[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PP who keeps harping on this kid bringing bullying on himself because of his weight is undoubtably someone with food/body image issues of her own.  There's no other excuse for her to be so aggressive about this.  I sure hope she isn't teaching her kids that its OK to bully a child who is overweight.  [/quote]

No, I'm not. And I'm not a "her."

I'm not saying that the bullies' behavior is acceptable. I'm not saying there shouldn't be an intervention. I'm merely pointing out that one way -- the BEST way -- to fix the problem is to lose weight. I really don't understand why you don't think this is a beneficial idea. Unlike the lisp example, at least weight is something the target can control. [/quote]

No it isn't the best way to fix the problem.  You make it seem like a very simplistic formula:  If child A is X, child B will bully him.  Remove X, and the bullying stops.  But bullying is never about punishing a specific attribute, its about provoking a response.  if its not the weight, it will be something else.

There are all sorts of reasons why a teen who is overweight should lose weight (though you clearly have no compassion for a kid who has been bedridden.  Are you truly this mean?) but preventing bullying isn't one of them.

Your hostility and aggressiveness is weird.  the way you keep posting on this thread over and over again saying the same thing over and over again is weird.  Your total failure to comprehend the situation is weird.  I doubt you are a father but perhaps you are.  You've got some kind of serious issue and its showing.[/quote]
