I can't believe what I heard a group of teens talking about yesterday. While I was waiting for my kids to ride a ride at the amusement park, I overheard a group of 5 teen boys commenting on a large lady. She was obviously overweight, but so what. She was taking her child out of the stroller so they could ride the carousel together when they walked by. They LOUDLY said "I hope they have bigger seats for her big, fat a**!~" and continued to make fat jokes. I looked at my daughter in amazement that I couldn't believe what I heard...I was so mad! About that time, the lady heard as well and turned to look at them too. My heart broke-all I could see was her sad face. I was in shock and all I could say was Damn, that was RUDE...and I hope those little douchbags heard me too!~ Another guy heard as well and told them they were being rude... Apparently someones parents didn't teach them any manners.

Yes it should be legal to kick kids's *kitten* when they act this way.0

I would have said something to them!0

:frown: Terrible. I hope that lady heard you both saying they were being rude, so she knew some people are caring!! Id like to think in that situation I would have jumped to her rescue and said something, but in reality, I dont know what Id do :[0

I'm mad just reading about it! :mad:0

yeah, a lot of people just do and say whatever they want, without any thought of how it might hurt someone. don't be afraid to tell someone when they are being a jerk because they don't know what is going on with that person who they just made fun of or how deeply it can effect a person, so at least by sticking up for them, u can show them that someone is on their side and doesn't think that way about them. whatever happened to "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"?0

Jeez some peoples kids, if my dad heard me talking like that he'd take me out back and kick my *kitten*.0
-
There is no accountability anymore...if the parents heard you saying something to the little darlings they would probably want to sue you for infringing on the little angel's right to free speech. Makes me sick.0
-
That's awful :-( That poor woman. I hope she could just forget it and have fun with her child.0
-
what goes around comes around.. someday they will get theirs0

I am that lady...i am someone who is abused by groups of skinny little teenage ****bags on a regular basis. I hate these kids, their rudeness stays with a person forever, trust me. I remember incidents from years ago like this...and those kids don't remember i was even in their presence...but i remember their faces and words and the way it made me feel...i believe in karma so i hope life has got them back for hurting me...every last one.0

Sometimes it makes the situation worse. Sad but true.0 -
It is really rude to be sure! On the flip side ( I am certainly not excusing their behaviour)
I was out to lunch with my Dad about 18 months ago, my Dad was 71 at the time, he was dithering at the counter ordering the food and a man in his 40`s was saying very loudly, hurry up you old f*** we haven`t got all day. So I went in all guns blazing and told him to shut his big mouth etc.etc. His first words were "what has it got to do with you, you fat f***" I was around 180lbs and 5`4" He was a lot bigger than me (fat wise) We continued to banter words till the Manager came over and threw him out.
But it played on my mind that yes I was overweight and so here I am down to 140lbs. I don`t want anyone to say that to me again!0 -
Reminds me of the overweight lady bus monitor and the kids that made fun of her. The father of one of the boys couldn't BELIEVE his kid acted like that and was so upset and disappointed. Every kid who does something like that should be made to face the same punishment those kids did.0
-
That is sad!! That poor lady knows she is overweight she doesn't need to be reminded by p#@s Pots that are rude. If you would have said something to them do you really think they would have cared??0

Oh believe me, it's not only kids. I was at the store one day and a woman came in with her baby, Her baby started crying (as most babies do) and these two adult women were snickering about her. I was looking through clothes right next to them, They were saying, "OMG, if that were my kid I would have just stayed home, why would she bring a baby to the store if she were crying." I couldn't help myself, my blood was boiling the more they talked about this poor woman who was obviously frustrated as well. i straight up told them, "Yeah, so she is going to let her baby control her life and stay stuck in her home just to convenience rude people like you." They had the audacity to back up there complaints with, "well, when I had my kids I would have never come out in public if they were crying like that" I just looked at them in disgust and walked away. Sometimes people are just really rude and unfortunately that rude behavior gets transferred to their children. I think it is terrible to comment on someone whom you have no clue of their life or their story.0

Most people in this world are a bunch of idiots. What goes around comes around to them in the future.0

that is really sad!! some teens just arent brought up well, though if i'd have over heard that i'd have said something but i can be very confrontational when it comes to things like this!! it is disgusting on how some people see/treat overweight people0
-
That makes me so sad...I'm 18 but would never, ever, ever, in a million years make or allow comments like that to be said by either me or my group of friends.

