I know this may seem like a mean joke,but its not.This show exists on MTV,

and is very popular.I went on the site as this is what it says:

True Life: I'm Obese

Today more and more young people are suffering physically and emotionally

because of their size - one in every four teenagers is considered " overweight "

AND one in every seven is considered " obese. "

Do you have trouble finding clothes that fit you? Does your weight stop you

from participating in social or school activities? Are you picked on because of

your body? Do you sneak food? Have you tried to lose weight and failed? Do

you feel like you can’t get a date because of your weight? Have you been told

that it is necessary for you to lose pounds for health reasons?

True Life wants to explore the issues surrounding obesity and its causes. If

you are between the ages of 16 and 26, please email your story to

weight@.... Please include you name, age, location, and phone number

(Maybe this will put a new slant on it for everyone)
