What bothers me is why is it "acceptable" in our society to pick on, intimidate, and bully people because they are overweight? You can't discriminate based on race, sex, nationality, or sexual orientation. Those are taboo, but no one seems to mind if people are picked on because of being overweight. This is wrong. I was bullied in grade school because of my weight and for other reasons. The bullying was so hurtful and painful. I can still remember the hurt. I am not sure if this affects me now. I would not be quick to say it does. But bullying is a bad thing that should not be tolerated.
