I'm fat and that's it. Everyone at school tells me I am and has a go at me about it. They think it's so funny, even those who aren't pushing me around or even saying anything, they still stand there and laugh. I don't know what to do about it. I've been on every diet possible, I've even tried to only eat fruit for the day but I got so hungry that I ended up eating loads of crisps and cake. Whenever I try to talk to my mum about it seriously she just goes off on one, saying, "you're not fat everyone else is just too thin". Hearing that doesn't help, I just want to be like everyone else that's all, I don't want to stand out.

Another thing is that I don't really have many friends, well, except one who used to live down the street. I think my mum thinks it's my fault, but I do try to speak to people, it's just I don't want to go where they go, like the youth club. I mean, what would I wear? Whatever I wore they would only laugh at me, it's not worth it. I suppose Kelly and Mel are my friends as well, but I don't see them very often. They come round my house sometimes and we talk about stuff and Mel always sticks up for me at school.