I can't stand people like that. Years ago, I was outside watering my garden (in grubby clothes, looking pretty gross, I'll admit) and two teenage boys were walking on the sidewalk. One said to the other "There's a girl for you!" and the other responded "Ugh, no thanks!"
I sprayed them with the hose.
I suppose if they'd have shown a little more restraint, I would too. I don't put up with BS like that and neither should anyone else.0 -
Sadly, that is something that will probably remain with her. I think what makes it worse is when your young child is with you, and they hear it. That is one of my bigger reasons for losing weight. I never ever want my son to have to come to my defense, or be embarassed. I know from experience, that when I have been ridiculed in public, my husband would always want to come to my defense. I would get upset with him because him confronting them seemed as though it was acknowledgement on his behalf, that he was with someone that was obese. It seemed to hurt worse. Bullying does not just happen within the young population, it happens to everyone.0

Kids are the cruelest when it comes to being different in any way. Sometimes it doesn't even have to do with how they're raised, it's just how they act in times of peer pressure and looking to fit in if not just because they're little sh*ts by nature.
I can remember when I was younger, my mother's always been overweight all her life, and she was with me on a field trip or something and a little boy told me my mother was fat. I punched him in the face and told him so what it's better than being ugly like you. You can bet no one said anything about my mother again.
It's easy to say "well if they don't want those mean things said they should stop being lazy" but you don't know the situation that got them there and chances are if you had people, especially snot-nosed little potty mouths, ragging you on just how you look all the time you wouldn't have motivation to do jack squat except cry and feel bad for yourself.0 -

You can be raised to be a decent human being and still act that way. My mother was friend with the parents of an older teenage boy that used to corner me in the church we attended's gym every Sunday and threw basketballs in my face. They were good people and they punished him severely every time it happened but he targeted me because I was a fat kid. It's just what he wanted to do.0 -
God, this makes me sick. WTH is wrong with kids these days? Oh yeah ...wait..their parents are the ones that are to blame for this. If the parents had ANY manners at all they would teach their children to be respectful. I would die if one of my children did this..but they wouldn't cause they know better and do HAVE MANNERS.0

^^ that ^^ and they probably have parents who make fun of fat people or have become masters of putting other people down to make themselves feel good. Teenagers have always been idiots, but they learned it somewhere.0 -
People in general have a lack of respect for one another. Today's society is down the crapper. Everyone has this s***ty all about me attitude. They don't care about anything or any one but there simple minded selves. Just think how it's going to be in say twenty years. Respect and manners are a thing of the past. Very sad but true.0
-
Rudeness is everywhere you go. I know this for a fact with my problems. For the most part, I block it all out and pay it no heed. Or try to.
I hope the poor woman uses it to shove it back into the teens faces and the mother. You can't help it if a child begins to cry...
As a person who use to be bullied herself, I have to say to be strong and do not let it get to you. If you must, laugh at them for being so stupid in the first place.0 -
Yes it should be legal to kick kids's *kitten* when they act this way.
THIS^^^ I would have had to say something. Some kids now days have no manners because they are not taught respect.0 -
I'm grateful for kids like that, probably still be my 265lb former self without people like that, and also don't blame the parents for their behaviour, it's like blaming the fat lady's parents for her weight0
-
Because resorting to violence is clearly the way to show them who is more mature... how about ignore it and realize that some people are simply not worthy of your time?Yes it should be legal to kick kids's *kitten* when they act this way.0
