You won't see she hurting,

Cause no she's not hungry she just ate, 

And no He's not hiding something under that baggy clothing he's just cold.

 Skinny, that's the goal right?                                                                                                                                       Well, what happens if you're already skinny but you can't see it because one person told you to loose some weight, or not eat so much? What if you're not so skinny and someone feels the need to point it out? What happens then? I'll tell you, she starts to starve herself because no matter how thin she gets its never thin enough, and he stops eating all together because, even though he's working out, and dieting, there is always that one person who decides that he's not good enough. Why do we think we have the right to tell someone that they aren't good enough. It is not our responsibility to worry about someone else's eating habits, just as it is not their responsibility to tell us. Be aware of the pain a single set or words can cause, don't use them if you think they might hurt.
