Happy birthday OP. Plenty of people find beauty in girls that are “above weight”. Also I know a few people who were “above weight” at your age and ended up the happiest people ever.

Don’t let them bring you down.

I hate getting behind on the mail. It doesn't take long, and then you've got an overwhelming amount.

Fair--like I said, I'm not a mental health professional. Whatever the case, OP needs to talk to a professional.

That’s a large FU no doubt, but a heck of a learning experience.

Does your twin treat you like crap to? Fuck her if she is.

>Don't beat yourself

Especially not on cam!

Maybe your friends wife will you know... reciprocate.

Also I get why this has such a big downvote rate now. People think I'm lying.

"Logjammin'"

Hahaha what is this, the start of a porno or something?

He wasn't there to fix the cable?

My body and mind said yes, my anxiety said don't you even attempt to bother the working man....

To this point, make sure you have a bank account on your own. Not attached to your parents. Most places (in America at least) will let a minor create their own bank account around age 16. It’s better if you do it at a bank that your parents aren’t at. Aka a completely different brand. Gather your important documents and make sure they’re accessible. Birth certificates and ssn cards can be replaced fairly simply with a fee through the web or a visit to the appropriate offices. When you’re able to get out, do it as one fell swoop as much as possible. Distinct possibility that when they realize you’re leaving and intend to cut them out of your life, they’ll try to beat you to the punch to hurt you for not conforming to their control anymore.

Your parents are pieces of shit

Happy Birthday, op. Sorry your parents are so cruel.

No. At will means at will. And it's not against the law. You can be fired for ANY reason in an at will state (like mine) and its perfectly legal. As long as they're not falsifying information (and even then YOU have to prove that) they can fire you whenever they want. You don't even actually need a reason in an at will state. The boss can just walk in and be like "you're fired" and boom you're out of a job. There are no federal laws to prevent this either. Most jobs use this to hold over your head to keep you in check. Sucks but it's legal so there's nothing you can do.

Bow-chicka-bow-wow.

Happy Birthday, lovely. I'm sending you SO much love! You deserve more than this and -- no matter how your family treats you or what they say to you -- know that you are special and damn right you deserve that cake.

I'm not a parent -- but if I was, I could never imagine treating my child the way that yours have treated you. If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to hop in my DM's ❤️ Just keep working on you, focus on the things that make you happy and keep growing - one day, you'll see just how special you are and how much better you can be without letting their words take you down. You deserve better.

Oh honey, I am so sorry your family is treating you like this. This is small consolation from an internet stranger, but if you you don't have another place to go (moving in with a friend? Aunt? Grandparents?), and you have no choice but to stay at this residence (this isn't a home!), please keep in mind that your situation will not last forever: as soon as you can free yourself from your toxic family, do so, without guilt. They deserve no contact from you. You can fly without their weights pinning down your wings.

When I was little, I was friends with two twin girls - one was the "pretty, popular one" and the other was always an afterthought. I'm ashamed to say I was too young and dumb to notice it at the time, but my mom did, and was always furious at how disparate the girls were treated by their own parents.

You family has spent years showing you who they really are. All you can do now is believe them. I'm sorry. Hugs to you.

You are enough. If these people don't love you, you will find people who do in life. It may just take a little time. Hang in there. You'll find yourself and your place in the world.

Seems to happen all the time.

Happy Birthday lovely girl.

PLEASE always remember 1 thing, it WILL get better.

You are worthy and much stronger than you think.

Speak to your therapist, and all the lovely people on here, let it all out. Keep moving forward before you know it you will be away from these people who don't appreciate you.

Stay strong girl, you can do this ❤

This is emotional abuse. Get someone to talk to (counselor, therapist etc.) and do whatever feels good for YOU. If they don't accept you for you, then that's their problem.

Also, totally forgot, so editing this just to say: HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAY! <3

Your family are awful human beings. Keep your head up. You deserve the cake of your dreams!
