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.

Sorry to hear people call you names. For some people picking on others makes them feel better, still not easy to take. Do things to make yourself feel better, walking, yoga, whatever and as you feel better, they won't maatter as much
Good Luck and forget about the others

I wanna lose weight cause I'm 195, and that's just not shibby because of health problems I'm at risk for and such. I'm trying hard and stuff, and I looked through the site and wanna express my concerns for a lot of you. Many of you say you wanna lose weight so you aren't teased, you wanna attract a person, ect...and I just wanna say one thing:
Forget all that.
Why try and be accepted by a bunch of idiots who don't like you merely because of weight? If they're that shallow, would you really want them as friends? So you like a guy and he doesn't like you back cause of yer weight? Then forget about them, they're definitely not worth it. People who care more about looks then personality are usually boring anyway. I know how those of you who are losing weight for others feel. I was tortured through out elementry, teased, called fat, ect... It hurts. A lot. BUT, only now have ... (view more)

Hey listen don't worry about him. He is just insecure. So he teases you so that he feels better about himself. So you know what just ignore him and he'll go away. And in the end you'll be the better person. :)

hi i am in eight grade and for the last three years i have been gaining weight like crazy. i don't eat that much so i don't know what is wrong. i can relate to how peopel make fun of you. i am also the fat girl but even though people make fun of you it isn't because they don't like you it is because they have things wrong with them too, so if the attention is pulled off them people won't make fun of them. it is not our fault people are cruel most kids are brought up that way. you just have to be the bigger person and walk away. eventually when you and i have grown up and have a really good life, we are going to go to our ten year high school reunion and see all those people who never made anything successful in their lives and we just have to look past the bad things and be nice to them because no matter what, being nice to other people just shows that you don't care about what they...

(Typed by mom) "my sister is real skinny and she calls me fat and other names that make me feel bad. I tried calling her names back but that made me feel bad too and it didn't bother her at all. I tried to just walk away and tell my mom or dad that she did that and how it made me feel. They always try to tell me that I'm a great kid and that people come in all different sizes. At first that didn't make me feel better, but then when I looked around in school, it was right. There were kids all different sizes. Now when my skinny sister calls me fat, I just ignor her and I tell myself that I am a great kid and people come in alkl different sizes. Look around. They really do.

I used to be called names too before.I'm nice to others
so they don't call me names anymore like SantaClause.
If that doesn't work walk away and tell a parent.
