Reply from Juliette, Age 17 - 06/21/10 - IP#: 99.237.131.xxx Man, if there was a kid half my height pissing me off, i'd throw him out the window! Your story was really touching. It's hard enough trying to lose weight by self-motivation, i can't even imagine how much worse it is with stupid, immature kids bothering you all the time. I'd tell him to get a life. But really, don't even bother thinking back to him and the events of the past year, and feeing sad. it's not worth it. That piece of crap student isn't worth your tears or your anger. Just carry on, support yourself and sooner or later you'll prove yourself through what you have achieved. A marathon is remarkable. Again, today i WALKED home (for like 1 hour) and felt like a hero =P I can't even miagine running a marathon! That takes a lot of skill and motivation. Don't worry, you have two years! You'll do great! Your midget of a classmate probably couldn't run that distance in ten years. Try to block out all the negative people, and just focus on those who really help you. And always support yourself, even on days where you feel like you almost hate being you. I think taht's very important. All the best to you! x0 ~ Juliette
