I am so sorry

You don't put them in their place?? It feels good to do no matter what your size. You have to reclaim your power. You cannot be a silent victim.

This reminds me when I was 16 and on a field trip with this horrible, horrible summer school Science class I was forced to take, in which every day I was made fun of for my weight.

I was about a month into my severe anorexia (which lasted about 2 years). I was starving and had already lost a significant amount of weight. We went out to a pizza place and while everyone else ordered, I wandered around outside, trying to take my mind off the fact that I was STARVING.

I walked by a group of male classmates and they started cracking jokes about how I was going to eat all the pizza.

I wanted so bad to scream at them, 'No, you pig out on the pizza. I didn't eat anything because I am starving myself so you'll leave me alone.'

Instead I just went back to the bus sat alone and cried.
The pain from that time in my life never goes away.

That is a much, much bigger set of emotions to deal with there. My situation was more annoying than anything else. I didn't feel bullied or victimised, but if it was happening every day like yours, I'm sure I would. I'm sorry that happened to you. It's crazy how we let other people have that power over us, especially when we're young. x
