WHY DO PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF OVERWEIGHT KIDS?
I have multiform friends which have been “overweight” as well as we do not consider which matters. Well a lot of alternative kids during propagandize have fun of them for being overweight. we am not overweight myself so we obviously do not no how they feel. But we feel so bad for them. But anyways what is a role of creation fun of them? Why do teenage kids have fun of alternative overweight teenagers?

Overweight people aren’t considered “beautiful” according to the media.
’nuff said.
You ever notice how in the movies/TV shows they portray the overweight person to be dumber, more gluttonous, academically slower etc. than the average person? Take the dad from Family Guy for example…

This all goes back to the whole theory that “skinny” ppple are pretty. Personally i don’t believe in it. The media has generated so much fuss about how being skinny can make u look pretty.
But i think beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You can’t really do anything about such situation except promise urself that YOU yourself will never do such a thing. Even one person can make a difference

Two main reasons:
- Some people are ignorant
- Some people make themselves feel powerful by making fun of others
You often see a combination of the two. It’s quite sad, really.

They are ignorant and do not realize that it is painful for the people they are making fun of.

by the sick standards we have in this country today, you don’t look “pretty” unless you a twig. people make fun of others as a way to make themselves feel cooler/better.

Cuz kids can be very cruel - not only about weight but also clothes, hair, the way they talk.

I agree with the others who say that the world around us has such ridiculously high standards as to what “beauty” is. If you aren’t a size zero, people will look down on you. Never mind the fact that you’re intelligent, have a great personality, are kind and giving, and a good person all around. You’re not considered “beautiful”. Look at that TV show, America’s Next Top Model…..There are girls on there who are a size 6 and are considered PLUS SIZE. The average woman is, I believe, a size 12. Here we have some ridiculous TV show saying that a size 6 is plus size. It’s ridiculous.
It’s not just overweight people. If you have the wrong hair color, eye color, skin color, height, or any other flaw, there are people out there who think it is okay to make fun of you. BIG NEWS FLASH…None of us are perfect. Its not okay to make someone feel like crap because they’re not 10 pounds, or they have a nose that others might consider too large. Just look at the jump in plastic surgery. I think if someone is genuinely unhappy with something, then they should change it. However, we have so many women AND men who are getting plastic surgery repeatedly, endangering their lives and paying out the wazoo to get the look that will make them accepted by everyone. It’s a freakin’ disgrace, I tell you.
We just all need to realize that beauty comes from within. All shapes, sizes, colors..doesn’t matter. If you have a good heart, that’s all that matters, thats where the true beauty comes from. No human has the right to put down another human being because physically they are not up to their standards. It’s a damn shame.

Well, today’s society thinks overweight means unhealthy and poor self respect and an overall dirtiness. A study showed that if you are overweight and have a good diet, excersize, etc. rather than being skinny and a couch potatoe, you are healthier.

because they arent raised with manners by there parents. when kids are overweight if its not a medical condition, its the parents fault period. my cousins are overweight and its ridiculous. when you are so obese and cant breath cant walk and its due to just over eating, thats sad its so bad on your heart ive seen shows when kids at 6 yo weigh 100 pounds andthe parents are big too, americans can be lazy too much eating out and fried foods these kids arent born like this its created. its not healthy. did you know that for the first time in history there are young kids that have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and sleep apnia?
making fun of overweight kids is stupid it serves no purpose again it falls on the parents. i wen to a buffet last weekend this teenage girl about 14 had to been about 200 pounds I watched her cut in line to get her 4th serving of fried chicken then she had 2 bowls of ice cream she was there before me and when i left an hour later she was still there. she loved that salt shaker too. her mom and siblings were big as well.
what happens if we go into a state of emergency and they have to evacuate and be without food what will happen to them? if you are 200 pounds at 14 how much will u weigh at 19 and 30? I gained 100 pounds with my baby and in 6 months i was back to my weight cause i refuse tobe unhealthy. i may get robbed and how the heck would i be able to jump fences and take off if im barely able to walk?

i went somewhere where this one kid (I’m talkin’ like 200+ pounds here 9 years old…) had three chins, a massive stomach, waddled and had trouble breathing.
He was starring at a brownie display for some time before asking his mother for “some” not one. “SOME” of the sweets…And they were those jumbo brownies. The mom was talking to someone, so she just shooed him aside.
The look on that little boys face when he was denied those brown squares was utterly priceless and unbelieveable. This kid went OFF. His huge cheeks got red while he boomed “BUT MOM, YOU SAID I COULD HAVE BROWNIES!!!!!!! I WANT BROWNIES!!!! I’M HUNGRYYYYYYYYYYY…!!!!”
He started stomping and pouting and when his mom ignored him more… he HIT her thigh, demanding food. Well, this caused a little scene and the boy knew it. He started screaming some more and made his way over to the sweets stand. When his mom said he’d have to pay for them, he said “You always do…” and and started eating one, at the same time grabbing for another, giving her a “I wish you’d do somethin’” look.
Lets just say he got ********.

They bully, make fun of other kids because of their own insecurity issues and low self esteem, it makes them feel better about themselves and it makes them feel cool and of course they love the attention. In reality it just goes to show how many problems they actually have!
I had a very bad childhood and growing up i also had really low self esteem and severe insecurity issues and I too was a bully in all aspects, it made me feel better about myself when instead it was hurting others and doing me no good. Which at that time i didn’t realize and of course now i feel guilty over the way i treated others including my own brothers and sisters.
So the best thing to do when being bullied by others is just to ignore them, eventually they will get bored and stop probably moved onto somebody else. It’s alright, what goes around comes around and they will soon re-live the pain that they brought unto others that is if there not already:)

I havn’t experience that. My friend from school is really over weight and no one is ever mean to her or makes fun of her. There are only about 2 people in my year level at school who are over weight and none of them are picked on.
I think people just feel a bit sorry for them. I’m not over weight but I can sympathise with them. I know that it’s not their fault (they’re both Maori so their genetics are against them).
I’m 17 and I think when teenagers get older they don’t really worry about their peers, they’re more concerned in their own appearance.
ranaju_ld on Wed, 15th Jul 2009 3:08 pm
Sometimes they need a way to vent anger they have kept inside, maybe they have issues of their own and sometimes they just do it because apparently people who are overweight a different (I don’t believe in that) the bet thing to do is just ignore it.

Maybe these people need some incentive to lose weight..It is a lot better than dying from obesity related problems like heart attack.. I have been overweight for a while now..and some of my friends call me fat…..And guess what? they are right …I can deal with it…If I don’t want people to call me that I guess I could get off my fat but and do some exercising and lay off McDonald’s….

teenagers make fun of anybody that isnt attractive by society’s definition. its a sad fact of life. i try to avoid others doing it as well as doing it myself. people should know that people arent made to be the same, we are made to be different.
