If they want to wear revealing outfits that flaunts their bodies then more power to them. They should not live their lives in fear of being ridiculed.
I'm not trying to flame you or piss you off in anyway. I just want to know if you have had first hand knowledge or someone close that have/had such experience?
I've been made fun of most of my childhood and my young adult life.
I am handicapped, not seriously but enough that I can't stand for a long time or walk long distances. I look really retarded (literally) when I run.
