2 Story: Y'all gotta remember he was 15 when this started. Tell me you know of a 15 year old who doesn't have a stick up their ass who knows it all. And if you do, that's because they were forced to grow up faster because of their environment, which most of them realize later in life, and that isn't right. Of course he was kind of narcissistic. He was 15. I was a MASSIVE narcissist when I was 15. I was a very different person a mere 4 years ago. You change a lot, and yea, sometimes it takes a health scare to wake someone up. That's how the world works. What do you think COVID was for a lot of people? His story makes sense. He was young and dumb, grew up, and matured. I'm proud of him for that. Don't know why so many of you are hating on him.
THIS. Like I think half of these comments forgot the fact that he wasn't even old enough to be able to drive like bro at that age I'd still be playing video games. Like he was 14, and that's honestly pretty amazing for how he matured in a toxic environment.
I mean he's still an ass. It seems as though he's trying to share the blame when really it was on him solely. Sure they went to extremes, but clearly they tried before with trying to get him to go to the gym and get him some healthier stuff, yet he claims they only went to extremes. It's sad. I mean an apology that tries to lay the blame also on the person you're sorry to isn't really an apology. Op sucks and should do an actual apology and make up with his parents.
He was still stupid for throwing fit (politely) ower someone trying to save his life. He was a giant hypocrite for telling that his overweight is a good thing to show who really cares about him when he to the end refused to take care from the only two peraons who really wanted to help him over some "internet studies" and reddit nerds and sjw community. He literally tried to find way to sue (or at least threaten to sue) his parents for trying to help him. And in the end when they lost all faith in him and come to terms with the fact that their kid would die horrible death or become a fat vegetable. As a conclusion when he got his head from ass he just said: "Oh, this stupid parents don't want to talk to me and they did so much horrible things to me, so I just run away from them as soon as I turn 18" He didn't change mentally. He's still a narcissist, but now his condition got through his stupidity. Only that got through, nothing else. His parents are still bad. Guys on reddit that said that he should lose weight are bad as staff of a camp, doctors and school are as well. And 15 isn't an age for throwing fit not to attend events and talking to new people in camp. He literally went on reddit to ask if there are any legal ways to stop parents. It's the age when your critical thinking should be at least near done as there are only 4 years to adulthood. Trying to imply that it's normal to be stupid narcissist at the age of 15 speaks for itself.
Man, the 2nd kid...like he takes NO responsibility for his health at all. It took a literal health scare to get him to do anything. I'm glad he finally figured it out, but maaaan.
Yeah he really thinks that he doesn’t have responsibility’s, like how hard is it to try to and lose weight. Like op really was 255 at 14. That’s not healthy but hey diabetes gonna hit him like a dump truck
Also he is really surprised that his parents won’t talk to him? He searched how he could call the police on them for them trying to save his live(!) why would them talk to him if they know they can get in serious trouble
@@yuvalweissman9490 Right? I'm not saying the parents weren't toxic themselves, but the kid was also, again, not taking any responsibility for any of his actions.
The second story seems to be getting a lot of hate from people because the kid wasn’t except responsibility, which yes is a major problem, but he also makes it clear in the future that he was in a bad relationship with his parents due to them being off and on parents. I’ve had a couple of friends who had similar situations and it took them several years to get their lives together. Maybe not with the weight thing, but one of my friends almost failed school because of it. Off and on parenting is not helpful to a child going through their toughest years. The child clearly saw this as a spite against him and probably got some bad advice from his friends at school which I think most of us can relate to. Realistically he’s being a dumb 8th/9th grader who thinks he knows more than he does. I think most people have that stage in life where we think we know everything. Rather than be mad at a kid who was being dumb, we should be inspired by a kid who turned his life around for the better. It may have been a hard road for him, but he’s improved his life and that’s what’s really important. I just hope someday he can have a civil relationship with his parents, which again only feels like it’s partially his fault, but majorly neglect on the parents fault.
Tbh I'm not really buying it. I think that he left out a lot of stuff to try and make himself seem better then he was. The fact that he admitted he reacted to screams so quickly makes me think that he was basically a Dudley Dursley.
@@Pikachu150 I wholeheartedly agree with you. A big piece of evidence is that this story wasn't told in one go, but slowly updated over the years. All the new bad details about his parents only came up when he wanted to change his image for a perfect redemption arc. From the start, he did not hold back on sharing any details, so I don't believe he was withholding anything in the past. Plus, if they were such bad parents, they sure kept feeding, clothing, and schooling him during the no verbal communication period. They lost hope for him, but did not give up on their parental duties. And it's more likely that there were attempts to start a conversation, but it always ended up badly because of OP. So yeah, I don't believe it one bit when OP is labeling his parents as toxic. He's just too arrogant , egoistic, and narcisstic to bear the blame all by himself. He doesn't even want to share the blame 50/50. He probably just wants 5.
@@Pikachu150 Finally someone said it. I could be wrong but he came off as someone who thought Reddit would be on his side and then when he got flamed suddenly now they were bad people who neglected him but before they weren't bad people and took good care of him?
The 1st story: I would want to know what the lawsuit record is. someone threatened to sue me for punching her son… We were sparring. I’m a martial arts instructor.
I wouldn't worry much about these brats because as soon as they're ready for society and they still acting up like this they'll get a reality check very quick when they're find themselves in handcuffs
When it comes to the second story, I can relate to a degree. I also suffer from weight issues as well. At my heaviest, I was at 375 lbs. Now, I've lost as much as 75 pounds. (There was a point where my weight was at 285 lbs., but I had gained about 15 lbs. later... either it was because of excess water, foostuffs, muscle... or possibly slipping in my dieting. The pandemic has been, and still is, very difficult for anyone who's trying to keep the excess weight off.) Now, the question about OP being the jerk? Well, yes. His issues about his girth isn't an issue of vanity. It's an issue of health. (I can defintely relate as I had sleep apnea due to obesity, even using a CPAP machine for awhile to help me sleep. I don't need the machine anymore now.) Also, the parents were jerks. They were pretty much neglecting their child and only involving themselves few and far between and using unrealistically harsh methods. The "fat camp" may sound like a good idea at that time, but you cannot force someone to lose weight unless the person (OP in this case) wants to lose the weight. Anyway, I'm glad OP in the second story did decide to lose weight for himself and is continuing to improve himself. I hope he keeps up the good work and continue to better himself in the forseeable future.
Story 2: The neglect by the parents by going on trips leaving OP alone for weeks is the root cause of his issues. They forced him to fat camp to 'fix' him yet his weight issues were psychological before they escalated into the physical. I am glad OP is well, that he isn't in contact with those toxic parents and that he is has a good support system. I think this is a good story to remind us that sometimes people being fat is a symptom of something else not just them being lazy. We need to be more compassionate.
Thats not neglect, ignoring their kid and letting their kid be fat, and the kid being ok with being fat is the fat culture today brainwashing kids to think fat is healthy.
