i wonder why she apologized twice for being fat?
Wow, that is really really sad.

Egh. This reminds me of some of the sort of guilt-tripping notes a friend in elementary school used to write to her friends and family.
There's no such thing as fat. Only beautiful, and more that is beautiful. :)
why would a kid be apologizing for that? The mom must be cruel.
I know exactly how they feel.
My heart breaks for the child who has to apologize to their Mom for who they are, the Mom who made them in the first place. What grade level was the school?
Thats increadibly sad.
That is just heart wrenching. :(
I sometimes feel the need to make the same apology.
thats the saddest thing ever.
this makes me sad. I can relate. I wish that family health, mental and otherwise for New Years.
I'm sorry that I got fat.
But...
You're just as fat!
i know exactly how that kid feels, i know what its like to write that same note over and over agien then crumple it up and throw it away
This is sad. If you look at it, it's folded like it was a paper airplane. I wonder why.
Dear Mom, I'm sorry you fed me foods that made me fat like fast food instead of cooking healthy stuff like veggies and whole grains. I'm sorry that you bought me video games instead of a bicycle, I'm sorry that portion sizes today are regular or super instead of small and medium. I'm sorry you never realized soda is a treat, not a necessity. I'm sorry that I ate to replace the time and affection you should have given me.
(letters children should write to their parents but don't know any better)
Dear Mom,
I'm sorry I am a presumptuous asshat. I don't know any better.
Love,
Odd Nick
Her mom made her fat.
Well MacG, Odd Nick does make quite a point.
But I too can relate to the note, even though my mom promotes eating healthy.
Uh...excuse me...moms have issues too. Why do people expect perfection from parents. You grow up and don't like us whatever we do. PUH-LEESE you need material to share with your analyst. Eat this or don't, like I care.
I laughed.
Very sad
The fact that it's folded like a paper airplane and was found left in a classroom, along with the bluntness of the note make me think that this might have been a joke at school-- ya know, the whole "airplane to the back of the head during class" thing.
Sad. To have such a burden and distorted view of what fat really is. It is the beginning of a disorder that could possibly be fatal. She needs help, quick.
RE: What grade level was the school?
7-12, but it was a 10th grade french class.
It's interesting, the first comment I read refered to whoever wrote the note as a she, but I immediately thought of a boy for some reason. Don't know why. Either way, it's an incredible find.
That made me sad. I think about making that apology to my mom everyday. I'm also working towards being less fat. :)
damn.. this is pretty sad. i know exactly how that kid feels. my mom always gets mad at me when i get "fat." that kid's gonna have low self-esteem when he/she grows up unless he/she is strong.
I know how this kid feels. My dad tells me every day how ugly and fat I look in my clothes. I'm bigger, but not horribly so (I go back and forth between a 16 and an 18) but it still hurts to hear things like that. Parents, think before you talk to your kids, or critisize them. The fault may be theirs or yours, but be gentle with your words. People are fragile and easily broken.
i was told i was fat all my life...
i believed it...
but i look back at pictures...
i was not fat then...
i am now.
to this could have been me...
I can so relate. I wasn't back then either, was told I was and now I really am!
this is heartbreaking.
tess- i hope to god you don't ahve children.
I've got to say this is so sad that the girl feels so guilty.
Tess-Parents arnt perfect,but they are the ones that buy the food.
Hah...Wesley Willis...
Dear Mom,
I'm sorry I got thin.
Wow this reminds me of one of my best friends from high school. She is a ballet dancer and is 5' tall and 90lbs and she has NO fat on her body its ALL muscle. Her mom is psycho about her weight and what she eats. So this one time at my birthday party we were all having cake and I could tell that she was really uncomfortable and she was just picking at it. So I asked her if she didn't like the cake and she totally broke down and started crying because she knew if she ate some her mom would get mad at her. It broke my heart.
Her mother doesn't have to have done anything bad for her to feel this way.
My mum didn't, but I could have written this note.
