Be proud.

You know, I've spent the majority of my life being teased and picked on. When I was younger i was much smaller then the other kids, so of course that meant i had to be picked on. Now things of changed, I'm bigger and taller then those kids who onced picked on me. But really all thats changed is WHY the pick on me.

I personally find no problem with being "big". I don't find it hard to do anything. I can run, i can jump, I can do everything any one else can do, and soemtiems better. Sure I'll sweat alittle more, sure I'll run our of breath. So what if i don't look good in a speedo? Who cares? I'm happy with myself.

I have plenty of friends. I've had plenty of girlfriends. Do any of them care what i look like? Nope. They like me becuase I am me. They like my sensitibity, my humour. They like me for me. Not because I'm some highschool football jock.

Anyone who tries to put me down, they don't know me. Frankly, i don't want them to. I don't want them as friends. Theres a saying, "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all." Well thats why i don't say anything to THEM!! I wish they would at least have the decency and courtesy to do the same.
