Hey you, don't think that way. Yeah it's tough being overweight but that's not worth your life. Whenever you think about killing yourself again, think about the people that you're leaving behind. That always works for me. Yes, I have also thought of killing my self as well, and thinking about my loved ones always stops me from doing so. If you can't talk to your parents then talk to a close friend about your rpoblems, or use the online chat on this website. About the people that tease at school they're stupid, dumb, and don't have anything else better to do then to make fun of somebody that they know won't fight back. I remember my fifth grade year, when a group of boys were teasing me about the way i looked. Then my gym teacher came out and heared everything they said, and you know what he said? he said, "Don't you fellas have anything else better to do?" "You know, if i were you, i...

"You know, if i were you, i wouldn't be making fun of this kid" Then on of the boys said, "Why?" in response he said, "Because if you get in a fight with somebody twice you size, wouldn't you want a person like him on your side?" All in all, don't take yourself for granted. As long as we're on the subject, why did you drop out of school because of your weight? I'm sorry but that's the most dumbest excuse that I've ever heared. The only reason people drop out of school is if they're pregnant, or got somebody pregnant. Other than that, you have no real excuse to have dropped out. I live in Anchorage, Alaska and my current weight is 400 pounds. I'm in the nineth grade and lovin it. I have wonderful friends that i know will never do anything to hurt me. If you have those kind of friends, go n hang out with them. Do something or go somewhere to get your mind off things. If you have an outdoor porch, go out on it at night n just look up at the stars and wonder. (view less)

Ignore them, but don't expect them to stop - I've tried that many times and it doesn't usually work. You just have to be sure of yourself enough to know that you are better than what they say and how they label you. Have self - confidence!! *Ray*Ray*

I have always known I am a little chubby but now I am FAT!!!I gained weight a lot and i hate it. At my friends house my 3 friends were getting weighed and i was so scared about it coming to my turn becase i am so much fatter than they are. then my friend Jennifer said dont let Luisa get on the scale she will break it. then she said you realy need to go on a diet you are getting fatter and she said her mom had said I am getting realy fat. Then they all laughed. My face went red and i felt like crying so i phoned my mom and she came to bring me home.when i told my mom what happened she said i have gained weight and she has noticed the rolls around my tummy. I feel discusting and i dont know what to do!!!!!!!!

Hey sweetie...
dont worry about what your friends say. That isn't right. You arn't getting enough support from your friends who are your biggest critics. You should be happy with who you are (and I know that may be tuff to do when you feel uncomfortable). Trust me, negative feedback from friends and family are some of the hardest things to take in..especially at such a young age. Talk to your mom and tell her that you want to get help, you don't want to be made fun of or told what you already know.

Hey yall, I've just been thinking, and I relized something, I am happy that overtime, my body grew, and I became FAT. I know this sounds crazy but just read on. If I would have been given a perfect body, than I would not have had respected it, and I would have taken it for granted, and just teased other people who were not given such nice bodies. But since God gave me the body that I have, I have to work, to make it smaller, and shaplier. This way, when I do loose the weight, I will appreciate my body, nurishe it, and really take care of it. I will know the pain of being overweight, and not tease people who are batteling the buldge. I will be consious of the fact that I was once dealing with their same hardships, and will be able to support them during their time of need, instead of teasing them and making it worse.

Oh yea, and i was looking into gym's and such, trying to find an affordable one that I would feel comfortable working out in, and I really think you guys should check out curves. I mean it has an excellent track record, and when I read the succes stories, they literally blew me away. I mean, these women, that were on the site, had all lost over 100 lbs, and keep in mind that they are not as young as we are, I mean, we are almost in our prime, which means we would have much more energy than them, and possible be able to loose weight faster. Just lettin yall know, you should check it out! (view less)

hi Leah! I know how you feel about being 130 pounds and teased by your family! Cuz I used to be in the same situation. But I lost 15 pounds and dont get teased no more, so I'm much happier! All ya gotta do is try to stay AWAY from the junk food. ASk ur mom and dad to stop buying them. Specially soda,chips,ice cream etc. I know it's delectable but you gotta stay away if you want to lose weight! remember that. And definatley exercise! I use one of those home bicycles. It helped me a lot. Just 10-20 mins a day you can lose about 500 calories! Its great. Well Good Luck! -dee

I know what you are talking abou; kids can be so mean. I was always fine about my body (actually I never thought about it, because it was just me) but then when I entered middle school people made fun of me and I felt really depressed. I lost abunch of weight between 8th and 9th grade before highschool so I don't know if thats why or what but I like Highschool a lot better. Just remember when kids make fun of you its because they have a problem, if they were self-confident they wouldn't feel the need to put others down so in other words they feel bad about themselves too. It might be apperance (you'd be suprised at how thin someone can be and still feel fat)or it could be their parents are mean to them or something like that. Just hang in there and you can do it!

Kid you just need to take it slow. Eat right. Ignore everyone who calls you names and so on. Just start walking everyday for about ten minutes. The next week do twenty. Add ten minutes a week. You cant eat junk food or it wont help. Soon after your work out builds up you will be able to start running. If ten minutes a week is to much just go to five. Until you able to work out for an hour a day. I did it and now i wiegh one 25 and im still doing it. I used to wiegh two fifty. Kid you can do it. You just have to do it for yourself and not others. You just tell that you have a really good looking girl on your side to those kids. Their just acting like a bunch of imature babies. I know how it feels to be teased. Now i look back on all of those kids and laugh. Hopefully they will have enough sense to grow up. Just laugh with them and maybe they will stop. Dont joke about yourself just laugh becouse in your heart you know your going to look good. I believe you can do it.

Hey Steph I want to tel you do not ever kill yourself nothing is worth your life kids can be really mean I know. people would make fun of me too. I did something about it I exercized and ate smaller portions. snack on fruits and veggies instead of chips do not have to much though and have 3 balanced meals a day go walking or bike riding for 30 minutes a day every day and do 20 or more sit ups a day also cut down on sweets. Be sure to have some kind of motivation to keep you going. give it a month please and you will have lost a few pounds then keep going until you reach your goal people will notice. What ever you do do not ever kill yourself NOTHING IS WORTH YOUR LIFE.
