This Teen Has Been Bullied For Being Fat, And After She Showed Up At Her Best Friend’s Birthday Party Skinnier Than Her, Her Best Friend Was So Upset
A 16-year-old girl has a best friend the same age as her named Sara, and they have been close for the last 14 years.
She and Sara spent their childhoods together, and they went to the same schools and had the same classes too.
“Sara was always popular; she was always every boy’s crush. Every boy would tell her how beautiful her body was,” she explained.
“Anyways, they were right, though; she has the perfect amount of curves but is still overall skinny. I, on the other hand, was never really popular. In fact, I got bullied so much that I had to change schools last year.”
“I was bullied for being the “fat friend.” Sara knew that but still went on to say stuff like, “I am so fat nobody wants me” next to me.”
Sara also disclosed to her that she had an eating disorder, and Sara made that an enormous part of her personality. I was something Sara was proud of and talked about constantly in front of her.
Not long after she switched to a new school and stopped going to the same school as Sara, she lost a ton of weight.
She went from being 198 pounds to 110 pounds, and Sara is 143 pounds and the same exact height as her.
“I am not proud about the way that I lost the weight, but it is what it is,” she said. “It took me a few months to lose that much weight.”

In the months that she did lose weight, she never hung out with Sara or saw her in person. She FaceTimed with her and sent her texts, but that was it.
Then, Sara’s birthday rolled around, and Sara asked her to come to her birthday party, which was just going to be full of her family members.
She agreed to go, and when she knocked on the front door of Sara’s house, Sara’s mom opened up the door.
When Sara’s mom saw her, she was shocked.
“She had never seen me that skinny or skinnier than her own daughter ever as I was always way heavier than Sara,” she continued.
“She started to give me compliments and couldn’t stop talking about how good I looked “now that you’re skinny,” her dad also joined the conversation, and Sara didn’t like that.”
She did not feel really comfortable with all of the attention being on her and her weight loss, and she attempted to steer the conversation away from her multiple times, but Sara’s family couldn’t stop talking about her.
Sara was extremely upset with the spotlight not being on her, and Sara herself made an effort to talk about other things, to no avail.
When the party was over, and she went back home, Sara sent her a nasty text, saying she was “selfish” and a terrible person “for stealing her big day.”
Sara also brought up her eating disorder and accused her of not caring about it.
“I think she’s just jealous that I am the one that’s getting compliments and all the attention now,” she concluded.
She’s left wondering if she was somehow in the wrong for showing up to Sara’s birthday party skinny and making Sara feel outshone.
Do you think she owed it to Sara to let her know about her weight loss beforehand?
