Schools across the country should adopt a curriculum that addresses the psychological, emotional, and physical harm suffered by teens who are bullied because they are overweight.
The emails I receive from parents and students tell stories of deep pain that confirm why this work needs to happen. I am spending my evenings drafting formal requests for school boards to review their current policies. The progress is slow and the resistance is heavy but I have no intention of walking away from this.

Reaching this milestone feels heavy because it highlights how many people carry these wounds every day. I am exhausted by how long this fight has taken but I will not put it down.

I completely agree with this. As a student that is overweight, and is bullied by it, I think that this is a wonderful idea.

Thank you for sharing this excellent idea to transform schools into safe and happy places for ALL students and staff, not just the "beautiful" people.
