And the five year old says "Mommy I'm too fat."
Pretty sure tonight at work a woman came in with her three children.
All were moderately healthy looking, except the one boy may have had a bit of a stomach, but certainly wasn't fat.
The oldest child, a girl, was no more than 9 years old
And the two sons seemed to be about 7 and 6 years old.
[the 7 year old was the one with the extra pound or two]
anyways, at the register, all the kids said they wanted to get chips and the mother was alright with that.
Next thing I knew, the 6 year old said to the 7 year old
"You don't need chips. You're already fat and chubby. Look at that stomach *pats stomach*"
I was appauld by that lil brat. And the 7 year old looked like he was about to cry. The mother didn't even say anything.
When they were picking out their chips, the 9 year old kept saying they shouldn't be eating chips cause they're all going to get chubby.
I think it's pitiful that kids THAT young are worried about their weight and can be that harsh to another child that barely has a few extra pounds. The mother didn't even say anything.
this is what society has produced? Self concious children who think they're too fat? Disgusting.

I'm fat! But not self-concious about it.
My sister, though, she's 9 and she counts calories and skips meals half the time.

I've been called fat most of my life even if I wasn't. Now I'm trying to loose 40 pounds.

I thought I was too fat when I was that age...:oops:
I thought that was the reason I didn't have many friends, and the friends that I did have didn't treat me fairly, but it ws just baby fat. When I entered sixth grade, I lost all my baby fat. Everyone kept telling me how much better I looked, and I actually did get some good friends. In seventh grade, I realized the reason I got better friends was because I wasn't so self-concious about myself and I wasn't afraid of rejection as much...I felt like I could handle andything, and it felt great!
Ok, so that had nothing really to do with that...I guess that's sort of like that kid's point of view or something...I don't know =]

I don't think kids are worried about their weight... They see fat cartoons and think it's funny because it's on a cartoon. And when they see big people in the real world, they think thats funny too. And kids don't like being made fun of, it's not so much worrying about their weight.
So yea it's awful, but it's what kids do. But they grow out of making fun of eachother in ways like that. (Like patting his stomach). It's just kids being kids, they don't know what they're doing. It IS hurtful for the child that's being bullied but yea, we can't do anything, it happens all the time.
So yea kids can be cruel basically, but they always have been because they don't know any better.

that's sad..when people call you fat when your not it makes you really self concious...you can get a complex about it easily. i know because my younger brother has been telling me i'm fat since i was like 10. which, i'm not fat at all i'm probably a little underweight. poor kid...and i agree with you that the mom should have said something.

Wow, that is sad.

Yeah, that is truly sad. But the mum deserves a kick in the behind too, especially seeing as the younger one seemed to take it to heart so much.
