Problems with my body shape!

I'm being bullied at school for being a bit bigger than I should be. I'm getting called a cow, walrus, elefant... And it hurts. I tried to do a diet and go to the gym every week but the fat just won't go away... Any suggestions on how I can loose a few pounds? (doesn't have to be fast just loose some weight!)

Bigger than you should be? Unless your health is in danger, there isn't a 'should be'. If you lost weight the bullies would choose something else to make fun of you for. That's what they do. You will never be good enough for them and you shouldn't try. Ypu should try only to be good enough for yourself, and you should not let your idea of what is good enough for you be tainted by how others feel you should look. There are a few different reasons why people bully, and none of them excuse it, but at the core of every reason is something being wrong with them, nothing is wrong with you. That being said, it doesn't change the fact that bullying hurts. A lot. And bullying because of weight can be very damaging to a person's self esteem. I don't know how to tell you to react to it. If there was a perfect solution bullying wouldn't be a problem. But I can tell you that one: you are most likely going to grow into your body, and two: Some of THE most beautiful women I can think of are curvy. Beyonce, Tyra, all of the Kardashians, Christina Aguilera, and my little sister. I'm smaller. She is a curvy girl. And she is bullied for it. But she owns it, and she outshines me in every way. Curvy bodies are gorgeous!

I'm glad. I had really hoped so. You're gorgeous. You should never let anyone convince you otherwise. They aren't worth it.
