so first i said “dads trying to get me to get a shirt and won’t let me get hoodies and i keep trying to tell him it’s a waste of money because i won’t wear them but i’ll wear sweaters because i’m comfortable in those“
my mom said “ You need shirts not sweaters that’s what I told him”
me: “i’m not gonna wear them it’s a waste mom. i’m not comfortable in shirts and i shouldn’t have to get them if i’m not comfortable in them”
mom: “ Oh stop it (my name). You’ve wore tshirts plenty of times. You need to stop with this being so self degrading. Get some darn tshirts and wear them. It’s too darn hot to be wearing sweaters
me: “ mom it’s easier said than done to quit bing insecure. it’s not my fault i can’t control it. and it’s not to hot to be wearing sweaters i can roll up the sleeves. i don’t get why it’s such a big deal that i have a different style than you, caidence, kyleigh, adalynn, and every girly girl on the planet. you said it’s okay to be different so why can’t i dress how i like to dress?”
mom: “ First off....sweaters are way thicker than shirts. Secondly, I never said you can’t dress how you want, I said you need to wear T-shirt’s too. I never said your style has to be the same as any other girl or mine. Thirdly, it IS YOUR FAULT. YOU CAN CONTROL IT. Stop picking at the things you don’t like about yourself and embrace your beauty. STOP CARING WHAT PEOPLE THINK”
me: “ i don’t sit there and stare at myself and say “oh i hate this that and that” the problem is i see myself in a shirt and i see my stomach and boobs and think of how many old men will stare at my boobs and it makes me uncomfortable, i see myself in shorts and i see my thighs and how big they are, i see myself in leggings and i see how big my butt is and again i think of how many old men will stare at it and it’s makes me uncomfortable. and you have said before that you weren’t to fond of how i constantly wear sweaters, ripped jeans, leggings, sweats. so basically saying you want me to wear skirts and crap like that. and it isn’t my fault it’s the people at school and other people constantly degrading bigger people. i’ve seen people bully a bigger girl and i was close to her size. and again it’s easier said than done to stop caring what people think.”
also me: “ and i’m done arguing because i’m not trying to get myself grounded because i’m saying what i feel and think. i got band shirts at target.”
also you don’t have to post any of this i just wanted to tell someone because i don’t have friends they all left lol but if you do i’ll definitely comment it was me haha
