You do not have to stop being friends with them....be a leader in your group of friends and tell them that making fun of over weight people is a type of discrimination and you are uncomfortable with it, and would they not do it when you are around. Some overweight people have medical problems and cannot help it...
It is unkind to make fun of anyone.
Good for you to stick up for how you feel. It is difficult for Young teens today to do that. Congrats to you.

go ahead and tell them that karma is gonna come back and hit one day if they keep on making fun of overweight people. I know a lot of people who r overweight but they turn out to be the sweetest people you will ever meet. And if they have a problem about what u think then maybe their not really your real friends. Trust me i had to deal with that situation before with my friends.

yes, you should tell them how you feel, because they are cruel, and no one should be picked on , because they probably might be like that because they got it from their mother or father's side of the family. and no one likes to be picked on.tell them to look in the mirror because nobody's perfect. and ask them if they were overweight and a group of people came by him/her and started picking on them, and they will see how it feels to be talked behind their backs, or have been said cruel things about them.i learned from experience, and it really hurts inside, and when people pick on overweight people, they use food as their comfort, so its really peoples fault most of the time for people getting to big all the time. and it gives stress.and if they keep doing it, or don't listen to u, then they aren't true friends, and dis them.true friends listen to the truth.

i think you should tell them how you feel, and if they can't understand your feelings, or deliberately continue, maybe you should stop hanging around them. i think it's really cool to stand up for them ( i am a little overweight)

you need to talk about it to them if they dont seem to care then stop being friends with them...but i think that people who make fun of other people no matter what it is..be it weight or look...are just doing it because they have low self-confidence about themselves!

if i were u i would just talk to them and ask them how they would feel if they were the ones being made fun of cuz of their weight.......tell them that it makes u feel uncomfotable.....and that it hurts ppl's feelings.....if they are your true friends then they will listen to you! if they get mad and continue then stop hanging out with them untill they change!

Hell yes tell them. If they don't care, don't even attempt to change this behavior, and continue their cruel, immature abuse, why would you want to be friends with them?

ok, pray to God to change their hearts and minds from the foolish things that float in their heads...if you decide to tell your friends that, make sure to add " you better thank God you werent born to be fat as well."
