How does it feel to be a fat kid in your childhood?

I think it must be tough. I don't know how being called fat makes you feel but being called skinny, dandi (stick), flat really stresses you out. I was one skinny girl in school and I had to listen to all those names not only from strangers passing by but from my own friends. I never let my friends know that I seriously get bugged when they call me 'dandi' as I knew some of them will tease me more after that. Also, those are such times that everyone is called by some name, and if you become touchy, you are pulled more because of that. I could deal with friends because I knew that they love and support me, but there were complete strangers passing by taunting, "look at that dandi", "No, she is not my type. Complete dandi she is". Trust, it is very big deal to turn deaf ear to such remarks. And even if you confront, the mentality of people in India does not change.