Agreed. Sending OP to the fat camp only entrenched OP's behavior deeper (and increased the mistrust between him and his parents), and being forced to take heart medication later didn't help since the OP thought it was a misdiagnosis (it's not 100% clear if it actually was a heart attack or just bad heartburn), and the mistrust only deepened. OP's sleep apnea attack eventually got OP on the track of attempting to be more healthy but the damage to his trust of his parents was already done, and it sounds like there was a reason it never got repaired.
That guy grew so much in 2 years. Going from a child saying no to someone who takes responsibility for his actions. He literally got a wake-up call and did what he needed to. It's sad to see his parents neglected him. No child deserves to live like that. As a child your parents are responsible for your eating habits, when you buy your own food it's your own. It may be hard to break those habits, because you've probably been stuck with them for ~18 years. If you're trying to lose weight remember that every single change you make, even a single cookie per week less, is progress. The reason many people fail when they diet is doing everything at once. Try small steps you feel comfortable with. If you know you can't have snacks in the house because they will get eaten, leave them at the store. If you know you're not going to eat those apples, don't buy them either. If walking past snacks in a store is too difficult for you, try doing your groceries online. The items are in sections, and fruit, veggies, meat, dairy, and bread are at the top. If you don't have an online store try asking someone else to go for you or with you. And never ever go without a list, keeping to a list is way easier than looking for things you want to eat, because the lure of delicious easy things are way less tempting when you don't see them.
I agree. Most commenters on here are piling on the kid for the decisions he made as a young teenager(what is a 14-15 year old) by refusing to go at fat camp and saying he wasn't taking responsibility. That neglect by the parents is what led him down that path and everything they were doing to 'fix' him was a punishment. I am so happy that he got away from that toxicity and he has built himself a support system.
The 2nd story is super relatable… ouch… my mother was like his parents . I wasn’t even that fat in hindsight, but I was unhealthy still. I didn’t have health issues like that, but she acted like I did. I was depressed and her constant remarks about my size didn’t help. I didn’t start losing weight until I moved out. Then I had to move back in and like magic, the weight came back. Then I moved out again(have stayed gone this time) and the weight dropped off in less than a year. In less than a year, I went from about 300 lbs to 180.
@@RainPark-vn2bx I really wish I had an answer. Only thing I can think of is that I wasn't as stressed when away from her. Aside from that, I didn't eat much bread, or much of anything for that much. Food is expensive
That kid is so unbelievably adamant about sacrificing 5 to 15 years of his life, and his health and just doesn't take any responsibility for himself just vehemently shitting on his parents because they don't want his life to be worse because of his health
I was 250lbs by age fourteen myself at a measly 5’2” in height. Losing weight has so many more benefits than just the way people around you perceive you to be. I had so much more energy after the first 100lbs came off. You don’t realize just how much strain your body is under until the burden is lifted and then you start to wonder why you waited so long to feel this good.
When I was in childs/youth Psychiatrie I met a few people who also weren't very... Cooperative, to just shove someone into something and telling them to do something will most likely do the opposite. To change something you need to want to change something and as we heard, it can take a near death experience to get that to happen, especially if it's a teenager who's already somewhat rebellious. Honestly at least he did it without harming anyone
I relate to that last story, but my issue is I've been bigger my whole life where even with EDs I never lost, but never gained either. I stayed at the same high weight no matter what I ate, if I didn't eat, if I exercised or didn't, etc for 10+ years. The only time I lost weight was over a year when I was turning 18, my parents stopped buying me food saying they couldn't afford it, and so I was only eating once to twice a week by either art commissions or sneaking small amounts of pretzels that were too little to notice go missing. I was also exercising on top of it, but over that whole year or maybe more, with barely eating and exercising I only lost 40lbs, and promptly gained it all back once I moved out and was eating one meal everyday. My new doctor in my new state has concluded me not being able to lose weight is related to some type of MEDICAL CONDITION that currently is unknown due to starving way more than normal was the only way I really lost any weight at all. My parents have shamed me my whole life basically with my mother even commenting things like "you wouldn't even fit smaller than a size 20 or higher" at that time I was a size 14. Parents seem to shame their kids for being heavier even when its entirely out of their kids control, it's awful. Some people *really* cannot control their weight due to medications, or not being on medications, or other undiagnosed problems that they need help with, not shaming, it could even be addiction for all you know, it can be caused by depression, anxiety, etc. You NEVER know! Moral of the story is basically never body shame and never assume a bigger person is just lazy, some of us are trying super hard to lose weight.
While the parents in the second story behaved awfully, yes, OP definitely was the jerk at first. This is what's wrong with most teenagers nowadays: They know nothing, yet claim to know everything. Anyone with a brain could tell you a 14-year old shouldn't weigh 275 pounds, bu mister know it all here thought he was in a position to refuse his parents' and the camp's attempts to help him. At least he learned from it.
*Story 1:* Some children are undisciplined. Just because their parents are wealthy, they seem to think they can get away with anything and not get punished for wrongdoing.
In the 2nd story: This young man was very overweight and he was only 15 years old. I understand that his parents put him in Fat Camp without talking to him first and that they were concerned about his health. He was a narcissist and a know-it-all kid. I feel that you only get a mom and a dad in this lifetime. His parents should've been there for him instead of doing their own thing and not doing things with him to help this young man get the help that he needed. Shame on the parents! I'm glad that he woke up and realized that he made major mistakes about his health. Sleep Apnea is a scary thing when you trying to breathe and you're gasping for air. I'm glad that this young man got his life together and I pray that he stay healthy for all the right reasons. Kudos!
Yeesh, glad that kid finally wised up. Huge difference between "you have value no matter how you look" and "uwu you don't need to change anything about urself". Then again the parents were a huge part in messing this poor kid up. Shocker, being hugely overweight is *not* "fine" or okay for your body, it destroys your body and joints and everything. Relieved that it sounds like this kid got a lot better. What awful parents... . Proud of him for getting out and getting better.
im glad that the last person figured out how to not hate himself and starting to eat healthier and even lifting he turned his life around, i respect that
That has nothing to do with the US education system. Thats just either the School or the entire district being filled with people who never got an elementary school degree
My family only used our lawyer if the school punished me or my siblings for fighting back against a bully or for standing up to a bad/belligerent teacher. We didn’t sue just because the teacher yelled at us or punished us when we actually deserved it (sneaking out, chewing gum, going “out of bounds”, disrupting class, horseplay, etc.).
As a heavy person as well I don’t at all condone this behavior. This kid is 15 and he doesn’t have a say, I don’t enjoy being fat. I’m trying to lose weight to feel better and it’s been working and I’m seeing a difference. So this kid is one of those people who think being fat is healthy when it’s definitely not.
@@yourlocalcoffeeaddict9603 I mean whether it’s his fault or not his fault he still shouldn’t have thought it was okay to be heavy, I listened to the whole story but I still think he was somewhat to blame for his own actions.
