Why can’t I gain weight?

Well I’ll be honest and say when I was a teenager up until now (I’m 22) I haven’t really eaten as much as I should have. I am around 6 foot and I only weigh 120. I am in queue for an eating disorders group and they told me to not do anything to hard on my body. I will also say I am kind of out of shape since going up the staires almost knocks the wind out of me.

I am tired of being like this! When I was a kid I was so active and could run almost forever and I see I have neglected myself and I am paying the price for it. My question is how can I gain weight? I am apparently supposted to get atleast 2000 calories a day. I see people in my family reach that number easily, in a matter of fact some of them are concerned to reach that number cause they want to lose weight. But I either just almost reach 2000 calories a day or I fall short by alot. It’s really frusterating! They have so many products with less calories that it seems under weight people have been forgotten. If anyone knows of a way for me to gain weight or something thats high in calories thats not junk food or to sweet please let me know! I was told that I’m not gaining weight because my body is so starved of nutrition and calories that when I eat it is going to the necessary places first, the heart, the brain, the lungs ect. I wish I could gain weight like other people.

How can I stop crying so easily, and not be weak?

I am extremely sensitive due to adults making fun of me, and the usual jerk teenagers when i was younger. The adults made me cry because they would make fun od me for eating because i was over weight when i was younger. i mean i lost weight after joining the cross country team in gr.7, but im sorta chubby. im 130 pounds, and 5’5-5’6. the teens are the usual teens who think they are so big in groups, and made fun of me because i was asian or some crap like that.

just now i was figuring out my lock combination for my locker, since im going to be a freshman. i couldnt get it the first dozen times, and my brother exploded. yelling at me, which ended with me in tears. i sorta controlled it, because i could talk but my eyes watered, and i got that deep/weak feeling in my throat.

how can i become more stronger, and not as sensitive? i cry so easily :/

what should my 3rd paragraph be about?

Society’s perception of beauty has been changing constantly throughout the course of human history. Women’s clothing styles, hair styles, and outward appearances have altered, along with the fads. However, I believe women today are faced with the toughest standards of beauty yet; standards to be super-skinny, super-sexy, and unrealistically beautiful. So, I ask this question: Who actually creates the standards for beauty in the first place?
Looking back at the past, it appears that artists, sculptors, and painters have had large influences of what was judged as beautiful. So have actresses, singers, entertainers, and those with high social statuses. But who is given that type of power today? Although many would blame the media for insisting on size zero models and beautiful looks, the fault truly lies with us. We set the standards ourselves! We have the power to resist, or even to speak out, about the negative messages the media is sending to women; yet, often times we do just the opposite. We submit to the world’s standards of beauty, and we accept its false principles as our own. By soaking up the media’s messages and words, we are complacently helping to carry on the thin status quo. Women across the universe are being subjected to thousands of images and messages everyday which mostly only portray the “ideal” body type. The continual pressure to live up to the world’s ideals can cause women to become dissatisfied with their appearances. Often, this leads women to push themselves to lose weight because they feel the need to appear thin and flawless.
The emergence of the slim body type as a beauty standard for women has resulted in a phenomenon that is harmful to many women’s emotional and physical health. As models have become thinner and thinner, eating disorders and a decrease of self-esteem have reached an all-time high, particularly in young girls. It is common for teenagers to be obsessed with what is “in”. In many television advertisements, thin and gorgeous models and actresses appear on the television screen to promote beauty products. These commercials are portraying the message that beauty means being thin. The women on these advertisements are women who have a weight which is below average; in fact, many of these women are sickly underweight and achieved this by smoking, using drugs, or starving themselves. However, young girls do not realize that. They believe these women are perfect because they are thin. These advertisements are hard to ignore as a young girl, especially because they are shown during popular teenage programs such as One Tree Hill, The OC, and Gilmore Girls. However, television is only one of the ways the media reaches young girls. Millions of young girls are subscribed to magazines which contain stick thin models and actresses, fashion tips, and dieting tips. While flipping through the pages, girls begin comparing themselves to the models they see in the magazines, and as a result, they become frustrated with their own bodies. But what girls do not realize is that almost every picture in every magazine has been modified and enhanced. With new technology, almost any flaw can be easily removed, and model’s bodies can be retouched and made “perfect.” Teenage girls often find themselves longing to look like the models and actresses they see in these photos, yet they are not real pictures.

the topic is-who aets the standards for beauty and how do they affect lives?
