When u grow up as being known as "the fat kid" it's not very nice.. i notice if ur fat ur always picked on or teased even though u try to hide ur feelings it still hurts u. Even if u don't have sum friends u tehy way ppl look at u they just go "ew" or "whoa she's/he's so fat". No matter wut ppl pick on the fat kid. why? not like they are gonna hurt u cause they think thier so powerful. The thign is.. "chubby" ppl dun need ppl to keep telling them thier over weight. they know.

your thoughts?

Kids are always pretty cruel to each other about physical appearances. The same things you mention about "fat kids" also apply to "short kids" and probably many other different groups of kids in school ("dumb kids", etc.). It makes no sense why kids do it, but they do it anyway; eventually, most seem to grow out of it.

people try to make the overweight kid feel bad. Everytime you hear you're fat you feel more worse about yourself and it's sorta of a reminder to lose the fat so you can stop hearing those annoying bitches yell you the same thing over and over

wow; Strongs words. but its sometiems different over here in New york. Some chubby people are actually popular. And they shouldnt be saying these things about the "chubby" people cause look at some of hte famous people. Fat Joe, Rubben Studdard, That lady that plays in The parkers.

Hah when I was little I was so chubby. It was adorable. I was just soooo... ROUND. But fat babies are healthy and cute, so no worries.

people do that because that's what insecure people do. they pick out something they don't like about you and laugh at you so they can make themselves look better.

i don't understand ppl like that at all! i mean, who cares if they're overweight or not? it's not like they're any worse of a person for it. and you can still be overweight and look good too... really my friend is overweight and she's still so pretty

unless they become fat because its heredity, then its the kids fault. they shouldnt be eatin all those cheeseburgers. If they become fat because a mcdonalds addiction or something, then they brought it to themselves.

BUT if its because of genes or something, then i think its really mean to make fun of them...unless they are mean people themselves to begin with.

people are just stupid. they make fun of others for attention and satisfaction. im sure if you looked at them back in kindergarten, they werent the most appealing looking people either. im sure their hair was all knotted, their clothes never matched, and they couldnt afford a decent pair of shoes. now that they have fixed all that, they get the satisfaction of making fun of other kids the way they were made fun of, kinda like payback.

just cuz im fat
well thx for makin a topic bout this

yes...it's true...i was kind of chubby in 3rd/4th grade. lol...but i wasnt made fun of too often. from my experience chubby kids are just an easy target. (usually) no one wants to be fat so they know that that is your weakness right there. it's harder to pick on thinner people because so many want to be thin...so they have to find other "problems" or "weaknesses" of that person. basically anyone with obvious 'imperfection' is more likely to be made fun of. it's sad, but true.

personally even though i was only chubby for a little while & i only had a few comments i still feel self-concious about my weight. i'm now 5'7" and 122 pounds and sometimes i still feel bad about my weight and stuff...i dunno it's just really psychologically damaging to be made fun of for weight because it's such a touchy issue these days.

I was, and still am the fat kid.

merde.

No matter what sometimes people still judge you for the way you look even if they know they aren't supposed to. Alot of people at my school will think a person is fat but won't pick on them. I think it's wrong to say someones fat because saying someones fat doesnt make them any thinner.

People normally don't call others 'fat' in front of their face. That's probably the most rude thing to say to someone because I'm sure they don't want to be fat either. Leave the pour souls alone. Kids will grow out of this kind of stereotyping and such eventually.

Yes, I can tell. I can see some trying their best to keep in shape.

I always wondered that. Why do ugly, fat, short, tall and other people different from other people. Like they need to be reminded of the thing that lowers their self esteem

I know I was picked on sometimes. They thought I was weird because my mom had an accent.

The peer pressure is contributing to anorexia.

obviously it's not working because the majority of americans are overweight.

sorry. that was mean of me.

Growing up all kids get picked on for something, whether it be because of their weight or whatever. But yeah I hate seeing people make mean remarks about fat people especially kids. Some people are born that way and cant help being big. But then again being fat also causes many health problems. So if someone who was overweight really cared abouth themselves they should try to bring themselves down to a healthier size. So maybe the teasing might actually motivate people to lose weight (you never know). Which is a good thing.

you can't prevent that... it'll always happen... what you can do:
1. Ignore them
2. Fight back
3. Lose weight.

Whoa. I barely understood that whole paragraph. But okay.

But I agree with the dude above me.
Don't just let the stupid kids walk all over you.

i know the feeling :( *WAH* but i got a hot man + most hot,thin girls don't have so HA! i laugh in your face biotches!!!!! muahahahhaahha :D



whew*

Everybody that wrote something here says that picking on fat kids is wrong is some way some how but yet im sureEVERY single one of you has done it in ur life at least once... yea i used to be kinda chubby in what 6h grade? yea i got made fun of and things but not ne more its so dumb y ppl pick on fat kids...

that's the worst...being made fun of because of your parents


i think that's due to stress. america is a country that's dying (literally) to be thin and some people can't hack it and over eat their comfort food.

no one is really dying to gain weight anymore...well except in sports to bulk up but otherwise, no.



i've never made fun of someone because they were fat. i used to be the chubby kid and my best friend had weight issues back in the day so i know how much it sucks to be harassed because you're not a twig.
