I think people will always find more excuses to bully people no matter what size or color they are.
They don't care really, if they did they pick on nobody

There will always be someone who will put you down. The thing is, you should not let that person get to you. Be yourself. Surround yourself with people who love you.

No, bullies will be bullies. They'll bully you no matter what. Just know that you're beautiful no matter what anyone says.

Hey mate! The truth behind bullying is that you are not bullied for your physical characteristics. They may specifically pick on you for these reasons, but if you were to change, I can guarantee to you that it will not stop. They will simply find something else. Bullies take advantage of your state of mind, rather than your physical appearance. The most important thing is that you yourself accept your being, and are comfortable with the life you lead. And so, for this reason, id advise doing one of two things. You can either simply let go of the care you hold for others- people will always be there to pull you down- you just need to ensure you take no notice of them. As long as you are truly at peace with yourself, nothing anyone else can say or do will affect you. If they want to talk rubbish, then let them. Or, if the bullying is more physical, other than responding with violence (which, even against odds, can sometimes be a good response- pre-emptive violence preventing further violence, you must let it be dealt with my an adult or teacher. This is not always the right way to go, and can worsen the situation sometimes. I hope this has helped!

I hate to say this but if I learned anything from my personal experience with bullying it's that bullies always find something that just isn't enough. So my advice is to lose weight for your own benefit (if you think you have to) not because someone out there thinks you should. You have to learn to love yourself. It would not be easy but it's crucial 'cause when you learn that, no bully in this world will have power over you to make you feel bad. So go on, we care about you. It's time you start caring about yourself. :)

If you want to lose weight, you should do it for yourself. People will always find something to make you feel bad about. Don't listen to them, they are not worth it

Firstly, your body is beautiful no matter what anybody says. Do not change what others do not like. You're unique and only you can chance yourself. That being said, it you believe the bullying is going to become worse if you don't lose some weight, I'd suggest reaching out to a trusted adult or therapist. If you don't feel comfortable with that even a loving friends - even if they're on 7cups - is all that you need to sometimes make you smile. I will say, if you do not like your gorgeous body, you can always change that. But don't let others force decisions onto you.

People shouldn't be bullying you for your weight. They shouldn't be bullying you for any reason. If you love who you are then you have no reason to change.
