Absolutely not, and yes it is wrong in my opinion. When I was a child, I was bullied for being chubby on a daily basis, so I know exactly how it feels to be ridiculed for not fitting the socially accepted model of beauty. Why would I bring that upon someone else? Not to mention the fact that beauty is subjective and shaming someone for not fitting either your own standard or society's standard is rude and ignorant. I wish more people would follow the advice of that old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

I'm so sorry to hear that.

At least in my case, I could escape the bullying from the outside world when I came home.
