I am so glad that you guys are finding this thread helpful. One of these days I will spill my gutts here as well. Right now I feel like I am doing enough kvetching in my journal.
I have no clue why discrimmination against people of size is considered ok? It falls under the "umbrella" of things that are unlawful to be discrimminated against. My guess is that people discrimminate against what they fear. Shoving somebody else down into the pavement doesnt make you look better; just insecure and stupid.
I hope that everyone continues to use this thread to vent and for inspiration as well. My only rule is that when you tell us what happened; you tell us how you have reacted to it, and that you end it on a positive note. If people can see how you survived the "bullying" it can help them deal with their own struggles and horror stories.