@@ChelseyIsATotal5SOSFan Honestly, I think the parents totally bungled their approach to the OP's health issue. By sending OP to the fat camp against the OP's wishes, they only prompted the OP to dig in their heels. (I suspect this may well be a major factor in the low success rate of these camps.) While an intervention may have been necessary they needed to find another way to deal with it, preferably more hands-on on the parents' part (given the previous parental neglect). I honestly think that the parents' decision to send OP to fat camp only entrenched the OP's behavior deeper, which may have contributed to the OP's later resistance to the medical interventions, and then the later health crisis.
I once woke up gasping for hair. I had already been trying to lose weight but I was in a similar situation as the kid in that last story. Not because I didnt want to lose weight, because I did and I still do, but I was trying to hard and I didn't like myself. Now I am successfully losing weight and it's been about a year or two since I woke up gasping for air like that. I'm still over 200 pounds but I am getting better, and one of the reasons I'm still over 200 pounds is because I've been gaining muscle.
Story 2: he calls girls who don't want to date a fat guy as shallow, that is quite possibly one of the most narcissist comment i have ever heard. No one is obligated to date you, no one is obligated to date anyone, period. You have no right to criticize anyone who doesn't want to date you, it's every persons right to choose who they date and you are not part of that decision making process. He is only bitter. If he "owns" the fact that he is fat, then he should be man enough to "own" the fact that he is bitter. Fat and bitter, who would want to date that. If you judge people who don't want to date you as someone who is ugly in the inside that actually makes you yourself ugly in the inside. He clearly have some issues, he need to fix.
@@dylanclay2741 In the end part of the story he comes little closer that realization, that he himself is the problem, but he still got long way to go. People should come to that realization before they got heard attack. Big ego is really bad defense mechanisms, you only start pushing people away and judging them, even when they are trying to help you.
I was just about to comment that. Which girls are shallow?? Dude. 99.9% of girls wouldn't date a fat guy because being fat just isn't good, socially. Not to mention the biological danger of being fat. You're more likely to get a heart attack if you are fat, than if you are not. This guy sounds like one of the people who loves fat culture because it helps them to accept that it's okay and perfectly safe being fat. Like, NO. It is not. Fat and bitter. Perfect statement. He is like those women in woke culture who rate themselves as a 10, while being f-ing 200 lbs. Lol. Get over yourself, OP. Or just keep playing into your insecurity that the world is cruel and fat shaming you. LMAO
Story 2: you can't force someone to lose weight and basing on a kid for resisting is wild. Let's not pretend going to a fat camp is a healthy choice when we know most places can boarder line on torture for forcing kids to have "results". Plus last update shows OP was dealing with bigger problems outside of weight like a stable home life. How is everyone brushing past that initial fact because it would explain why he was to depressed to doing or became overweight from stress. The parents are in the wrong in this situation for being neglectful and dismissive to push everything to the extreme.
For story two, legally he can be forced to go to (I think he called it) fat camp in fact parents can do a lot of things because minors have very little rights one of the things your parents can do is force you to go somewhere. Also another thing a parent can do is give you unfair and harsh punishment so no it’s not abuse (unless it is) and that’s coming from a 13 year old, that’s saying a lot about how little people know the law, I don’t really want to talk about what I think and technically is legally correct mostly because so many people would get mad (Just saying I learned this from my civics teacher who was in the military he also has the funniest stories).
The last story hit home quite abit with me i get that when people try to force you to lose weight never works and people are stubborn know this as a fact just he turned his life around and alot of people like me regret the help they was trying to offer but they went the wrong way about it
15:03: I'm a skinny guy, and even I know you just hit the nail _right_ on the head there. To paraphrase Dan Cummins, I want to eat my steaks and get the f*** out of here. 😂😂😂
I also was a very fat and tall kid,i always thought how he thought but now i go try to be fit enough because being fit makes me more energetic and world not peaceful enough for me to be fat and slow
Children shouldn't be exempt from lawsuits if they're going to lie, you destroy someone's life with your forked tongue, your college funds go out the door!
I hate that kids aren’t allowed to make their own desicisions like it makes sense bc they’re kids and don’t have the best judgement but for going to camps or going to a doctor to stop taking medicine is bs
What you need is to go to counseling with your parents. I was happy when I was young. Then I lost weight to go into the military. Tell your parents you're depressed. If you ealk away from them you'll regret it.
My mom was a glorified baby sitter in my elementary school from when I was in kindergarten to about 4th grade. My whole school loved her. Everyone knew her, no one knew she was my mom. We didn’t look alike she had curly hair I had straight, she had short darker brown hair, I had long medium brown hair. My mom had A LOT of freckles, I had freckles in the summer barley any in the winter. I got bullied a lot by this kid Lily (7) I was 8 I have two older sisters R (12) and N (11) I am the youngest. I started to tell my best friend who is my sister about it. A few week in to this kid bullying me N told me to tell mom when it happens. I as a naive 8 year old I did not. She continued until I told my mom and my friends. She continued until the end of the year. I forgot to say it was her first year in our school, so she didn’t have a lot of friends I was her ONLY friend. She was over protective and that lead to bullying. I got revenge in 4th grade when I was 10 I had my favorite teacher ever and Lily kept stealing from me. So I told the teacher on her it started with her reaching into my desk and taking a pencil, I did mind because she didn’t give it back. Then she took my DOG ASH NECLACE, and a few bracelets, she didn’t know that it was a dog ash necklace but it fell out of her bag and I grabbed it off the floor. I planned to get even more revenge than that I was gonna help my friend who she bullied in 4th grade to report her to the principal. She moved in 5th grade, only to a new school she was still in the same school district. After this kid moved I became friends with kids on my bus. I said my full name to him and he said ‘you are not related to Mrs.(my last name)and became like a rudder kid but we became friends. Anyways I don’t have anymore time to type so bye. I hope you have a good morning/evening/afternoon.
What a pleasure to always hear people having amazig ambiton, like " oh I'm gonna do nuclear engineering" or things like that No I don't feel like a failure :)
I know he’s just 14, but as somebody who’s overweight and working to improve their health, and who was at that age too, this kid seems to be suffering from a lot of misconceptions. For starters, just because people get concerned about your health or aren’t attracted to extremely overweight people, does not mean they’re shallow. Second of all he’s clearly under playing that this is about his health, and he’s basically saying his parents are bad people because they’re listening to doctors.
Imagine being that determined to have a lower life expectancy. And that update. He's already got health conditions he chose to ignore. And then he suddenly realizes he doesnt understand the complexity of nutrition. Hopefully he'll get better. Sad that his journey also destroyed his relationship with his parents.
And that from someone with the name DoktorPepper, one of the unhealthiest things on earth. As you could obviously hear from the updates that the friend from the mother even didn't know she has a son makes it clear that the only reason the send him into it wasn't that he lose fat for his health it was that the wouldn't have to shame for him. The parents are shit. A little lesson about losing weight. If you yourself don't want to lose it then it's pointless. You don't have motivation and don't sees a use in it.
