I slept over her house once and she tried to get me to try on and take her old jeans from when she was "fat", which were US size 6's, which is really skinny, and I couldn't fit into. It prompted "Oh. I didn't think you were THAT big."

Fast forward through out my High School years, where I'm a shmuck who cannot tell people to smurf off if I dislike them, and I'm constancy being called fat her in subtle ways, and ugly for not being tall and stick thin. Ahhhh, Alexis. What a bitch.

Between this and the "pregnant?!" scenario at my old job, no wonder I have such a horrible opinion of myself.
The opposite happened to me. In high school, my friends made fun of me for being really skinny; they often called me anorexic and said other snooty things to me.

My mother is the only person who gives me a hard time about my weight these days (even though I eat more than she does). She was much more obnoxious when I was in high school, though. She worked at my high school and refused to take me to school unless I wore exactly what she wanted me to wear; she threatened to take away all of my privileges unless I regularly visited a tanning salon with her (she thought I was too pale); and she approached me in the lunchroom to tell me that I better sit somewhere else, if I was sitting with a group of students she didn't like (she didn't want to be embarrassed by me). Those days are over, luckily, but my mother is still a pain! =O
Ugh, that's terrible. =/

And I think pale is beautiful. I don't think having leathery orange skin is attractive when you were born with light skin. I think the prettiest skin color is the one everyone is born with. :3
Wow, I feel sorry for you Marshall Banana. I also agree with Rye.. pale skin looks good. I really dislike people with obvious fake tans.. can't stand that orange leather skin.. ugh!

Sure, getting a tan can look good.. but, you have to be careful not to overdo it. You should just keep your pale skin and don't listen to your mother
