Reply from anne, Age 16 - 01/16/04 - IP#: 216.66.108.xxx well- i was just comparing it to my school where one of the most obese people is also the most popular and the most looked down upon is an anorexic scumbag. i guess my school(though i doubt it's too much different- but then again i've never been outside of the vermont school district) looks more at personalities. i was just trying to help- it wasn't meant to make you feel bad. the only reason i said it was because when i didn't have a lot of friends a while ago i saw that it wasn't what i looked like but how i reacted to the first people who had picked on me. now i am a lot more comfortable with myself because i've found what i don't like about myself(mentally- not physically) and have worked out a lot and almost all of the people a school that i know like me. but i guess you are in a different situation. sorry.
Reply from Katie, Age 17 - 01/15/04 - IP#: 195.93.33.xxx When I was at school I didnt have many friends and that WAS in a way to do with my weight. If u are quite fat some people dont spend time getting to know you and that sucks - but to be honest u dont want mates like that. Also I lacked confidence because of my weight and that didn't help either. Luckily I had my best friend - who I made friends with on my first day of secondry school, and we are still close now even though I left the school nearly 3 years ago. This year I am at 6th form college and I gotta say how better things are, because I am with the same 17 people then we really get to know each other and no one cares how fat I am - im just me! I know me telling you this doesn't really help - but just to let u no, i was where u were, I spent so many nights crying myself to sleep... Being thinner wont make u popular - people just need to realize that fat people are people to and just cuz were bigger doesnt mean theres anything wrong with us!! - and honestly it gets better!

Reply from anne, Age 16 - 01/15/04 - IP#: 216.66.108.xxx just to look at this realistically- is it just your weight that's causing you to have no friends or is it reactions to things or the fact that you don't put yourself out to have friends?
Reply from steph, Age 16 - 01/15/04 - IP#: 152.163.252.xxx well i have friends but not the one's i talk to everyday all day long, you know what i mean? i spend my lunch in the library doing homework but that's fine with me cause i don't have to do it at home. plus if they don't like your for who you are your better off without them. good luck with you diet!
