why do people make fun of fat people

its called ignorance ,there are unfortunately to many stupid people in this world that to make them selves feel good they need to make someone else feel bad ,but dont let it get you down ,because for every @sshole there is also some one who will love you for who you are.

I have often wondered that myself as I am one of the zillion people who are overweight and why do some people laugh at somebody with a disability? Are they just cruel by nature, or feel big by puttin someone else down? Do they do this to get brownie points from their friends by showing off their smart aleckness? I also wonder what these kind of people would do if someone belittled one of their own family in the same way? I would love to do just that to someone who has just made a rude fat remark to me.

It can be hard to explain, because some people do it for many different reasons. They don't know better that is usually young children though. And then there are those who speak before they think. And then there are some who are just mean and cruel and do it it get some form of enjoyment out of it and a few laughs sometimes. You'd be surprised that the people who are laughing the hardest or making fun has an overweight or person with a disability at home or relatives or even married to them. You'd think they'd know better. I have wished on several occasions that these people would have to live in my shoes for awhile. Not just a day or a week heck anyone can do that but over a month and have to deal with the same stresses and other things I deal with. I grew up around people who are overweight from a young age so I never saw nothing bad about it or funny. It was a natural thing. If people would just take the time to look beyond the weight and disability get to know us then they might find they like us beyond the disability or weight. Some just never give us a chance they see us as some form of ugliness or diseased. But all we can do if be the bigger person(no pun intended) and look over them. It might be tearing us up inside but we need to stand tall and walk away. Because by doing something about it we are just giving them leverage to hurt us more. Also when they get a reaction they tend to do it more and say more. Maybe one day in the future we won't have to worry about that. But until then they will make fun of overweight people,balding, people with disabilities, etc..

I would imagine it is a symptom of a few factors - 1. social conditioning - peer groups are doing it, they join in 2. ignorance - as to why people may be overweight.... 3. lack of moral upbringing - no one instilled compassion, justice, and veracity into them.

People make fun of other people out of ignorance and never having been taught that it is wrong. They are insecure and do not know any better. Hold your head high and ignore them as difficult as that may be. They are to be pitied.

Some people think fat is some kind of unhealthy thing.But if you can't or won't be thin,you'll take it easy.Do what you want to do.I make no fun of fat people .They have their own character that makes me amazing sometimes. Good health be with you!

because they are rude people and fat people are like clowns to them and they think that they have the right to laugh at us

itz a natural habit of man to make fun or to criticize things that dont seem normal to them.most people who are slim thinks that the fat people are wothless and can do nothing like that they could.not even only fat people,the people who are black are also subjected to such embarrassment.so dont care bout wht people say live your own life with those people who accepts you as you are.simple solution to this problem

i can never ever comprehend why people must comment on other people's size. i totally understand what you're saying, but for me it's the complete opposite- i'm petite and people make fun of my size ALL THE TIME!! even people who i've just met or who barely knows me at all keeps commenting on my small size and i feel so sick of it, not to mention insulted too. i mean it's not like i want to be small and slim. i so want to gain weight but i seem to have a high metabolism rate and it's tough for me to gain weight no matter how much i eat. ironic, isn't it? anyway, if you're small or big sized, i dont think people should comment on your body size at all, even if it's a joke or not. it can seriously hurt people's feelings, and some things are better left unsaid coz it might be sensitive to some people. anyhow, take care!

People do this because they have insecurities about themselves and so they choose to pick on others to make themselves look better...It is a very sad thing for sure, but it has to do with the way their life is going so they push their feelings on others..
