wow. I never realized how brutal they are to Augustus. I've read that book 3 or 4 times and I never thought of how terrible that would be for a chubby kid to read that.

fat shaming is everywhere, and bullies will always bring up that its unhealthy to be that fat. But they don't actually care about that persons health, they just want to bully that person. It's sad.

I know a lot of people who struggle with weight. some who seem to do it in a positive way and some in a not so positive way. but either way, they have to deal with people bullying them and I feel so bad for them being bullied.

I also know a lot of people who don't struggle with their weight. I don't know if most of them have ever had to struggle with their weight, or if they were ever bullied for their weight. But, I do know they don't bully other people for their weight, 'cause I don't hang out with those sorts of people.

good read, I hope a lot of people read it and get their kids to read these books. not just the chubby kids, but all the kids.
