So I was bullied at primary school and faced the odd torment from my brother, the odd comment about my weight from my dad and a doctor once said it was no wonder I broke my arm (when I was 9) cause I was so fat. This was when I was 7-8 stone and about 5ft tall and had been playing netball. My mum never stuck up for me and I think that was what hurt.
Apart from being bullied and receiving the odd comment in a controlled manner, and being constantly paranoid that people are looking and laughing at me when they are not, as well as getting the odd well-meaning comment, I have never had any problems with heckles or rude comments in the street; in fact, until last year when I was ill and stopped taking notice in my appearance and put on 5 stone (was 19 odd stone before so wasn't skinny, but am very tall and carry weight well), I used to get adoring comments and a lot of attention from men. I never have looked my weight for various reasons, but there is no doubting I am very fat, especially now. And I do know, and have seen, people get really rude comments in the street... grown adults shouting jibes at others. I have had a child call me a lump before, but that wasn't him being rude. I was more offended by his mother who smacked him for it!
So what stories of being heckled at have you got? I just read all these stories of shop assistants making nasty comments in disbelief.. not that they are untrue, I mean in shock that grown people would make such comments. I have never come across such rudeness in my life before.
