the emotional abuse againts overweight teenagers

Frownit is unbearable to think of the way overweight teenagers are treated in high schools today. why should a overweight girl be treated any different from the slim girl. people are so discriminative againts something so trivial as the weight of someone.

Victim mentality will get you nowhere in life. Everyone is treated differently. If we were all treated the same there would be emotional abuse because we are not treated differently.

they should figure out that being a fat-ass does not make them special, they should deal with it, everyone is made fun of for something, change or grow a pair!

Side: No

i do not know what it is like at other high schools, but at mine it is pretty good to everyone. sure there is always that banter between students, but everyone is wary about crossing a line and apoligize when they do so.

it is the teenager's fault(who is overweight). they should take care of themselves and keep in shape. not that sometimes it is heredity that leads to fat features, but surely, heredity doesn't make anyone so fat!!!

although in my school they don't really tease the fatties to death. so I don't see much problem in that.

yes definitely...it depends upon the surroundings and circumstances...and the fatties can just work out and lose their weight...simple...

From personal experience, yeah it was hurtful when I got teased for being fat. Usually because it was behind my back. But, on the plus side, I worked really hard to develop my own talents in a kind of 'screw you' gesture to the kids who teased me. I graduated in the top 15% of my class and had already won several local awards for both art and writing.

for sure, it really is. you can hear about this kind of emotional abuse everywhere. teenager moment is the most dangerous moment in someone's life since the public opinion about you will be matter the most, and in my own experience, I've been teased so badly by people around me because of my kilos. you'll never know how much it hurts. then i force my self to have a diet program. i succeed. i lost 20 kilos in a year. but my health is the cost i have to pay. and know i feel like the physical appearance is something that matter the most. it is not rare that i feel like I've lost my self respect. and it makes me feel like a total sinner. trust me

From personal experience...it's terrible. FYI to people that contribute to this emotional abuse...if your criticisms helped people lose weight, America would definitely not be as fat as it is today.

Side: yes

There is no doubt that some teens are ridiculed about their weight by some mean classmates in school. This humiliation must end.

Side: yes