@@SMDoktorPepper exactly! I'm not sure how reliable his telling of the parents are either. It seems like they tried to get his to be healthy, and his rejection and anger towards that, plus the refusal to take medication, they probably thought he was going to die, they'd done what they could, and accepted nothing they did would change his trajectory. I dont recall if he said how old he was when he said his parents would leave him alone, but he was at least a high schooler and didnt need 24/7 surveillance. (I left my 17 y.o. nephew home alone overnight when I had to take mom to the hospital.) And if OPs parents had refused to buy junk food, he'd have posted how horrible his parents treated him, and probably go on a hunger strike. As for his mom's friend who didnt know she had a son, very likely she didnt mention it bc they were effectively estranged at that point, and some people just cant accept disconnected families and continually ask, which could lead to OPs mom being very sad. Or it may just not have come up yet, especially if it was a new friend.
@@kevintull3302 the reason they sent him to fat camp was bc they were concerned for his health. The same why they fought to have him take his medication due to his developing heart condition. His continued refusal severed the parental bong to the point where his parents could never be viewed positive. How dare they try to get him to lose weight!
Story 2 glad he managed to get himself healthy. I actually agree with his actions at the fat camp. He never should have been forced to go. However his weight was going to cause problems down the line if he didn't address them. I'm glad he got the wake up call he needed and took it into his own hands. Good for you OP for losing weight on your own terms and dumping your toxic parents. Good luck on your health journey.
Sorry I cannot relate to the second story in anyway and even though he lost the weight I still feel he’s a massive jerk. He needs to fix his relationship with his parents that he messed up. They tried to keep him alive and he caused the problems. It won’t happen over night but he needs to fix that. At the very least apologize for his actions.
To kid with health problems. (Preface: I hated my cousin but that only frames how much more I think this means, because no matter how much I hated him for his bullying and personality I took his passing terribly) My cousin passed away not long ago at the age of 26. Due to heart problems. He did all the things you describe. He was large, maybe 230-250lbs. Didn't take care of himself. He was told over and over again that he was running his body into the ground. He left behind a child that half our family didn't know about because of his choices to separate from us. He refused to stop doing stressful work. His operators licence was taken away, but he kept working (legal issue I know) because it was bad for his heart. He refused to take his medicine. Or take any steps to help himself. He even refused to do the bare minimum needed to be a valid candidate for receiving a heart transplant. Refusing it. I don't know, nor do I pretend to know what was going through his mind. But our grandfather went through many health problems while we were growing up. When I was born grandpa was given 6 months to live because of various health complications. But he managed to keep going until I was 16, and by extension, my cousin was 13-14. During that time my grandfather was on a list to receive a transplant for a new heart and lungs, (both at the same time, because if they only did one of the 2. The weak original organ would weaken the new transplanted opposite organ) so it was a long wait. Eventually he decided to say no to the transplant when it finally came around. Saying to give the organs to someone younger. Idk if this experience influenced how my cousin saw his own health or not. But it shines a light to my own thoughts about how my cousin lived his life. All in all, it's not the reference of "I don't care about losing 5 or so years when I'm old" you will be lucky to get to be old.
kinda on the same journey. my thing started when i started drinking tons of water a day. i mean i drank gallons every day. ended up when i would go to the bathroom what came out was clear as the water i was drinking. now, i had a few friend that were military doctors and when i talked to them about the issues i was told "you are fine just hydrated." so trusting them i went on with my life until i was one the phone with another doc and i was feeling sick like the flu or something. my friend said i should just go to the hospital and have myself checked out. my response was if i don't feel better in the morning i would go. well, i went into my room and laid down and closed my eyes. when i was sure i heard something in the back of my mind say yeah got to sleep. i was up and dressed and heading to the hospital. so sitting there waiting when they took me back and started testing. the doc comes in and says ok we are going to admit you now. i was confused until he said we have no idea how you are still awake with your blood sugar the level it is you should be in a coma. needless to say i was listening now. as he told me i was type 2 and if i didn't change i would die in the next few years. ok after 5 days in the hospital to get my levels down i gave up the junk food and started watching what i ate and the main thing was i gave up bread. hit the gym doing aqua zumba. this was a lot of fun one in the water it took the weight off my knees plus (yeah i'm a perv) in a pool with ladies ranging from 18 to 80 was a lot of fun to jump around with and after the class soaking in the hot tub and just chatting. in a year i had dropped 60+ pounds and my type two was gone. that freaked the doctor out as he had never seen anyone drop type two that fast. so here i am now still working on the weight but, i look like a party balloon two weeks after the birthday. so much loose skin i think i hit the right breeze i could glide like a flying squirrel.
I feel the kid in the second story but I don't want to be fat! I myself am on a journey learning how to eat healthier and workout. It has been so tough but I have an amazing support system behind me! I started looking into family history and genetics to help me learn what to stay away from. I've lost 10 pounds so far and I'm excited to keep moving forward! To others in this situation as dori would say "just keep swimming" 😂 💖
I had the same problem, i used to be very fat, but now, im dropping weight, no exercise, just not eating much, onr meal a day on weekdays( a fairly big meal though)
Hope this makes someone's day "you are never too fat, never too skinny, never too strong, never too weak, never ugly but always pretty" -someone wise For:everyone
I can relate I went to high school that was the best in my area, ranked 43rd best high school at the time I wasn’t rich but nobody cared tho, we were just good old friends I didn’t encounter any spoiled brat tbh
Number two. Report your parents and school to cps. The shame of that alone will force them to leave you alone. I went through something similar with ADHD medication when I was a child and reported them to CPS. I'm going to tell you what. You've never seen people doing about face so quickly in your freaking life
In the 2nd story it's the parents fault. Most would blame the kid but it really isn't. His parents, teachers and principal failed to elaborate more into why he needed to go to fat camp or try to lose weight. They could've explained it to him about what would happen if he didn't do it instead of shaming him and gaslight him to believe he wanted it in the first place. He's only in his teens and at that age of course they'd rebel or not understand until the guardian themselves need to show them. His parents negativity was already enough proof to why he almost had a heart attack in the first place. He felt no love, no support, no words of life advice that he needed this entire time to achieve what they wanted for him. Hopefully those parents regret pushing that pressure onto him
Second story. The poor kid was very fat and didn’t know how to help himself until a literal wake up call. Congratulations to him for dropping 100lbs and finding workout buddies! Here’s to a long life
Sorry but the overweight kid was entitled the parents were really concerned about his health. 255 pounds is extremely unhealthy he knows nothing about life… yea certainly a jerk. I side with the parents.
