Bullies Target Obese Kids on Yahoo! Health
Wow. I grew up a large kid. I wasn't horribly obese, but I was always big for my age. I grew out of it later, but still. This is kind of one of those *no shi*t sherlock" articles. I love the quote: "What we found, much to our dismay, was that nothing seemed to matter. If you were obese, you were more likely to be bullied, no matter what,"

and that's the sad irony of it all...
overweight kids outweigh their playground fellows, and at that age, it's not about being light & nimble to win a fight, it's about who's bigger, and has more weight behind them with a proper punch. so my call to fat people; learn to punch, not like a sissy, than rise up and take over the world. one supersized fist at a time.

WOW!!! Raistlin F'N'! Rules... Rock the hell on to see him in a post.
As to the actual thread... I was always a skinny kid and was made fun of for that, so I don't think size matters ( as far as bullies go...lol) it's just A-holes vs. everyone else, we'll all be bullied and made-fun-of it's our job to rise above it. I wen't from being a "nerd" to being the "goth" guy that everyone cleared the halls for. I even had a "jock" defend me once when I wore a Trench-coat to school because it'd always been my style and no one cared untill Columbine then they started shit and he decided not to let it continue. |

They really needed to do a study to find this out?!?!
I can save them some time: Kids will make fun of anybody who: 1. has a unusual name 2. has a large nose, ears that stick out... 3. is really short 4. is really tall 5. is a slow runner 6. has a big head 7. is really smart 8. is not so smart etc. etc. etc. Kids notice ANY differences between themselves. Its even part of how we learn. Remember that song? "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things does not belong" Kids, and many adults just don't know that people shouldn't be made fun of for their differences. Its natural to notice somebody that is unusaly tall, short, overwieght, skinny, missing a limb etc. The mature thing is to not make fun of people because of their differences.
