Hi Ysatis. I am a parent of an overweight child. My daughter is 11 years old and 150 lbs. Although overweight I do not believe seriously. I am posting this reply because I have much sympathy for the way you are made fun of at school. It is Cruel however we all have no control over the fact that they are doing it. You and you alone however control how you react to it. When others make fun of you, if you try to make a joke out of it. This is what embarrases them. My daughter had someone at her school ask her, "Hey, when did you miss your last meal?" She answered that by saying, "Not so very long ago. I missed many meals trying to lose this weight." The fellow student didn't speak to her for a few days and later apologized to her for it and they were good friends afterwards.

okay girl this is what you do you play out side and run aroud maybe if you have some weights or a exersize machine use it or ask your mom if she will take you to the gym or but remember eat healthy and every time you pick up a chocolate bar think and say i want to lose weight not gain it.
