Today, my 15 year-old daughter got kicked out of her cheerleading squad because she was overweight. I heard one of the cheerleaders say, "She must be overweight because her mom is." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML
Today, I told my mom I wanted to try out for the track team. Her exact words were "good luck, fatty". FML
Today, I caught my mother telling my 11-year-old daughter that if she wants to be happy in life, she needs to start exercising now, because fat can creep up on you, and rich guys never marry fat girls with nice personalities. I was fuming. FML
Today, like every other day, my daughter thinks that degrading skinny people is very "non-conformist" and "edgy". This time, though, a slightly slim girl punched her in the face when she accused her of being anorexic. Now people think I gave my daughter her new black eye. FML
Today, I discovered my 17 year-old daughter has an eating disorder. When I confronted her, she confessed that she’s doing it because she wants to stay thin, so that her boyfriend doesn’t dump her like her father dumped me for not being thin enough. FML
Today, my seven-year-old told me to lose weight. Her reason? There's a family fun day coming up at her school and she is embarrassed. FML
Today, I tried out for cheerleading. The judges, two head cheerleaders, sized me up, burst out laughing and made fat jokes towards me. I fought back and called them, "twiggy fucking sluts." At that moment, the coach walked in and saw and reported me to the principal. The judges got off scott free. FML
Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML
Today, I was watching my 7 year-old daughter and her friend jump on our trampoline. I was really impressed by all the flips they were doing, and I told her, "Hey! I can't even do that." To that her friend replied, "Of course you can't. You're fat!" FML
Today, I told my kids that our family dog was getting too fat and we should give him a little less food. My youngest daughter whispered to her sister, "Mommy's fat and we still give her food." FML

That's weird. The cheerleaders at my school come in different sizes. the best one is the fat girl.

yeah, I've noticed that weight standards for HS cheerleaders have relaxed considerably I'm the past 10-15 years.

So have the athletic standards. I see very few aerial moves or even the old school pyramids anymore when they put cheerleading on tsn. But really, with 190lb cheerleaders there's no way they could physically do most of the moves that used to win contests.

That is so rude. She's better off being out of the squad and away from those bitches.

It's much worse, socially, to be overweight in high school than as an adult. This is an Fmykid'sL, stop being a selfish piece of crap and go support your daughter in what is probably the most devastating experience of her adolescence!

I think at least part of the FML was that her daughter's feelings had been hurt. When I was bullied in secondary school, my mum got ANGRY.

I find that odd. Typically (atleast here) as long as you have money you can be whatever and whoever in high school. There were a few stereotypical "big" girls on our squad. Australia must have different standards. I don't think it should matter how big you are, as long as you're able to perform the given routine. There are some shallow ass ***** in this world. Maybe you and your daughter could join a gym together and motivate each other to get in better shape.

popularity doesn't matter on how much money your parents earn, what happend to appearance & personality hmm? just adding in, cheerleading isn't that big in Australia so I assume our routines would be pretty weak, compared to your typical American cheers. Weight really shouldn't matter, but un fortunately Aussie high school girls can be total bitches that find it amusing to make other girls feel like shit. OP's daughter probably isn't that big anyway,

@25, that's a good idea. The mother has probably been fat since the kid was born, so the daughter probably grew up with the idea that being fat was the norm and when she was old enough to notice other 'prettier' girls, she was still busy being fat.
