MONDAY, May 3 (HealthDay News) — For kids, a few extra pounds may invite trouble from the schoolyard bully.

New research suggests that just being overweight increases the risk
of being bullied. And factors that usually play a role in the risk of
being bullied, such as gender, race and family income levels, don’t seem
to matter if you’re overweight — being overweight or obese trumps all
those other factors when it comes to aggressive behavior from other
children.

The study found that being overweight increased the risk of being the target of bullying by 63 percent.

Hi Everyone.  Let me come out in the open and begin by saying no I do
not have children. Don’t close out this article and flip to another
screen yet.  I could say that I have nieces and nephews and many friends
with children, but we know that simply is not the same, right? So then,
why write about children when I don’t have any of my own?  The primary
reason is because I care about children and although I have not given
birth to children, I do feel as very close to the children I train and
towards those children within my “Lil Dragons” program.
