I'm always laughed at!?

Question

I've been overweight since 3rd grade

and now an upcoming freshman

and i've finally decided this summer to do something about it

I've lost 25 pounds so far, and getting smaller and smaller

but when i run track outside alone, older highschool boys/girls laugh hysterically (sp?) at me and yell "FATTYYY" or "COW"

and i just all of a sudden run away and go inside the bathroom for like 20 mins till they go away.

also, I'm being teased cuz I'm a straight A student, which people say I'm not cool and a boring nerd that hangs with her family ALL the time & has no friends.

I don't wanna keep this going in highschool

what should i do =[

Answer 1

I think you are doing the right thing.

You are living for yourself. All those people are considerably ignorant and you should completely ignore them. By hiding from them you are giving them power over you, and no one should have that power except for you.

One day, you look and feel how you want to and all the boys will be fawning for you.

Don't let those horrible people discourage you from becoming a stronger person who looks the way she wants to.

Good luck hon, and keep up the good work.

Answer 2

work out and excercise

Answer 3

ur a straight A student and you worry about people making fun of you? who cares, back in high schooll kids made fun of me all the time. The same people that made fun of me i see have no life now and are struggling. I'm on my way starting my own business which will make a lot of money.Who'ss laughing now?  keep in mind to do good in high school. Find couple friends just like yourself and that's it. keep hanging out with them and ignore the mean ones. If you think they are way too much for you, get their names and go tell the dean to suspend them.  

Answer 4

OMGG congradulations on that wieght loss!!!! :D

wow they are soo fuckn mean, what a******s! and that is soo god d**n immature! please don't let that stop you from doing what YOU'RE doing. and where are the people who are suppose to be watching you!? barely in high school... i think i would try confronting them, don't let them know that it bothers you or that you're scared of them. go up to them and confront them.. if that doesn't work then tell someone in charge, i mean that shouldn't be an issue --it's none of their buisness to go out of their way to be a ***** you know.

SCREWWW themm!! :D that is great that you're a straight A student. i swear you're on a great path. you're loosing wieght and you're a straight A student... do you know what that equals?? A GREATTT COLLEGE LIFE!!! and that equals A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE than those loosers :D

i don't see why you don't have any friends.. hmm.. i mean you should go out and try because trust me yeah there are jerks but there are also always good people ready to be there for you okayy :)

and that's cool that you're good with your family because they are the only ones on this earth that will always be there for you no matter what

don't let people judge you and bring you down like that, you're doing fabulous!! :D oh and remember that there are so many people who just don't like successful people aka you

Answer 6

Girl, you don't need a new school, that won't change anything. Every high school is the same in this regard, although my boyfriend might disagree, my girlfriend would agree. You are going to have to face the music. But don't fear, this will prepare you for life better as well.

I can feel your pain. I never had your weight issue, but instead a speech impediment. I too, carried the grades you did. I have since graduated as my class valedictorian with a 3.933 of 4.00 gpa.

The first thing you have to do I love your self, if you can't do that, they'll continue to harass you.

Now, look at your life, you must have family that cares about you, and a friend, no matter how little you know them, who you can spend time with without feeling uncomfortable. That is proof that you don't deserve them to treat you like they do.

But, you're probably smarter that all those kids who laugh at you. You probably don't study as much as they do for tests. Your family is probably much healthier than theirs. Now if you were in their place, wouldn't you be a little jealous too. Now realize that these aren't mature individuals we're discussing, they're high school freshman, going through puberty, and very unsure about themselves and life. They don't know how to handle their emotions, jealousy included. Instead of trying to improve their own life, they're lazy, and bring you down instead, and to them, that's all it "should" take. But's it's not, and they're still jealous of how sure you are about life. This was wisdom my father gave me.

As for fixing the problem, there's nothing you can do to make them stop, yet. They have to come to terms on it by themselves. You however, CAN help your self feel better. Write yourself goals, and when you achieve them, celebrate with a new shirt or a outing to the theater. Continue trying to lose that weight, but do it health consciously. Recognize YOUR ideal weight, not a supermodel's.

Finally, Get Involved. School or community. This is for 3 reasons. The first is that it will help you feel better about yourself. 2nd, you may make some friends in the process. 3rd, those jerks will realize that they might not have as much effect on you as they thought they did.

Whatever you do, do not, and i repeat DO NOT respond to their teasing and harrassment directly. That's what they want, and when they see that it gets a response from you, that makes them happy, and it'll continue. It'll be hard, and hurt, and be really REALLY slow going, but eventually they'll give up.

And don't hold this in. You need someone to help you with this. Parents are ok, since they love you, but they overact. A friend is better, as they know your "enemies" and can be there when you need them.

Just believe in yourself.

Answer 7

I figure if someone picks on you that they are doing so to hide their own imperfections.

My brother always got picked on in school because he wasn't as smart as everyone else.  He isn't book smart, I'll admit that.  But he is an artist in his own way.  He can draw and make things - heck he has more artistic talent in his little finger than I have in my whole body.  I would give anything for even a small amount of his talent.  And its funny because I've faded into the background, while he has become one of the most popular and recognized guys in town.  People may not know his name, but they know him in other ways by the things he does and who he is.

I think it is great that you've lost the 25 pounds!  Keep up the good work.  Just remember you are better than the bullies!  Don't let them get you down!!!

Answer 8

Don't worry about it hun. What other stupid people think doesn't really matter. . .

And when someone says something about your weight, maybe they are jealous because you can lose weight and they can't.

And friends? When you get out of high school, that won't matter much anyway. Just PLEASE keep your grades up, and don't worry about being a "nerd". I'm in middle school now, make straight As and get the same exact treatment. I have friends, but most are boys. I can't trust many girls lol

But i wish you luck, if you ever need anything, I'll be there ;-) Just an email away!  

Answer 9

Good for you for doing something good for your health  :)  I am sorry you have the 'mean girls' acting like a**holes to you.  If you keep working on your weight and just ignore the bratty people the best you can, in time things should brighten up.  If you are able to join track or some other sport, do that.  In time, when the other students see you as part of their groups in more ways, they tend to tease less.  There is also the fact that your coaches should step up and tell the girls that are acting out to stop.  I have a lot of respect for you for working to correct your weight.  Eventually, it will make a big difference in your life all around  :)
