I thought the same thing going into middle school, and i am now reaching the end of it. What i learned is that, yea, people can be VERY mean, but that's how kids are nowadays, to keep people making fun of them, they make fun of other people. If you try to be friendly, get a new attitude, like yourself, you could be very popular, because in my school, their ARE a couple of big kids that are popular, and they are soo friendly that they make friends with other people to make them popular too. Just think about that, no matter where you go, you will always make friends if you try. If you need something else, e-mail me at Starr110288@aol.com

Hey, do you do any activities? like swim or any sports? if you ride your bike and rollerblade thatll help. ive learned that last year im still overweight but by doing more activities you can help it. and instead of drinkin soda although they are coming out with some good one you should drink water. and if you go out to eat a lot go to the salad bars first and then eat a lite meal then for desert rather than ice cream or somethin get fruit. see i eat when i am deprssed and that happpens a lot and my weight varies a lot. and my aunt and i were talking and she said instead of going to the munchies go for a walk or sleep a little and thats helped to. well i hope this helps you ~samantha~

Boy do I know how you feel, I was a size 14 once. Trust me though, you won't be a social loser as long as you show confidence and be friendly and outgoing. That may be hard when you are worrying about your weight, but you gotta try! Eat low-cal foods and exercise, youve probably heard it before.
