P2) Fat Boy Chronicals

Another book that I am reading is called The Fat Boy Chronicals. This is a book about the troubles and bullying that teenagers have faced in High School. This boy, named Jimmy, is way over wieght with extreem obesity at age fourteen. His doctor has told him if he doesn't change now, he will have diabetes for the rest of his life. Jimmy is always face with ridicule and torchure by other students every day in school. He now has gotten a weight loss machine and has lost over thirty pounds in weeks. he felt bad for his freind because he has extreem obesity and people pick on him worse and do terrible things behind his back. It suddenly hit him that people do the same things to him behind his back, which hs him contemplate suicide.
You know, I thought at first that this book is just going to be another reading assignment, only in health class, but it is actually very interesting. Here is a fun-fact: this story is actually based on a kid from Mason. I know, I didn't belive it at first either. What shoked me was that the story talkes about people doing drugs, alcohol, parties, and I just can't imagine this happening in Mason. Mabey where I used to live, but not here.
