Im in high school and all year the kids called me doughboy they made mean pictures of me and called my house asking for the Fatty Fat. I lost all my friends they think if theyre seen with me theyll be considered losers im a loser. They always say what big Breasts i have and they put bras in my locker they trip me at school and beat me up to steal the little money i have . They spread rumors about me being gay they call me a faggot and they write graffiti in all the bathrooms about me they rip my clothes and even cut off some of my hair once . I went to some teachers and parents but they all say he same things lose weight and they wont tease you and harass you I want to just die I wish I was dead . I dont know how to lose weight im on an all junk food diet but i dont know what kind of meals would be healthy . i used to be healthy before my mom and dad died (they were killed by a drunk driver)i live with my aunt and uncle and theyre soo mean they say if your fat you deserve to be teased and my uncle always laughs about how i havent hit puberty he says im not a man and ill never be a man. I cry all the time I know there is always someone in a worse situation than mine but im not sure if thats true right now I wish i was never born I hope someone can help me please.

I assume you go to school, and I suggest you talk to your school counselor as soon as possible, because what you said sounds like it could be classified as a type of abuse, and you could get out of that situation if you want to with your aunt and uncle, if not, your counselor will probably talk with them, because they might not realize (hard to believe) that they are doing that.

Hi Darren
Do you think your girlfriend is anorexic? She could be from what you have said. She is very underweight from the sounds of it.
If she is anorexic telling her to eat won't make her eat. Anorexics stop eating usually because of a deeper problem than just because they think they are fat.
Does Katlyn recognise that she has a problem? If she does would she consider talking to a counselor or somebody about it.
From the sounds of it you sound like a very understanding person and I would encourage you to keep supporting Katlyn through letting her know that you are there to talk to but don't push too hard as she will only talk when she is ready. I wouldn't reccommend threatening to break up with her as this may make matters worse. She is probably insecure about herself which is why she thinks she is fat, threatening to break up with her may cause her to feel more insecure.
i hope that this is of some use to you and that Katlyn is okay

I have lost 30-40lbs I have changed my life style greatly...... but I still want to lose weightand so far so good. my weight caused me to be very depressed and eventually I had to start taking medication for depression. the biggest advice I can give to someone who has a depression problem or thinks they might have needs to get help. Trust me its hard to ask for help but even harder to deal with by urself.but I hope that my story can help give teens support and just proof that losing weight isn't impossible. for all of u who may suffer from depression get help before its too late......I thought it might be too late for me, but thankfully I did get help and now I feel 100% better.

I know that I this is a personal belief but honestly the biggest help to me was god. I prayed everyday for him to help me and I still do to this day. I strongly believe that I am doing much better because of him.if u would like to talk to me about God or prayer, depression, being over weight, or ADD (which I also suffer from) write to me and I will answer ur questions. Good luck to all of u!! I'll keep u guys in my prayers. God Bless (view less)

I don't know what to do. I am 14, and 220 pounds. I am not unhealthy. I do alot of sports including Track, soccer and touch football. I am not bad, either. I am fast, I can run the 200m in about 26 seconds. But, I am always getting teased because no one believes I can. My father has physically and sexualy abused me. I have noticed that when I am forced to spend time with him, I gain weight. When I went of visitation for a few weeks, I lost 25 pounds. When I started to visit him again, I gained it all back and more. I eat healthy, I run 25-30 miles a week and I do alot of cardio and weight training. How do I lose the weight when I am forced to see him?

firstly, and im really sorry if i sound all high and mighty, but you have to tell someone about what your dad did, thats the most important thing. and the fact that you gain weight could mean heaps of things, you could be nervuos around him, i think that might be the most likely. please, i cant imagine how hard it would be to do this, but please tell a trusted adult or a teacher about what your father did to you
