You know what amazes me? Kids like him on the right. I met him today. He accidentally ran into me while playing catch with his friend. He looked at me and immediately freaked out saying sorry a million times, and then all of a sudden he stopped. He told me he used to be afraid of kids who were big and strong like me, because he was bullied in school for his weight. I asked why it didn’t bother him anymore, and he told me he went through a huge time of depression, and then realized he should love who he is no matter what. And that it doesn’t matter what you look like, what you weigh, or who likes you. He said as long as he was content with how he looked, how he weighed, and who liked him, he was happy and that’s all that mattered. It’s kids like HIM who show me that everyone can be strong. That everyone has a reason to smile and be confident. I wanted to get a picture with him to spread his story. He’s an inspiring kid, and everyone should take his advice.
i can relate to that story.
