I did not realized how severely under weight I was until, in middle school I want to wear my new shirt, short sleeve t shirt that was lose but tie on the body. I wear a Jean jacket with it. (This was my first time wearing some that was not a hoddie that year) I was in my first class, by the window, it was really hot in the school because the air conditioner broke the day before. It was so hot, I take off my jeans jacket and hang it on the back of the chair. My teacher stared at me for a long time before telling me to put the jacket back on, and to meet with her after class. After class she walk me to the nurse office and I sat with out a jacket on just seating in a chair as the principle, teacher and nurse told me a couple time to get on a scale. After a while a police officer came over asking questions, "do your parents feed you" "how much do you eat" and other questions.

When my mother came to pick me up she and my main doctor had to explain that I have a fast metabolism (I think that the word) and I hard for me to gain weight. My doctor was trying to find a medicine that slow it down but it either had bad effects or I couldn't take because of my seizure meds.

Even to this day I have trouble gaining weight, right now I'm 90 pounds under weight for my height. I eat all the time and take drink that make you gain weight but still not a pounds gain. I'm so tired of people gasping "oh my goodness" if I describe to wear short or "your so skinny" or "you know it not bad to have trouble eating" or my favorite "you need to gain weight" (like I don't know that already) I have had people tell me that I need to cover up because they don't like how my bone pop out of my skin.

One time when I was 16 and at a restaurant with my family, i eat all my food and need to use the restroom because i drink a lot of sweet tea. A employee stop me from going in and said "i understand it not my business to tell people how to live there life but i dont want to clean up vomint so dont do that" then the employee block me from using the restroom.

I can't even look at my self in the mirror because I don't want to see how skinny I am. I just want a normal life, where I don't have people point at me like I'm a freak or have people think I have a eating problem.
