By Christina S., Willits, CA

     I enjoyed "Fat and Free" by Josephine L. because I am surprised to hear there is someone out there who can admit to being fat and not caring. I am also kind of fat so I know how she feels. Except, unlike her, I don't have the courage to tell myself it's okay.

I grew up with all my friends being skinny. They like to make me feel better by telling me I'm not fat, but I know they're just trying to be nice. I never found my weight a problem until my mother started to tell me I should lose a few pounds.
