Ignore them, but don't expect them to stop - I've tried that many times and it doesn't usually work. You just have to be sure of yourself enough to know that you are better than what they say and how they label you. Have self - confidence!! *Ray*Ray*

Hey Steph I want to tel you do not ever kill yourself nothing is worth your life kids can be really mean I know. people would make fun of me too. I did something about it I exercized and ate smaller portions. snack on fruits and veggies instead of chips do not have to much though and have 3 balanced meals a day go walking or bike riding for 30 minutes a day every day and do 20 or more sit ups a day also cut down on sweets. Be sure to have some kind of motivation to keep you going. give it a month please and you will have lost a few pounds then keep going until you reach your goal people will notice. What ever you do do not ever kill yourself NOTHING IS WORTH YOUR LIFE.

Sorry to hear people call you names. For some people picking on others makes them feel better, still not easy to take. Do things to make yourself feel better, walking, yoga, whatever and as you feel better, they won't maatter as much
Good Luck and forget about the others

Hey listen don't worry about him. He is just insecure. So he teases you so that he feels better about himself. So you know what just ignore him and he'll go away. And in the end you'll be the better person. :)

John, I know how it feels to be afraid to go outside because you think ppl will tease you. but I got over that and just said to myself im doing this for me not for them for me. but if you still dont feel motovated to walk outside bring the walking to you. do you have a treadmill? You dont? then borrow one from somebody!!! ; - ) ( ps i let food get me in big trouble dont get that obsessed)

Don't listen to em'. Tell them when they make fun of you. At least I am not the one who needs and attiude ajustment. It will make them soo mad and they will not bother you. And if they do just ignore em'.
