just dont comment anything and be nice to her, shes probably aware of it, and she might not even be sad. so if she wants to lose weight she will and if she doesnt shes happy, so just dont say anything.

next time some one says something mean stand up and talk back. I have a temper I know but having law and business in my blood really does nicely when I want to get a point through. No one and mean no one deserves to be made fun of. The kids who make fun of her really have no lives and should start looking for new interests, cuz seriously how miserable are they if they can't think of a interesting topic? Anyways try and make friends with her, and after a while mention how you want to start a weight loss program and say you really want a friend to workout with. DOn't ever come right out and say "you might want to lose weight" cuz no matter how good the intention talking about another girl's weight is a big nono!! Anyways come up with a plan where you can form a diet and exercise plan with her and soon enough the weight will melt away because having a friend is so much easier than working alone. good luck
