Default Please help for my final year project

Hi! I’m Joey! I'm a final year student at the university of California. For my final year project I'm writing a report about weight discrimination. I am overweight too and I know what the behaviour of people towards fat people is. I am here to seek your help. I'd like to get your personal viewpoints regarding discrimination you face from day to day. Also, anything you would like to share about what it is like to live when you are fat...Thanks!

Hi Joey! Well I will be glad to help you. Often I have found the buses not stopping on bus stops just because there are some fat people who are waving for the bus to stop.

That’s good that you are doing a project on weight discrimination. Long ago there was color discrimination and nowadays we have weight discrimination. I will add that the employees tend to choose the slim people when it comes to recruiting people. Meritocracy has become of least importance nowadays.

I don’t agree with you. This could be true for some companies only but there are still many companies which select you for a job if you merit the job.

Many of my friends make fun of me because of my fat belly but I don’t take their words seriously.