I think the second story isn’t just a “Jerk or not” deal. Both sides were wrong. He was wrong for neglecting his health and pretending like it didn’t matter to him, but everyone forcing him to change didn’t understand that with the way people are, if you tell someone to do something they’re more likely to not do it out of spite, even if they originally intended to. Sending him to “fat camp” pushed him further and made things worse. They needed to be actual parents and actually show him why he needs to change and convince him to want to change. But they didn’t, however we did get a good ending with the guy getting better
2 Story: Y'all gotta remember he was 15 when this started. Tell me you know of a 15 year old who doesn't have a stick up their ass who knows it all. And if you do, that's because they were forced to grow up faster because of their environment, which most of them realize later in life, and that isn't right.
Of course he was kind of narcissistic. He was 15. I was a MASSIVE narcissist when I was 15. I was a very different person a mere 4 years ago. You change a lot, and yea, sometimes it takes a health scare to wake someone up. That's how the world works. What do you think COVID was for a lot of people?
His story makes sense. He was young and dumb, grew up, and matured. I'm proud of him for that. Don't know why so many of you are hating on him.
THIS. Like I think half of these comments forgot the fact that he wasn't even old enough to be able to drive like bro at that age I'd still be playing video games. Like he was 14, and that's honestly pretty amazing for how he matured in a toxic environment.
I mean he's still an ass. It seems as though he's trying to share the blame when really it was on him solely. Sure they went to extremes, but clearly they tried before with trying to get him to go to the gym and get him some healthier stuff, yet he claims they only went to extremes. It's sad. I mean an apology that tries to lay the blame also on the person you're sorry to isn't really an apology. Op sucks and should do an actual apology and make up with his parents.
He was still stupid for throwing fit (politely) ower someone trying to save his life.
He was a giant hypocrite for telling that his overweight is a good thing to show who really cares about him when he to the end refused to take care from the only two peraons who really wanted to help him over some "internet studies" and reddit nerds and sjw community.
He literally tried to find way to sue (or at least threaten to sue) his parents for trying to help him.
And in the end when they lost all faith in him and come to terms with the fact that their kid would die horrible death or become a fat vegetable. As a conclusion when he got his head from ass he just said: "Oh, this stupid parents don't want to talk to me and they did so much horrible things to me, so I just run away from them as soon as I turn 18"
He didn't change mentally. He's still a narcissist, but now his condition got through his stupidity. Only that got through, nothing else. His parents are still bad. Guys on reddit that said that he should lose weight are bad as staff of a camp, doctors and school are as well.
And 15 isn't an age for throwing fit not to attend events and talking to new people in camp. He literally went on reddit to ask if there are any legal ways to stop parents. It's the age when your critical thinking should be at least near done as there are only 4 years to adulthood. Trying to imply that it's normal to be stupid narcissist at the age of 15 speaks for itself.
I agree but it is his life maybe he'll change
thats character development😊
Man, the 2nd kid...like he takes NO responsibility for his health at all. It took a literal health scare to get him to do anything. I'm glad he finally figured it out, but maaaan.
He was a kid, thats normal the parents did a shit job of raising him
Yeah he really thinks that he doesn’t have responsibility’s, like how hard is it to try to and lose weight. Like op really was 255 at 14. That’s not healthy but hey diabetes gonna hit him like a dump truck
Also he is really surprised that his parents won’t talk to him? He searched how he could call the police on them for them trying to save his live(!) why would them talk to him if they know they can get in serious trouble
@@yuvalweissman9490 Right? I'm not saying the parents weren't toxic themselves, but the kid was also, again, not taking any responsibility for any of his actions.
I'm just glad he overcame the obstacle.
I'm still in the process, and shits hard.
The second story seems to be getting a lot of hate from people because the kid wasn’t except responsibility, which yes is a major problem, but he also makes it clear in the future that he was in a bad relationship with his parents due to them being off and on parents. I’ve had a couple of friends who had similar situations and it took them several years to get their lives together. Maybe not with the weight thing, but one of my friends almost failed school because of it. Off and on parenting is not helpful to a child going through their toughest years. The child clearly saw this as a spite against him and probably got some bad advice from his friends at school which I think most of us can relate to. Realistically he’s being a dumb 8th/9th grader who thinks he knows more than he does. I think most people have that stage in life where we think we know everything. Rather than be mad at a kid who was being dumb, we should be inspired by a kid who turned his life around for the better. It may have been a hard road for him, but he’s improved his life and that’s what’s really important. I just hope someday he can have a civil relationship with his parents, which again only feels like it’s partially his fault, but majorly neglect on the parents fault.
Tbh I'm not really buying it. I think that he left out a lot of stuff to try and make himself seem better then he was. The fact that he admitted he reacted to screams so quickly makes me think that he was basically a Dudley Dursley.
@@Pikachu150 I wholeheartedly agree with you. A big piece of evidence is that this story wasn't told in one go, but slowly updated over the years. All the new bad details about his parents only came up when he wanted to change his image for a perfect redemption arc. From the start, he did not hold back on sharing any details, so I don't believe he was withholding anything in the past. Plus, if they were such bad parents, they sure kept feeding, clothing, and schooling him during the no verbal communication period. They lost hope for him, but did not give up on their parental duties. And it's more likely that there were attempts to start a conversation, but it always ended up badly because of OP.
So yeah, I don't believe it one bit when OP is labeling his parents as toxic. He's just too arrogant , egoistic, and narcisstic to bear the blame all by himself. He doesn't even want to share the blame 50/50. He probably just wants 5.
Yes blame parents not him refusing to stop eating so much
@@Pikachu150 Finally someone said it. I could be wrong but he came off as someone who thought Reddit would be on his side and then when he got flamed suddenly now they were bad people who neglected him but before they weren't bad people and took good care of him?
The 1st story: I would want to know what the lawsuit record is. someone threatened to sue me for punching her son… We were sparring. I’m a martial arts instructor.
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I wouldn't worry much about these brats because as soon as they're ready for society and they still acting up like this they'll get a reality check very quick when they're find themselves in handcuffs
When it comes to the second story, I can relate to a degree. I also suffer from weight issues as well. At my heaviest, I was at 375 lbs. Now, I've lost as much as 75 pounds. (There was a point where my weight was at 285 lbs., but I had gained about 15 lbs. later... either it was because of excess water, foostuffs, muscle... or possibly slipping in my dieting. The pandemic has been, and still is, very difficult for anyone who's trying to keep the excess weight off.)
Now, the question about OP being the jerk? Well, yes. His issues about his girth isn't an issue of vanity. It's an issue of health. (I can defintely relate as I had sleep apnea due to obesity, even using a CPAP machine for awhile to help me sleep. I don't need the machine anymore now.) Also, the parents were jerks. They were pretty much neglecting their child and only involving themselves few and far between and using unrealistically harsh methods. The "fat camp" may sound like a good idea at that time, but you cannot force someone to lose weight unless the person (OP in this case) wants to lose the weight.
Anyway, I'm glad OP in the second story did decide to lose weight for himself and is continuing to improve himself. I hope he keeps up the good work and continue to better himself in the forseeable future.
