I have always been a overweight girl. Every since elementary school I have been called names. Of course at the time I would just laugh with them because at the time I never really knew what they were talking about. Then as I hit middle school and understood when people would sit there and call me cookie dough and maybe you should go eat another cookie. I knew that I overweight, I didn't understand on why people had to rub it in my face. As I entered high school I learned to stand up for myself and joined sports, choir, theater. By getting involved in my school, I didn't have to deal with a lot of what I was going through. If it wasn't for my friends that I have now, I don't know where I would be.
