How Skinny Is Too Skinny?

So recently I was scrolling through the internet news and I saw a headline that was rather shocking to me. It read:

Stores Now Selling 000 Jeans

Now me being a naturally slender girl, I where a double zero size jean. I don't work out too terribly much, although I try to stay fit. I also don't really eat that healthy (even though I probably should, so I stay healthy the rest of my life). But what struck me as peculiar about this whole thing was the thought in my head that "Do people really want to be that skinny?." To me being a skinny person, I don't understand it. I do realize that there are some girls who would give anything to be my size, but it isn't all sunshine and roses.

First off, it is extremely hard to find clothing that fits well. I usually buy my jeans at American Eagle or Hollister (rather expensive stores for a 15 year old girl I might add) because not only am I slim, I am also 5' 5" and all legs. I have realatively long legs for my body, so it is very challenging to buy jeans that fit, are long enoguh, are stylish, and don't kill my budget. I am also aware that some bigger girls have a tough time finding jeans like I do, and I am here to tell you that you are not the only one!

Secondly, a lot of people get on my case about my size. Some people get the misinterpretation that I am anorexic or bullimic (which I can confirm I am NOT). Also, people say things like "you are too skinny" or "how do you get a thigh gap that big." Which, from firsthand experience, I know can be just as hurtful as being called a "fatty." And to go on the thigh gap phrase, I think that is absolutely ridiculous, I am pretty sure almost no one cares if you have a thigh gap or not. Just searching through the tumblr tag "thigh gap" shows thousands of pictures of scarily skinny women flaunting it like it's a grand prize.

Now I am very aware that this is a rather touchy and controversial subject! But I just wanted to tell everyone my thoughts. And I would love to hear yours! Comment below :)
