I was so thrilled to be invited to anything at all considering my appearance.However,I found myself bullied in public,even by my closest“friend”.One day in seventh grade,an older boy called me“fat boy”the whole way home on the bus.As I waited for my stop,hiding in my seat,embarrassed and afraid I might cry,I hoped that my best friend,seated right behind me,would jump up to my defense.Instead,he jumped up and laughed at me as well,having obviously decided that being friends with the other,older,thinner boy would do more for him socially.And since I had made it clear to my friends that I wouldn’t take it too seriously if they laughed at me,he didn’t really care about losing my friendship at all.
And then I grew up.I placed limits on how others could treat me.I lost some weight,but was still heavy.However,I no longer allowed anyone to think I was less than them.Suddenly,my sense of humor and kindness made me one of the most popular kids in school.
Being fat isn’t a crime,and it doesn’t make you unlovely. But you can’t make anyone think more of you,or treat you the way you deserve,until you think more of yourself and treat yourself with the respect you hope for from other people.