Story 2: The neglect by the parents by going on trips leaving OP alone for weeks is the root cause of his issues. They forced him to fat camp to 'fix' him yet his weight issues were psychological before they escalated into the physical. I am glad OP is well, that he isn't in contact with those toxic parents and that he is has a good support system. I think this is a good story to remind us that sometimes people being fat is a symptom of something else not just them being lazy. We need to be more compassionate.
This.
I know my issue is i eat to deal with the stress caused by my "parents"
Honestly growing up in a toxic house i feel for op
Thats not neglect, ignoring their kid and letting their kid be fat, and the kid being ok with being fat is the fat culture today brainwashing kids to think fat is healthy.
Agreed. Sending OP to the fat camp only entrenched OP's behavior deeper (and increased the mistrust between him and his parents), and being forced to take heart medication later didn't help since the OP thought it was a misdiagnosis (it's not 100% clear if it actually was a heart attack or just bad heartburn), and the mistrust only deepened. OP's sleep apnea attack eventually got OP on the track of attempting to be more healthy but the damage to his trust of his parents was already done, and it sounds like there was a reason it never got repaired.
That guy grew so much in 2 years. Going from a child saying no to someone who takes responsibility for his actions. He literally got a wake-up call and did what he needed to. It's sad to see his parents neglected him. No child deserves to live like that. As a child your parents are responsible for your eating habits, when you buy your own food it's your own. It may be hard to break those habits, because you've probably been stuck with them for ~18 years. If you're trying to lose weight remember that every single change you make, even a single cookie per week less, is progress. The reason many people fail when they diet is doing everything at once. Try small steps you feel comfortable with. If you know you can't have snacks in the house because they will get eaten, leave them at the store. If you know you're not going to eat those apples, don't buy them either. If walking past snacks in a store is too difficult for you, try doing your groceries online. The items are in sections, and fruit, veggies, meat, dairy, and bread are at the top. If you don't have an online store try asking someone else to go for you or with you. And never ever go without a list, keeping to a list is way easier than looking for things you want to eat, because the lure of delicious easy things are way less tempting when you don't see them.
ESH
I agree. Most commenters on here are piling on the kid for the decisions he made as a young teenager(what is a 14-15 year old) by refusing to go at fat camp and saying he wasn't taking responsibility. That neglect by the parents is what led him down that path and everything they were doing to 'fix' him was a punishment. I am so happy that he got away from that toxicity and he has built himself a support system.
The girl of the first story really was about to ruin someone's life for... getting a time-out at school? Gosh, how can people be like this??
That kid and her mother deserve a good ass beating.
The 2nd story is super relatable… ouch… my mother was like his parents . I wasn’t even that fat in hindsight, but I was unhealthy still. I didn’t have health issues like that, but she acted like I did. I was depressed and her constant remarks about my size didn’t help. I didn’t start losing weight until I moved out. Then I had to move back in and like magic, the weight came back. Then I moved out again(have stayed gone this time) and the weight dropped off in less than a year. In less than a year, I went from about 300 lbs to 180.
what did you do to lose the weight? just curious bc im trying to figure out what works for me
@@RainPark-vn2bx I really wish I had an answer. Only thing I can think of is that I wasn't as stressed when away from her. Aside from that, I didn't eat much bread, or much of anything for that much. Food is expensive
Im so proud of the 2nd kid
That kid is so unbelievably adamant about sacrificing 5 to 15 years of his life, and his health and just doesn't take any responsibility for himself just vehemently shitting on his parents because they don't want his life to be worse because of his health
I was 250lbs by age fourteen myself at a measly 5’2” in height. Losing weight has so many more benefits than just the way people around you perceive you to be. I had so much more energy after the first 100lbs came off. You don’t realize just how much strain your body is under until the burden is lifted and then you start to wonder why you waited so long to feel this good.
When I was in childs/youth Psychiatrie I met a few people who also weren't very... Cooperative, to just shove someone into something and telling them to do something will most likely do the opposite. To change something you need to want to change something and as we heard, it can take a near death experience to get that to happen, especially if it's a teenager who's already somewhat rebellious. Honestly at least he did it without harming anyone
I relate to that last story, but my issue is I've been bigger my whole life where even with EDs I never lost, but never gained either. I stayed at the same high weight no matter what I ate, if I didn't eat, if I exercised or didn't, etc for 10+ years. The only time I lost weight was over a year when I was turning 18, my parents stopped buying me food saying they couldn't afford it, and so I was only eating once to twice a week by either art commissions or sneaking small amounts of pretzels that were too little to notice go missing. I was also exercising on top of it, but over that whole year or maybe more, with barely eating and exercising I only lost 40lbs, and promptly gained it all back once I moved out and was eating one meal everyday. My new doctor in my new state has concluded me not being able to lose weight is related to some type of MEDICAL CONDITION that currently is unknown due to starving way more than normal was the only way I really lost any weight at all. My parents have shamed me my whole life basically with my mother even commenting things like "you wouldn't even fit smaller than a size 20 or higher" at that time I was a size 14. Parents seem to shame their kids for being heavier even when its entirely out of their kids control, it's awful. Some people *really* cannot control their weight due to medications, or not being on medications, or other undiagnosed problems that they need help with, not shaming, it could even be addiction for all you know, it can be caused by depression, anxiety, etc. You NEVER know! Moral of the story is basically never body shame and never assume a bigger person is just lazy, some of us are trying super hard to lose weight.
While the parents in the second story behaved awfully, yes, OP definitely was the jerk at first. This is what's wrong with most teenagers nowadays: They know nothing, yet claim to know everything. Anyone with a brain could tell you a 14-year old shouldn't weigh 275 pounds, bu mister know it all here thought he was in a position to refuse his parents' and the camp's attempts to help him. At least he learned from it.
how would you like it if someone told you that you were gonna spend your last summer as a child talking about a problem that wasnt a problem yet
*Story 1:* Some children are undisciplined. Just because their parents are wealthy, they seem to think they can get away with anything and not get punished for wrongdoing.
In the 2nd story:
This young man was very overweight and he was only 15 years old. I understand that his parents put him in Fat Camp without talking to him first and that they were concerned about his health. He was a narcissist and a know-it-all kid. I feel that you only get a mom and a dad in this lifetime. His parents should've been there for him instead of doing their own thing and not doing things with him to help this young man get the help that he needed. Shame on the parents! I'm glad that he woke up and realized that he made major mistakes about his health. Sleep Apnea is a scary thing when you trying to breathe and you're gasping for air. I'm glad that this young man got his life together and I pray that he stay healthy for all the right reasons. Kudos!
"The yOUng yArD dUtY hIt Me, And cAlL Me nAmES" 😂😂😂
Wow this story is crazy
yeah fr (idk which one)
Sounds like a movie
Yeesh, glad that kid finally wised up.
Huge difference between "you have value no matter how you look" and "uwu you don't need to change anything about urself". Then again the parents were a huge part in messing this poor kid up.
