Discrimination & Prejudice are 2 things that really bother me and that I have witnessed first hand and something that really bothers me, especially when it comes to my children. I have seen how your size can put you at a disadvantage and how you dress can make you an outcast. What really bothers me is when someone uses it to classify you in front of other people. And there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it. Its every where you go. People don't realize the psychological implications that just saying the word big or fat can have on an individual throughout their entire life. It really comes through in todays media, when someone says you're CURVY, its a bad thing.
