People are cruel,sorry to hear you have to put up with that.You could try letting people know it’s a medical condition,but when people are cruel enough to tease about things like that,it may not help.

Just eat those words as they come. Tell your hiarchal superior about harassment and descrimination. Don’t respond to any insults, always ignore them to make them feel ashamed. If you respond defensively they’ll keep doing it.

There will always be stupid people in the work place, in life for that matter. Best thing to do is ignor them as you can’t whip everybody. I have been overweight all of my life. It is not any fun as you know. I am 60 now and lots of people that used to be skinny have now joined me. Revenge is sweet. LOL

Answer by Mod
Do what JimmyR said…”Tell your hiarchal superior about harassment and descrimination” …communicate this problem to the upper ladder ppl…tell them its affecting your productivity or something….take action…you don’t deserve to take all that from idiots…I wouldn’t care how big or thin you were…i would respect you for the person you are….People need to grow up…

    I’m sorry people are teasing you. You deserve better than that. Don’t react to their cruelty. That is exactly what they want from you. I’m sure you are a beautiful person with a good heart. Remember that karma will catch up to the mean people you have to face every day. If a medical condition is causing your weight problem then you know that it’s not just because your lazy or something. Jesus loves you. Remeber that always.

    it’s called harrasment and discrimination and it is illegal. And in an academic environment, it’s abhorrent.

    God bless, good luck and think about a new job. They don’t deserve you.

    i have been overweight all my life. After high school though I never got harrased for being over weight. My personality shined through. Im sorry that even in college you cant escape from that misery. my suggestion to you is to surround yourself with your friends and be the better person .Make your tormentors feel like asses for teasing you. i mean we are adults, right? As long as your personality is great, they have nothing to tease you about.

    Ignore it. I know its hard, but you know about your condition. If they knew, they would feel diferently about harrassing you. I know that it is tough being over weight, but you cant kill yourself trying to fit in. You just have to be the better person and dont let it get to you. If you are comfortable in your skin then thats all that matters. If you arent comfortable, then find a suitable solution. You could try dieting, try exercising, or seek medical help. This will only make you stronger dealing with those that are making fun of you. If I were you, I wouldnt react to their jokes. Eventually they will figure out that it just doesnt bother you and they will give up.
