You know, chances are those girls are totally insecure with their own bodies, minds, etc..let's face it, at that age they are only just figuring out who they are - they are children. What they siad was rotten and horrible, but you did so well standing up to them -you probably helped them in the long run becuase they will have thought about what you told them - even if it is later on in life!!

You know my younger sister went through similar stuff -she was the \perfect size 2, and mean little tormenter, always teasing those who were fat etc...NOW, she has an 9 year old duaghter who is chubby, and it is all coming back to haunt her,becuase my niece is teased in school a lot, and she is hearing the same words that she once called people!

Life always comes back to bite you in the ass, and those girls will get their just desserts (on their hips - but you are an amazing woman, I must say - I dont' know if I could have had the strength, I probably would have just cried and left in horror.

I hope I can be a lot more like you!!