Shocker, being hugely overweight is *not* "fine" or okay for your body, it destroys your body and joints and everything. Relieved that it sounds like this kid got a lot better. What awful parents... . Proud of him for getting out and getting better.
im glad that the last person figured out how to not hate himself and starting to eat healthier and even lifting
he turned his life around, i respect that
That has nothing to do with the US education system. Thats just either the School or the entire district being filled with people who never got an elementary school degree
I’ve never been so invested in a story as much as the last one
3:17 this made me laugh 😂
My family only used our lawyer if the school punished me or my siblings for fighting back against a bully or for standing up to a bad/belligerent teacher. We didn’t sue just because the teacher yelled at us or punished us when we actually deserved it (sneaking out, chewing gum, going “out of bounds”, disrupting class, horseplay, etc.).
The facts Hannah almost fixable by saying the truth, but her parents make it worst ....
I just imagine that the first story is set in a school that looks sorta fancy like a castle or very very modern
The 2nd story is the laziest person ever and has no regard for his health at all
Did you not hear the updates? He’s a changed man and has dropped 100lbs!
2nd kid is the equivalent of an older Eric cartman
Ah yes, the age old "I have a gf in Canada" bit.
I love these goddamn stories, and this goddamn channel!
As a heavy person as well I don’t at all condone this behavior. This kid is 15 and he doesn’t have a say, I don’t enjoy being fat. I’m trying to lose weight to feel better and it’s been working and I’m seeing a difference. So this kid is one of those people who think being fat is healthy when it’s definitely not.
Listen to the rest of the story, it's not his fault.
@@yourlocalcoffeeaddict9603 I mean whether it’s his fault or not his fault he still shouldn’t have thought it was okay to be heavy, I listened to the whole story but I still think he was somewhat to blame for his own actions.
@@ChelseyIsATotal5SOSFan Honestly, I think the parents totally bungled their approach to the OP's health issue. By sending OP to the fat camp against the OP's wishes, they only prompted the OP to dig in their heels. (I suspect this may well be a major factor in the low success rate of these camps.) While an intervention may have been necessary they needed to find another way to deal with it, preferably more hands-on on the parents' part (given the previous parental neglect). I honestly think that the parents' decision to send OP to fat camp only entrenched the OP's behavior deeper, which may have contributed to the OP's later resistance to the medical interventions, and then the later health crisis.
I once woke up gasping for hair. I had already been trying to lose weight but I was in a similar situation as the kid in that last story. Not because I didnt want to lose weight, because I did and I still do, but I was trying to hard and I didn't like myself. Now I am successfully losing weight and it's been about a year or two since I woke up gasping for air like that. I'm still over 200 pounds but I am getting better, and one of the reasons I'm still over 200 pounds is because I've been gaining muscle.
You know they are serious when the have the "delinquents table"
No electronics, lock on the fridge, just clothes and a bed in his room.
Sierra (1st story) good kid
Hannah (also 1st story) MENACE TO SOCIETY
It does seem weird that parents will neglect their child on purpose just to get away from them.
It sounds like that was already happening before. Except after the whole fat camp thing OP parents stopped even trying the bare minimum anymore.
Story 2: he calls girls who don't want to date a fat guy as shallow, that is quite possibly one of the most narcissist comment i have ever heard. No one is obligated to date you, no one is obligated to date anyone, period. You have no right to criticize anyone who doesn't want to date you, it's every persons right to choose who they date and you are not part of that decision making process.
He is only bitter. If he "owns" the fact that he is fat, then he should be man enough to "own" the fact that he is bitter. Fat and bitter, who would want to date that. If you judge people who don't want to date you as someone who is ugly in the inside that actually makes you yourself ugly in the inside. He clearly have some issues, he need to fix.
I agree. No self respecting person would put up with that
@@dylanclay2741 In the end part of the story he comes little closer that realization, that he himself is the problem, but he still got long way to go. People should come to that realization before they got heard attack. Big ego is really bad defense mechanisms, you only start pushing people away and judging them, even when they are trying to help you.
I was just about to comment that. Which girls are shallow?? Dude. 99.9% of girls wouldn't date a fat guy because being fat just isn't good, socially. Not to mention the biological danger of being fat. You're more likely to get a heart attack if you are fat, than if you are not. This guy sounds like one of the people who loves fat culture because it helps them to accept that it's okay and perfectly safe being fat. Like, NO. It is not.
Fat and bitter. Perfect statement. He is like those women in woke culture who rate themselves as a 10, while being f-ing 200 lbs. Lol. Get over yourself, OP. Or just keep playing into your insecurity that the world is cruel and fat shaming you. LMAO
@@davefenner3328 Wtf are you even talking about lol? He changed in the end. Do you need a little drama in your life or something?
@@NikkiAkaNlg Yeah he did, I was talking about when he was a teen. He didn't even acknowledge that he was wrong
16:35: are you sure it wasn't the heart medicine that did that to you?
Story 2: you can't force someone to lose weight and basing on a kid for resisting is wild. Let's not pretend going to a fat camp is a healthy choice when we know most places can boarder line on torture for forcing kids to have "results".
Plus last update shows OP was dealing with bigger problems outside of weight like a stable home life. How is everyone brushing past that initial fact because it would explain why he was to depressed to doing or became overweight from stress. The parents are in the wrong in this situation for being neglectful and dismissive to push everything to the extreme.
In my class there is almost the same kid like in the 1 story. His mum always defends him
Yeah none of the kids who picked on me during my lunch hours got punished yet I got punished for sleeping during lunch and lashing out at the bullies
For story two, legally he can be forced to go to (I think he called it) fat camp in fact parents can do a lot of things because minors have very little rights one of the things your parents can do is force you to go somewhere. Also another thing a parent can do is give you unfair and harsh punishment so no it’s not abuse (unless it is) and that’s coming from a 13 year old, that’s saying a lot about how little people know the law, I don’t really want to talk about what I think and technically is legally correct mostly because so many people would get mad (Just saying I learned this from my civics teacher who was in the military he also has the funniest stories).
Love the Christmas Story reference!
The last story hit home quite abit with me i get that when people try to force you to lose weight never works and people are stubborn know this as a fact just he turned his life around and alot of people like me regret the help they was trying to offer but they went the wrong way about it
That A Christmas Story reference. 😭🤣
15:03: I'm a skinny guy, and even I know you just hit the nail _right_ on the head there. To paraphrase Dan Cummins, I want to eat my steaks and get the f*** out of here. 😂😂😂
Honestly, story two's summary sounded like an cruddy anime plot
I also was a very fat and tall kid,i always thought how he thought but now i go try to be fit enough because being fit makes me more energetic and world not peaceful enough for me to be fat and slow
Eating gum makes you not feel hungry and can ease food craving
When I was in the 4th grade I was being called names at recess so I told the recess monitor who called me a tattletale and did nothing about it.
Story #2 13:00 I'm sorry but they took THE BOOKS away 😭🤚
As a librarian’s daughter I find that offensive
Man that kid jeez… he needed to get a grip earlier- too head strong 🤦🏻♂️
2nd story is the definition of entitled
If his parents left him alone in the house for months than his parents are guilty of child abandonment and neglect.
