tell your gym teacher your not comfortable being weighed in frount of the class and if that doesnt work ask 1 of your parents to talk to the gym teacher

It is really inappropriate that they weigh you in front of everyone else. they should know this and if it doesn't stop, i suggest you tell your gym teacher that you would like to be weighed in private. good luck.

You're friends already are aware of your weight. If you are still uncomfortable, tell your gym teacher ahead of time that you'd like to be weighed in private. I'm and definate they will let you, as long as you listen to what they say, take their advice, and make healthy progress with your weight!

Just try to cut back on some of the more junk food, and start exercising a bit more, and dont worry about your friends they shouldnt mind, and those people that laugh at you dont worry about it many people get laughed at, and i am sure u are a really kind person and i bet u have lots of friends. If u want to talk email me at wildernes@seeqmail.com
