                                           Do people not like me because I am overweight? John: I think that my classmates don’t like me because I am overweight. Sometimes I hear people laughing behind my back in class. I don’t feel confident, so I seldom talk to others. What shouldI do?Marc: I understand how you feel. I used to have a similar problem, but I thought that I was too short. When we played basketball, people never chose me for their team. But later, I found out that it wasn’t because I was too short. It was because I had a bad temper. After I changed this,people often chose me first to be on their team. Denise: My sister, Julia, is not a very thin girl, either. But she has many friends. I think you need tobe more confident and love yourself for who you are. Looks aren’t everything. What’s on the inside is the most important. If you are a good person, you can have many friends. You don’t need to have a perfect body. Just show others that you are kind and you will become more popular! Claire: If you really think that you are overweight, you can   do something about it  . You can learn about what food to eat. For example, you can eat less sweets and snacks and eat more vegetables.If possible, try walking to school instead of taking the bus. Remember, you do these things for yourself and your future!
