[quote=Anonymous]OP, it is not right of people to tease or comment on weight. It is impolite at the very least. I just have to wonder to what extent the bullying occurs. I only ask this because fat kids have always been teased,  my brother included. I also had it rough at that age for being mixed. There was no school in our town to transfer to. My brother ended up with a football scholarship to a fancy private for HS after working hard to get into shape and now volunteers to tutor children as an adult because he feels connected to the struggle of junior high. By high school, my race was not important at all because every guy wanted to days the cute mixed girl (who sadly was not allowed to date - how ironic). I guess what I am saying is that a move to a new school might solve the bullying issue but you have done nothing to equip your son to handle adversity by doing so. I am concerned that by essentially running away without any real closure, he risks being a repeat victim down the line or a perpetrator of bullying at some point in his life. [/quote]
