You have already lost 15 lbs. You are off to a good start. Keep pushing yourself. Do what you enjoy and try to take pride in yourself.
High School doesn't last long dude. You are almost halfway through it.

Never be afraid to be who you are is the best advice I can give you. Who says you can't be a wrestler with two screws in your hip? Look at Zack Gowen, dude doesn't even have a leg but he still chased his dream of being a pro wrestler. Don't worry so much about what everyone else thinks and just be yourself.

Negative energy just creates more negative energy. My advice: try to focus on the good. Try to focus on positivity. the nice thing about high school is: it ends. Once you are out, all of the petty BS either goes away or the people who stay focused on it go away. I wish you peace and happiness. I read the Golden Present's daily thought each day to help me stay positive: www.thegoldenpresent.org/golden-present/Golden_Present.phpIt might help? |

This is pretty much what I would say, focus on the good instead of the bad. Once your out of high school life totally changes, it feels like a big weight off your shoulders.

Once you push off the weight, you won't have to worry about any of these. You've already
lost 15 lb this year, so say motivated and don't lose focus of what you really want in life. Look
healthy and lean. Be physically fit and try not to be to self conscious either, it will hold you back
just consider what you want for the future. Don't worry about anyone else, everything will fall into
place with more effort.

I swear- it sounds like something I wrote 24 years ago when I was in high school.
My advice- Like others have said, keep thinking about the positives. It sounds really difficult, but having a better outlook on things will really help. High school only prepared me how to deal with idiots in life. Keep reminding yourself- it's only for a short time.
Why are you not doing well in your classes? Do you have trouble studying or staying focused? I don't want to sound mean, but you could have a learning disability. Is there a way you could ask for help from your teachers or a tutor? Could you possibly ask a guidance counselor for some help?
Congratulations on your weight loss. I hated gym class as well because I had meaty man boobs. (Real term is Gynecomastia). Had I known about it, I would have gotten it taken care of when I was younger. This might be something you would look into. Everyone's body is different, and you can't help how you develop.
There is no shame in collecting figures. I still have my Tri-Logo Han Solo in carbonite MOC. If someone busts your chops about collecting, just say your prefer dealing with collectibles instead of stocks.
I hope things start looking up for you.

Yeah, I'm a freshman right now and it sucks at times. My advice is that you find a sport or club you like. You'll make some great friends and it will get you through the 4 years.

You'll lose some weight, people will look at your leg(or lack of for that matter) instead of your belly, and you'll get a wrestling job! |

Study hard and prove the nay-sayers wrong. If you have trouble, go to your teachers and ask them to explain anything you don't get, i'm sure they would appreciate that.
Other than that, high school can be rough, just keep going and remember, while having a dream of wrestling is a great thing to focus on, you need to get some good grades along the way, just incase life doesn't throw you the cards you want.

  In all seriousness, the first thing you need to do is stop worrying about what everyone thinks. Chances are 90% of them wont even be around in 5-10 years and they sure as hell wont remember you buying toys then either. Just be who you want to be and if somebody doesnt like it then just ignore that person and move on with your life. |

High school sucks and those popular kids won't mean anything after you graduate. People that say it's the greatest time of your life, have never really lived or done anything meaningful. Everyone goes through something similar to what you're going through now even though you feel so alone.

i have 2 tips for you
1. Use their hate to motivate you to lose weight. believe it or not, it will work and you will be more motivated to lose weight.
2. Join the football team. Since you mentioned you were a bigger kid you could play a defensive position, lose weight, and make friends.
For me Highschool was great, i kinda wish i was still their, but dont get it wrong, i wasnt one of the kids that made fun of people either.

Dude.....  everyone else. Live your life for you, not to try and please other people. That's key. I know it seems really hard to just say "screw them, they don't matter" because deep down I think everybody wants to be accepted and fit in.....but would you rather be ridiculed for what you love and who you are, or be loved and accepted for pretending to be something you aren't? Don't be phony. Don't give up or hide your dreams and what you love to do. The people who you are afraid of making fun of you aren't worth your time. As far as school.....just do your best. I'm a teacher. Not everybody is great at every subject. I think most teachers know that. Instead of getting angry and storming out and giving your teachers a bad impression, go to them after school or ask for extra help. If you show them you care and put in the effort, they will pick up on it and it will all work out. As far as health.....again, just do your best. It's tough losing weight. Maybe a plan like Weight Watchers with a points system or method of measuring portions. That way you cam still eat what you want, but you just won't over do it. I've found that when it comes to dieting, you can't just cut out all junk food right away because you are going to have cravings. So if you have a craving, you can eat treats, you just have to do it in moderation. You already lost 15 lbs so it seems like you have a good plan and have found what works for you...so keep up the good work. Good luck man, I hope it all works out for you. |
