Oh honey, I feel for you. I am 37 but I was overweight as a child as well. Kids (heck even adults) can be very cruel to overweight kids.
First, just because you are overweight doesn't mean that you have ANY less value than any other human being on the face of the earth. Trust me, being skinny doesn't mean that all your problems go away. Lots of people have friends, based on their personalities and who they are on the inside, not because they are skinny or considered attractive by society's standards.
Lose weight for yourself, to be healthy and feel better, not for others or to get friends.
The best way is to track what you eat and what exercise you do.
Here is a great website for you to try and it is totally free for anyone. Give it a try.

I have the same problem. Im 5'7, 197 and 13. Not everyone has to be skinny. Some people cant help being a little overweight. Your not totally obese. Try and eat a little less, try doing little things also like maybe playing w/ your dog or friends. But try and handle it yourself before you see a doctor. God bless and good luck.

Panicking will not do you any good. Stay calm, relax, try to understand this message and make a decision to incorporate each step in your daily weight loss regimen.
You'll achieve your goal of losing weight thru a well balanced diet (80% alkaline foods and 20% acidic foods daily), regular exercise (three/four times weekly 30 minutes each), and drinking 8 glasses of water daily. However, I'll go one step further to show you the best and quickest way to lose weight so that your entire system will achieve a balanced pH and not be depleted of the essential minerals that it needs. Here's why.
As the typical American diet is mainly acidic, except for most fruits and vegetables, it is close to impossible for our body to attain the alkaline levels that spells good health without the proper nutrients. This being the case, it is very difficult to lose weight unless you monitor closely your body's pH. Let me explain.
An acid pH has considerable influence over the majority of weight problems, including Diabetes and Obesity. It seems that a habitually acid pH can directly cause immediate weight gain. Here's what happens when a system is too acid. A condition known as Insulin Sensitivity or Syndrome X results, which forces too much insulin to be produced, and the body is flooded with insulin so that it won't waste any calories, it diligently converts every calorie it can into fat.
It is thought that an acid pH immediately signals the powerful genetic response to an impending famine, directly interacting with the all important and very sensitive, Insulin- Glucagons Axis. This makes the body produce more insulin than usual, and in turn, produce more fat and store it. In general, the more insulin is available to the body, the higher the probability that fat will be produced and stored, rather than used and burned as energy.
Thus, an acid pH will probably alert the genetic response to famine, directing more insulin to be produced and storing more fat than usual. Conversely, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH, will be more likely to yield normal fat burning metabolic activity, making no demands on the body to overly produce insulin and make fat, allowing fat-weight to be burned and naturally lost. And, with a healthy pH, there's less likely to be any yo-yo effect, or rebounding from a diet with additional weight gain. As long as nutritional stores are maintained, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH allows fat to burn normally for energy, rather than being hoarded under the mistaken biochemical belief of an impending famine.
The best way, though, to drink 8 glass of water daily is to mix it with Xtreme X2O, a natural and organic, coral calcium with 70 trace minerals, which transforms the pH of the water beverage to 9.9 (highly alkaline)!
You may ask why not just drink plain water? The answer is: When you drink lots of water, all of 8 glasses daily, it does not have the essential minerals (calcium, magnesium with 70 trace minerals) that your body needs for effective metabolism as the pH of plain water is rather low and very acidic.
If you would like to know what your pH levels and acidosis, let me know. For more info, check this site:

Rather than me telling you what you probably already know, I'd suggest that you and your mum go to see your doctor, who can refer you to a dietitian. They will be able to give you a good diet plan that is suitable for your age. When you are young, you should not go on a diet unsupervised, as you need to ensure you are receiving on the necessary vitamins and nutrients whilst you are growing. It's also important for you to start practicing healthy lifestyle habits now, whilst you are young. I'd also suggest joining an athletics club or taking up a sport. You could also go swimming, jogging or cycling to keep fit. Good luck : )

Yes, I would say that you're obese. You're also a bad speller to add insult to injury. The reason why you've gotten fat is simple. More food went into one end than came out of the other end. Hit the gym and eat less. It should work better than your current plan is working.

Obesity is an indication of other problems related to self-esteem. It is NOT what you eat, it is what's eating you. Get help. You deserve it since you are aware of the problem. Good luck.
