Many thanks to the person who posted a comment on an earlier post! I got an email notification about the comment and it reminded me about the existence of this blog, which is why I'm doing another post. I'm sincerely sorry to the (very few) readers out there for not updating this space for so long.
Anyway, today was the first P.E. (Physical Education aka sports) lesson that we had after the month-long June holidays, which meant... it was time for the teacher to take our height and weight (refer to my "Taking My Weight In School" post).
One of my friends (let's call her Q), in good fun, made a weight joke about her best friend (let's call her P). When P stepped on the weighing scale, Q immediately shouted "OH MY GOD, P! You're 70kg?! Ha Ha Ha!" Q didn't actually see P's weight, which was obviously not 70kg (more like 55-60kg); she only meant it as a joke.
Well, I'm above 70kg so how is that supposed to make me feel? 70kg is funny? In that case they should just laugh at me every day when they see me at school.
Fine, perhaps I don't LOOK 70kg, because I AM heavier than I look, God knows why. Still, it's not impossible for me to be above 70kg, so I would appreciate some sensitivity, and not to have a heavy weight treated as a huge joke, like being heavy is something considered funny; something to be laughed about.
Thank God this is the very last time I'll ever have my weight taken in school - I'm graduating at the end of this year. I will be spared of further humiliation.
