Since I was about 8 years old I have been overweight and I've been teased about. After about 4 years of it I just started to believe everything that the bullies said. They would say I would spend the rest of my life sitting at home getting fatter and that I'm so ugly that no one even wants to talk to me, but now I play softball just about everyday and I participate in my school's indoor colorguard and the dance team and I also lost some weight doing it. Also, I'm slowly starting to believe in myself more and more because of the friends that have stuck by me.
