Hey reddit! I (16F) recently participated in a summer exchange program and went to abroad to a foreign country to study for the semester. Over there, I had a great time, was on good terms with my host family and friends, except one girl.

This girl had a different body type to me, she was slightly bigger. (I don’t mean this in a rude way, she just was,). I do a lot of extracurriculars that require exercise so I stay in shape. The entire program, I had a feeling she hated me.

Anything I said, whatever I did, she always found a way to say: “Yeah it’s because you’re so skinny.” and even went as far to call me “anorexic” when I told her I was on a diet. (This is a healthy diet recommended to me by medical professionals).

It kinda made me uncomfortable. Once, I suggested going swimming and she said, “Of course you’d want to go swimming, you’re the tiniest person here, you can show yourself in a swimsuit.” Like, jeez.

There was one phrase she used, A LOT. “You need to eat more.” I have a small appetite, and I eat less than her, it’s not that big of a deal girl…

By the last day, I had had it. It was my last day, I was so sad, I didn’t want to leave my friends, and I wasn’t feeling hungry. It was around the 50th time she told me, “Girl, you need to eat more. I can like see your bones sticking out.” and I freaked out.

I was having a bad day. The last thing I needed was to deal with her, so I responded, “Yeah? You need to eat less you fat f*ck.”

She was shocked, and I left before a response. She texted me later and said she was shocked how fatphobic I was being and she’s glad I left. She even got her parents to text and call me to yell at me.

I am feeling bad, AITA reddit?
