I’m an overweight(超重的) girl. People always make fun of me. At school, I don’t spend much time with other students and don’t like to join in activities that I enjoy because I’m afraid people might laugh at me. ①What should I do? Please tell me.

And don’t be afraid to take part in any activities you like. Remember: ⑤People are more interested in your behavior than your weight.
