The Girl That Can't Gain Weight

Just because I can't gain weight, doesn't mean I'm not eating.

Yes, I'm that girl, and quite frankly it gets annoying.

I may not look it, but I eat all of the time. Getting questioned "do you eat?" 24/7 is really annoying. Yes, I do eat, I just can't gain weight. I constantly eat food, but you'll never be able to tell. Food is my favorite thing, but you're so quick to judge. Just because I may not be 200 pounds, or even 150, does not mean I don’t eat the way I'm supposed to.

Just like the obese, the skinny get offended by your annoying remarks too. Not everybody is made to be perfect, we're all made individually as our own person. So, before you ask that 100 pound girl if she eats, maybe take into consideration that she is just as annoyed as you that she cannot gain weight.

I do eat, and I do have meat on my bones, it's just not enough for your liking, and for that, I will never apologize. It's just as hard finding clothes being a 100 pound eighteen year old, as it is being 300 pounds. It’s no where near fun, and the remarks get old, fast.

Truthfully, nobody is perfect, and you're probably not as perfect as you think you are, make sure to think about others feelings first. We are human too, believe it or not. We try to eat more, just to gain weight-- bet you'd never believe that. Treat everybody equally and the way you'd want to be treated, because we didn't choose this life, this life chose us.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
