Welcome to Gaia! ::

I weigh 400 lbs and I get teased constantly at school. Everyone hates me and they don't even know me.

Yesterday, the school bully that likes to pick on me said "Did you know you are too fat to live? Why don't you kill yourself?! It would do me a lot of good so that I don't have to look at your tub of lard a** everyday!"

Everyone laughed and I ran away to the bathroom crying. I didn't go to any of my classes and felt like s**t all day.

I been trying to lose weight since I was 3 years old and was teased in preschool. I remember going on a diet then. o.O

I need to know how everyone feels happy being fat. How do you go about loving yourself and having confidence??

Well... I'm not always confident in my body. There's times when I hate it, but you have to look on the better side. Stay around the people that like you for who you are. The people who base their judgement of you on your body shape are not worth your, or anyone else's, time. They are a waste of space. If they have to get their kicks by making someone else feel bad about themselves, then they are sad, sad individuals.

I know it's hard, but don't let their teasings get to you. I used to, and still do, get made fun of, too. There have been so many times where it's been so bad that I have wanted to cry right there. That's one thing you shouldn't do. Don't cry in front of them. Just give them attitude back. If you can't, then just walk away. If you feel like crying, hold it back until you're somewhere where they can't see you. If you do it in front of them, you're giving them the satisfaction of meeting their goal - To make you feel uncomfortable about yourself even if you wouldn't normally.

The way I make myself feel better about my body is to surround myself with people who look past the outside, by being me, and by doing things that I want to do.

If ya ever wanna talk, AIM/PM/ICQ/Email me... I'll always listen. ^^

part of it is hanging around the right people, kids in school can be real asses.. stare

dont let them get you down..

and as far as i see it, deiting is BS, i follow the rules of equivalent exchange as far as balancing what you eat with how much work you intend to put out, my suggestion is to keep eating the way you do, but excercise more, do something fun, crazy, like martial arts, or kendo ^^

or hockey.. twisted

i love meelee sports crying heart

besides, your way cooler than the people around you anyway as you are, your not the one telling someone to die, simply because they look different..

train your mind and your body without beating on yourself or damaging your own pride, and in relation dont let your pride get out of control, self control is an art, learn it well

*bow*

we are here for you

First off beat the crap outta that bully, dont permaneatly(sp?) injure him but smack him around so he leave you alone, and if you cant fight I s**t-kick for ya scream And dont let it get you down, Im overweight but I dont care, Im okay with myself and you should be too. If people tease you all the time then ignore them, they're pricks, and if you wanna lose weight then do what I do, its real easy, just switch to non fat milk, be more aware of what you eat and dont eat bad things (like soda, and donuts or shitty junk food) and just exercise more, not like set time in your day, just at small spur of moment times. I walk more like to the next 2 bus stops instead of the closest one. It really works. And be confident in yourself, ******** those bastards and ******** that bully, hes nothing and your something. And I seriously will beat the crap outta him for you.

scream You're stutter is SEXY damnitt!!! *huggles*


Hey hun, listen to me, You are not too fat to live, you are deserving to live. Everyone is worth a pile o gold *gold that, upon further inspection, is actually chocolate....mmm.....choccit...*. But, I know how you feel, I have ALWAYS, as far back as i can remember *and my sister tells me that i've always been* the fat kid. In Kindergarten, I didn't understand WHY i was different from the other kids. All I knew is that I was the size of the 3rd graders. All my life, I have been ridiculed. Here's my tip to you, It saved my life many times *litterally....I'm quite suicidal*

Ya just gotta let it slide off ya. Yeah, you're pissed as hell at the moment, but if you jsut try to control yourself at the time, you cool down and will realize you did the right thing. All through elementary school, I cried everyday. EVERYDAY. Kindergarten through sixth grade. That is 1,080 days. Over one thousand days of constant crying. Once I hit Junior High, I could control my tears more. I still to this day cry these hot angry tears when I just can't handle it all. There's days when I want to end it all, and just let that blade slice right through, ya know? But I have too much going for me.....*shakes head slowly* and I don't have the courage. The most I can manage is a few chunks out with the serrated bread knife. And I write the most morbid poetry imaginable. It makes everyone cry who reads it. Even guys. Not that I'm being sexist, but it usually takes a tad more umph to make the male species cry. But carrying on, you are a worthwhile human bean. Yes bean. I call people beans. If you're lucky, I let ya be a blob of refried pintos ^_^. It seems lately that life is becoming harder and harder to deal with, but you have to pull through. Because if people start giving up, then what sort of a person are we? If we give up, we show that we are weak. And the last thing that we need is weakness. Because weakness is a crack in the surface....and cracks grow. And if the crack gets too big, we fall into the crevice. And when that is allowed to happen, we are transformed into an empty shell, a mere shadow of who we used to be. We have to remain strong. For ourselves, for those we love, for those that we need to help, for those that we will help out in the future. Remember, Everyone is worth something.....Have you realized your worth yet.....?

yeah, well, after much trianing you learn to block it out. and most bullies have their own issues in one way or another, so that's why they're, well, just jerks. and for me, I'm not totally in love with myself, but I've accepted myself for me, and that's all that really matters. And another thing, my bro is 6'3 or 5 and 400, and he has the sweetest gf i've ever met. (her name's ashley) so really, it all depends on what's on the inside, not what's on the out-side. because the inside never fades, it's the opposite, and you grow more wonderful as the years grow by. whee

sad

The people who say things like that are the ones who don't deserve to live.

That made me sad.

And... I'm not happy with myself, so I dunno what else to say.

stressed scream That ******** b*****d! MY goddess's damned hell! O kill yourself?! And then the ******** everyone laughs? I am so sick of that idiocy.

Jesus I think some people diserve to be shoved in an oven for a couple days on off with a stale peice of bread and a rat. stressed

*sigh* How handling? I got teased a lot from kindergarden through middle school. I hardly had any GOOD friends... I got beat up like 3 times in the 7th grade. twice in the Once the 8th and 2 in the 6th I think.

Confidence is a hard thing to get when people around are CONSTANTLY trying to push your butt over a bridge. I hardly get respect NOW that I actually have really trustworthy friends and a good repuation among closer peers. The more intelligent ones atleast. stressed

*sigh* I just used to try to be funny... still DO try. It gave me some optimism... people looked at me... people joined with me.

Try to find someway to entertain others. Smart remarks... Odd jokes having to do with a situation... skill with a bit of more uniqe magic. Or an Off Topic major intrest and good knowledge with it... such as Nazis! Or communism.,...

I didn't gain much self confidence until I got a reputation...

But first I suppost when being attacked by such a b*****d one must hold up. Compare him to a lesser known Nazi General or Confederate failier. Perhaps a snappy comeback? Your so ugly you made steven hawking try to take out a note pad to take notes.

Hu... so I guess this would be the order.

1. Find a way to stand up for yourself in such an awful situation.
2. Build a reputation off intrests or skills. Heh. Occationally show off perhaps? Be charismatic! Friendly.
3.Go with it.

I knew a kid who was always amde fun of in elementary and most of middle... quite similar to your case actually... more overweight than many others. But he is very intelligent! Reads all the time. Ha He is my friend now and he is halarious. Great comebacks in arguements/debates and adds on just the greatest touch for pondering theoretical sitautions.
