I get so upset and anrgy because everyone seems to completely hate people with my body type. I cant see what all the fuss is about, but people like to laugh about it all the time.

If i ever see a sports person or celebrity, the first thing any article says is "this lanky figure". Sometimes they are referred to as "freaks" and make us out to be somehow awful people just because of the way we look.

Its like how people laugh at obese people. Maybe worse.

I cant help but get offended because it feels that society doesn't accept people like myself, and the media thinks i'm a "freak" and writes off anyone that isnt "perfect"

During the world cup many commentators draw unnessesary attention to players that are "lanky" or "wirey".

I feel that criticising like they do is kind of like racism, because racists use slang against people with different colour skin. Well i have a different body type, and i get ridiculed for it, and slang is used against me! Being tall and long limbed is like being part of a race. Why is it a joke!? All i get is haters.
