Lose weight for yourself, not because of people or for people, they aren't worth your effort. Bullying is a kind of mental problem, they are sick people, they can't see someone better than them so they pull them down by doing this. Don't pay attention to them, they are weak people just go on, they don't even deserve that you think about them. Stay blessed :)

People bully others for a reason, that reason will never be the reason they make out it out to be, sure they may say it's our size,weight,skin colour,clothes, poor or wealthy, family circumstances etc but generally it'll be because you have something they don't, if your a nice person they'll pick on you for it, if your good at your work they'll pick on you for it, it'll never actually be something you've done they do it because te problem lies with them, if they come from broken homes, or too good a home, if they have no money or too much money..it's not your fault. Never change who you are to satisfy someone else, if you are happy with yourself the way you see you then don't change for anyone. Never give in and never give up.

People who bully will find any reason possible to bully. The best way that I know how to stop a bully is to simply love yourself enough to stand up to what they are saying. Bullies are small people, the best way to beat a bully is to be a bigger person than they are.

Your weight should not determine your worth. Gaining or losing weight should be solely on what you want and if you feel comfortable doing so. When others bully it's usually due to low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence. Do your best to ignore the nasty comments they say to you and continue doing whatever you feel is best for you. If YOU truly want to lose weight for yourself and feel better about yourself for YOU only then go for it. But never do it to please others. There's only one of you out there so treat yourself just as that, a work of unique art.

No because, unfortunately, the world is cruel and people will always find a way to make someone feel bad. Many bullies have flaws too, but they love to call out everyone else's. Just be yourself and the right people will come along.

People will certainly cease bullying if you gain confidence- as then their bullying will have no effect. Losing weight, or any other change to yourself that doesn't necessarily improve your confidence, will not necessarily affect your bullying. Though gaining control of your weight is always good from a medical perspective. Do it for yourself.

no, because people will always looking for your flaw then use that against you, and that's more of their fault not yours . if you want to lose weight, do it for yourself, not for anyone else. there's a lot of better reasons to lose weight, like for your own health. you're beautiful, you're unique, and just be who you are. just like tyrion lannister said, never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not, wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you ;)

Bullying can make you feel like it's something about yourself that must cause it, but I can tell you that that is absolutely not the case. You could be what most people consider 'perfect', and yet people that are unhappy with themselves will find any detail about you to bully you over, just to try and escape their own pains and issues and make themselves feel better.

It depends on the situation, generally, people who bully an individual do it to make themselves feel superior to the one who is being bullied. Therefore, sometimes it does not depend on the characteristics of the one who is bullied, but on the emotions the bully gets from bullying.

You are beautiful. And nobody has the right to make you feel like you’re not. Losing weight would mean letting the bullies win which isn't the way to go. Show that you are strong and powerful and at any given moment you have the power to say, this is not how the story is going to end. Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities and the way you look! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful and happy. Leave them behind and take the first step to taking control of your own life.

Definitely no. They'll just find something else to target regardless of what you do because that satisfy their needs to dominate over others. If you ever feel like losing weight, do it for yourself and your health because that's all that matters! You are what's important. Not them.

People could stop bullying you if you lose weight, but if you want to lose weight, lose it for you- not for what other people think of you!

There will always be people who try to judge you or make you feel badly about yourself. Generally these people are unhappy themselves and want to make sure everyone else is equally unhappy. Living your life according to what others think or to impress others is a guaranteed way to be unhappy. Losing weight will not stop people from judging you or finding something about you to criticize. Your weight or appearance does not define you. You are perfect as you are. Spend your energy focusing on the people that love you and value you. The people that matter will not care what you weigh. Be confident that you are a wonderful person and you deserve to be happy on your terms.

It does not matter what others think of you, only what you think of yourself. What will being sad about someone calling you a name accomplish? Nothing. It doesn't matter what they say. If they call you names, that means they are the ones who need to rethink them self. Just ignore and do whatever makes you happy. As long as you eat healthy, it doesn't really matter. Don't let them get to you. Keep your head up and smile, sunshine.

No they will not stop bullying you if you lose weight. That is a simple and short answer to your question. Well bullying is not a good approach to encourage a person to lose weight. LOL

You shouldn't ever change yourself for other people. You should always stay true to yourself. You are amazing the way you are. Don't let others change your perspective on yourself.

Self confidence starts with changes to your thoughts not to your body. People will always try to bring you down, and if it's not for your weight then it will be for something else. It's hard to let the haters roll off your back like water, but it can be learned! It's wrong that we have to work to change our thoughts to accommodate for their nastiness, but if we can learn to accept that their words are only words, and stop fueling their fire, then maybe one day they can learn to be kinder to others.

They might, but it's unlikely unless you suddenly get a new group of friends. Bullies may use fat as an excuse, but they're really bullying you because they can get away with it--that is, because you're in a vulnerable position and don't have friends to back you up. Also, weight loss is almost always temporary, and most of the ways you'd use to go about it will be unhealthy in the long run.

Do not feel like you have to change for people, you are your own person... And bullies get a kick out of doing picking at peoples insecurities so that they will do what they want them to do. Its hard not to do what your brain tells you because you want the bullying to stop so you'll do anything to make it stop, but if you was to lose weight they'd find something else to pick at, I've had the same problem and they just kept picking and picking by the time I had left school I was in no emotional state to carry on.

No, it's not about your weight or anything. It's all about who bully you. He/she has problems. Not you. Just be yourself, be how you want to be.
