Talking directly to them would be helpful if you think they are the kinds who listen, but if there aren't give them reasons to talk about your talents and your great academics/work.

You can own the fact that your body is your own. Ignore those words, their just jealous of your beautiful body.

Tell someone, or confronting the people who are making fun of you. Sometimes asking them why they are making fun of you will get them to stop and think about their actions.

You can’t change what people say, some people say things and don’t realise how much they hurt. It is best to forget what they say and only do what’s hest for you. Never change yourself FOR someone else. Only do it if yu are comfortable and happy to, t o get over people calling you names just accept yourself and be confident so whatever they say doesn’t change your mind on yourself! (:

Show them that you're confident in being who you are. You might feel insecure about your weight but there is no need to be. As soon as you show how confident and strong you are, they will realize that their words and actions can't affect you in the way they want to and most of the time they will stop, it's not fun for them anymore. Just try to be happy with the way you look, try to love yourself as much as possible and you will improve the way you come across to others, people like to make fun of people who seem insecure as they seem like an easy target, but once you stop caring they will get bored of it.

The best way that will make people stop weight bullying is to own it. Show them that it does not bother you. I have a friend who is proud of being a bigger girl. She is quick to let people know too and after she confidently shows them that it doesn't bother her, they are typically embarrassed and back off. When we let people know that we are being bothered by what they are saying, they will continue to do it. It is unfortunate and it is not a good quality in people when they bully.

Unfortunately, you can't control what other people say or do. You have to remember that the only person you can control, and their own actions are those of your own and your own only. You can stand up for yourself and politely let the person know that you don't appreciate the comments that the person is saying, which hopefully will help them to realize that what they are saying is not okay. Please remember that you don't have to change for anyone and just be who you are. Please be proud of who you are, you are a wonderful person!
