  • Why do people blame the victim of bullying?

    I was the victim of bullying throughout my life because of a life long obesity issue. There is nothing physically wrong with me if i diet and excercise regularly I can do ok, But I have been chronically obese since I went into puberty. I see people right away want to lose weight to please the bullies, but you are not the one with the problem, the bully is the one with the problem. I have found that there is always someone in my path that thinks bullying is ok, only months after I dropped 40 lbs in high school, I was in a department store and a teen boy, a stranger said to me, Why don't you go to Weight Watchers? Twenty years later I was riding my bike on a city street and teenagers in a car yelled at me...go to Weight Watchers.I was biking doing the right thing..Losing weight doesn't make them stop you have to look within and learn to stand up and let them know that you won't tolerate their hate.
