Question
Hi,

I am 26 years old woman. I live with two roomates, they are both 24. I'm a very beautiful woman and they are fat and ugly. But I have always been very nice, polite, and kind to both of them.

They have been treating me rudely ever since I first moved in with them, but I have always been considerate. I wonder if it is jealousy over my looks? I have not given them any reason to treat me rudely since I have always been kind.

Whenever we get dressed up to go out, they are always teasing me about my chest size. I am only an A cup being a very thin girl, and they are very obese, so they are like double D cup. But they are always making cruel comments. Saying "flat boobs flat boobs" and laughing constantly...it's August now and this has been going on since January.

I am really tired of the breast size comments and the teasing about it. Their breasts are ugly and sagging down to the floor, but I have never said anything about them being fat and ugly. I have never been mean to them even once. So they have NO RIGHT to tease me about my chest size.

How should I deal with this situation? What do I say when they keep on teasing me about my small chest size? It's an area I am very sensitive about.

thanks
Ana

Answer
Ana,
Speak up for yourself. Their comments are unacceptable. Then take a look at W or Vogue for a little boost of self esteem in this area. I understand your sensitivity. When I considered surgery, my trainer asked me, "Do you really want guys to look at you because of your breasts?" Um, no. Being slender is a wonderful thing. And, how about finding new roommates?

Leslie
