[quote]Fat little girls are spoiled rotten and told they are all special princesses[/quote] Probably because their parents are worried, knowing what's like out there and all the pressure it is to be attractive. Especially for a female. Like I stated in the OP, I was never told I was attractive or beautiful growing up. However my cousin, who was overweight, was constantly told she was the "pretty" one in the family, mainly because of self pity. She grown up with more confidence than I, but it didn't look well on her. The rest of your post.... lol.
