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!!!!!!!!
Reply from Kay, Age 12 - 02/17/04 - IP#: 68.230.141.xxx I know how you feel. I didn't feel all that bad when me and my friends were all in the average but then they got skinny and I got heavier. Luckily my friends have been helping me. Its true no matter where you go. People judge you for how you are on the outside. My friend Justin was underweight and he was made fun of too. All you have to do is work on geting yourself thin not because of how you look but because of health. Justin may be scrawny but he is the fastest runner in the town. He has a weird diet but thats ok. You should get skinnier for health issues not to get your friends to like you. P.S. On Justins case in case anyone is wondering Justin is 20 pounds underweight and we're helping him eat more. Beleive me him gaining weight is harder than you loosing it. I mean come on all the boy eats is bagels and peanut butter and he runs 24 7. I mean we had to force feed him a hamburger one time because he hadn't eaten meat in a week. OMG I'm rambelling on. Sorry

I'd tell them to lay off and screw them!...but thats just me i'm a strong willed person and trust me it gets you far and makes you feel better and those ####### lozers feel worse.p.s you dont sound that chubby a roll or two is nothing. How much do you weigh anyway? How much do your friends weigh and how tall are they?

Reply from Maria, Age 16 - 02/15/04 - IP#: 142.166.202.xxx 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.
