It's No Fun Being Fat at Fifteen.
If you've ever been overweight, even by the slightest degree, you will have known the misery of school days. The chubby kid who is nicknamed Fatso the minute he, or she, enters the college gates for the first time. Unfortunately the name can stick for years, as can the accompanying inferiority complex.
Having been overweight myself from an early age, I remember the trials of sports day, the guffaws of classmates during my plodding attempt at the 100 metre run. The knowledge that my very well-developed bosom was a source of fascination for onlookers and a great embarrassment to me as I ran the course. That feeling of self-conciousness is very difficult to overcome, even in later life.
