Why are fat people favored over skinny people?

Today my friends and I saw a pretty and nice girl she had braids and she was really skinny. And hr voice was really soft. I have a class with this girl and she's super nice and quiet. Both of my friends are big (thick, chubby, don't want to say fat lol + they're both a lot bigger than me taller and "chubbier" because I'm petite.) One of my friends, she said hey to the nice girl and the girl said hey back. Then my friend said "She needs to gain more weight" but she looked perfectly fine and healthy. And now I notice a lot that girls who don't have 'curves' or big body parts and a large amount of body fat are disliked and looked down upon. I don't understand why. My two larger friends are really mean to me because I'm small and I look thinner than them why is it that people are so mean to smaller and skinnier people?

    People who take up more space may be considered more egotistical and negative tracts. Bullies sort of.. Controllers who deny their own behaviors when faced with the facts.. And look, now, there's 2 large individuals against 1. people will avoid them as much as they can. it's possible they are jealous, too. Nobody wishes to be laughed at in their face or behind their back used manipulated.. Larger people appear to be getting away with that. Avoid, run, most importantly, respect yourself.. Don't spend your time around people who choose not to like you, for whatever reason. People will come up with endless reasons not to like others.

    It's just because there insecure. I can't stand it when people encourage being chubby. No body wants to eat healthy or lose weight so they tell healthy people to gain more weight so they can feel better. I honestly don't understand people.😒

    Because those particular people are insecure & usually reflects how they feel about themselves. If they are saying all that crap about you; then you don't need friends like them. Your body type shouldn't matter. Only your heart & personality should. If you are in good health & can walk with no problem; they you are healthy & just as attractive =). So forget them. If they can't treat you with respect; time to find some better friends. Love yourself always

    People who are insecure in who they are will put down other people who look or act differently as a way of building themselves up. Who is it that's being put down changes depending on who you are around, what school you go to, even what city you live in. Don't pay attention to people who put you down because of your size and don't become like them either. Just be confident in who you are and when you get a bit older you'll realize that everyone is different and that's a good thing.

    When you get older, your are going to look back and say, those girls were JEALOUS.. Until then, enjoy being light, petite and fit. You are healthy.. and they know it and all the boys know it. You need to "up" your confidence level, you da sh!t ! Your life will not be consumed with diet and no sugar, you have a fast metabolism. Dress to impress, show off yourself.. you should NEVER feel bad about being, fit and healthy,, btw your friends are not.
