I have a body like these kids. I've had American friends of mine take me aside and ask if I have some kind of fucking problem. Hell, I lost a good childhood friend because he thought I was anorexic or something and wouldn't let it go.

This is at a time when I lived overseas and walked or ran everywhere I went, didn't even own a car. He said I basically wasn't even American anymore.

I told him "you say that like its was a bad thing."

He didn't laugh.

I think most healthy teenagers tend towards underweight. I was underweight throughout my teens, and I was nowhere near malnourished, if anything I was very unhealthy, I didn't start eating healthily until a few years ago, when I was a teenager I wouldn't touch vegetables and rarely ate fruit. But I was still underweight, because, like any reasonable teenager, I didn't gorge myself, I was active, and healthy teenagers are still growing, of course they tend to be thin.

I like how butthurt fatties get that they can't fit in skinny jeans/slim fit clothes... reading reviews when I shop for clothes it's the same "way too small, I don't know who could possible fit this. size ordered: XXL" if you have to order XXL you aren't slim fit anything

Uh, I live in Australia and I was probably thinner than them at their age. Granted, I really was very underweight, but still.

I... These people look normal. Is this really considered so weird in America?

They look a little frail, lacking muscle and wearing skinny jeans. In America, the knee-jerk reaction is, "Eew, they're skinny and malnourished," because we don't realize that they simply lack muscle and dress like fem-boys.

Weird in the 'safe space' of reddit.

Where I live, they would probably get stares.

The chicken legs are awfully funny, malnourished though not quite.

Wow the delusion is real. They are not skeletons they are people that dont gorge theirselves. I think most americans think what we have here is the norm everywhere. Ive went to france and italy and everyone was skinny except americans that were visiting. It was so nice to not have to see lard everywhere

They're also teenage boys who are active and still growing and thus obviously on the thin side. Omg. Logic is too much for fatties.

Very sad that they see them as abnormal. I mean, they're very lean but alot of teenage boys are like that (or rather, should be like that)

How can they not know what humans are supposed to look like?
