I should have added this: I was anything but fat as a kid---I was a total tomboy and spent my childhood at top speed. But I was tall----I reached 5'6" at age 9 and grew to my adult height of 5'7" by the next year. That was where I ended up being teased. It took until 9th grade for one of my friends to reach 5'9". The boys didn't catch up for another 18 months. LOL! Such is adolescence. What angers me is that clothing mfr. and the so-called 'experts' never take that into consideration. They're oh-so-fast to suggest 'obese kids should be taken away and put in foster care' (which is as stupid, childish and ridiculous a notion as can be found.) Meanwhile, they're busy cutting all school programs except varsity football......I'd say there's a whole lot of ugly coming from a whole bunch of idiots on a regular basis re: this subject.