3:15 made me laugh 😂
Children shouldn't be exempt from lawsuits if they're going to lie, you destroy someone's life with your forked tongue, your college funds go out the door!
19:10 CONGRATS!!!
I hate that kids aren’t allowed to make their own desicisions like it makes sense bc they’re kids and don’t have the best judgement but for going to camps or going to a doctor to stop taking medicine is bs
I swear, if these stories came from your life, you have the most interesting life in the world
What you need is to go to counseling with your parents. I was happy when I was young. Then I lost weight to go into the military. Tell your parents you're depressed. If you ealk away from them you'll regret it.
My mom was a glorified baby sitter in my elementary school from when I was in kindergarten to about 4th grade. My whole school loved her. Everyone knew her, no one knew she was my mom. We didn’t look alike she had curly hair I had straight, she had short darker brown hair, I had long medium brown hair. My mom had A LOT of freckles, I had freckles in the summer barley any in the winter. I got bullied a lot by this kid Lily (7) I was 8 I have two older sisters R (12) and N (11) I am the youngest. I started to tell my best friend who is my sister about it. A few week in to this kid bullying me N told me to tell mom when it happens. I as a naive 8 year old I did not. She continued until I told my mom and my friends. She continued until the end of the year. I forgot to say it was her first year in our school, so she didn’t have a lot of friends I was her ONLY friend. She was over protective and that lead to bullying. I got revenge in 4th grade when I was 10 I had my favorite teacher ever and Lily kept stealing from me. So I told the teacher on her it started with her reaching into my desk and taking a pencil, I did mind because she didn’t give it back. Then she took my DOG ASH NECLACE, and a few bracelets, she didn’t know that it was a dog ash necklace but it fell out of her bag and I grabbed it off the floor. I planned to get even more revenge than that I was gonna help my friend who she bullied in 4th grade to report her to the principal. She moved in 5th grade, only to a new school she was still in the same school district. After this kid moved I became friends with kids on my bus. I said my full name to him and he said ‘you are not related to Mrs.(my last name)and became like a rudder kid but we became friends.
Anyways I don’t have anymore time to type so bye. I hope you have a good morning/evening/afternoon.
Some people just have to learn the hard way
What a pleasure to always hear people having amazig ambiton, like " oh I'm gonna do nuclear engineering" or things like that
No I don't feel like a failure :)
I had a kid at my old school like that, since his dad was in nascar hall of fame, I left that school
I know he’s just 14, but as somebody who’s overweight and working to improve their health, and who was at that age too, this kid seems to be suffering from a lot of misconceptions. For starters, just because people get concerned about your health or aren’t attracted to extremely overweight people, does not mean they’re shallow. Second of all he’s clearly under playing that this is about his health, and he’s basically saying his parents are bad people because they’re listening to doctors.
I have no respect for that boys mom and dad and so glad he is happy now
That second story..that kid needs to grow up. Yes, he should go to fat camp. No, he has no say.
Imagine being that determined to have a lower life expectancy.
And that update. He's already got health conditions he chose to ignore. And then he suddenly realizes he doesnt understand the complexity of nutrition.
Hopefully he'll get better. Sad that his journey also destroyed his relationship with his parents.
@@benjie128 that whole claiming it was a "misdiagnosis" was just insane.
And that from someone with the name DoktorPepper, one of the unhealthiest things on earth. As you could obviously hear from the updates that the friend from the mother even didn't know she has a son makes it clear that the only reason the send him into it wasn't that he lose fat for his health it was that the wouldn't have to shame for him. The parents are shit. A little lesson about losing weight. If you yourself don't want to lose it then it's pointless. You don't have motivation and don't sees a use in it.
@@SMDoktorPepper exactly! I'm not sure how reliable his telling of the parents are either. It seems like they tried to get his to be healthy, and his rejection and anger towards that, plus the refusal to take medication, they probably thought he was going to die, they'd done what they could, and accepted nothing they did would change his trajectory. I dont recall if he said how old he was when he said his parents would leave him alone, but he was at least a high schooler and didnt need 24/7 surveillance. (I left my 17 y.o. nephew home alone overnight when I had to take mom to the hospital.) And if OPs parents had refused to buy junk food, he'd have posted how horrible his parents treated him, and probably go on a hunger strike.
As for his mom's friend who didnt know she had a son, very likely she didnt mention it bc they were effectively estranged at that point, and some people just cant accept disconnected families and continually ask, which could lead to OPs mom being very sad. Or it may just not have come up yet, especially if it was a new friend.
@@kevintull3302 the reason they sent him to fat camp was bc they were concerned for his health. The same why they fought to have him take his medication due to his developing heart condition. His continued refusal severed the parental bong to the point where his parents could never be viewed positive. How dare they try to get him to lose weight!
Tea have zero calories too.
The person on the thumbnail almost looks like that vegan teache😂
Story 2 glad he managed to get himself healthy. I actually agree with his actions at the fat camp. He never should have been forced to go. However his weight was going to cause problems down the line if he didn't address them. I'm glad he got the wake up call he needed and took it into his own hands. Good for you OP for losing weight on your own terms and dumping your toxic parents. Good luck on your health journey.
Sorry I cannot relate to the second story in anyway and even though he lost the weight I still feel he’s a massive jerk. He needs to fix his relationship with his parents that he messed up. They tried to keep him alive and he caused the problems. It won’t happen over night but he needs to fix that. At the very least apologize for his actions.
bro litterally said this cant be legal to people trying to save his life
To kid with health problems.
(Preface: I hated my cousin but that only frames how much more I think this means, because no matter how much I hated him for his bullying and personality I took his passing terribly)
My cousin passed away not long ago at the age of 26. Due to heart problems. He did all the things you describe. He was large, maybe 230-250lbs. Didn't take care of himself. He was told over and over again that he was running his body into the ground. He left behind a child that half our family didn't know about because of his choices to separate from us. He refused to stop doing stressful work. His operators licence was taken away, but he kept working (legal issue I know) because it was bad for his heart. He refused to take his medicine. Or take any steps to help himself. He even refused to do the bare minimum needed to be a valid candidate for receiving a heart transplant. Refusing it.
I don't know, nor do I pretend to know what was going through his mind. But our grandfather went through many health problems while we were growing up. When I was born grandpa was given 6 months to live because of various health complications. But he managed to keep going until I was 16, and by extension, my cousin was 13-14. During that time my grandfather was on a list to receive a transplant for a new heart and lungs, (both at the same time, because if they only did one of the 2. The weak original organ would weaken the new transplanted opposite organ) so it was a long wait.
Eventually he decided to say no to the transplant when it finally came around. Saying to give the organs to someone younger.
Idk if this experience influenced how my cousin saw his own health or not. But it shines a light to my own thoughts about how my cousin lived his life.
All in all, it's not the reference of "I don't care about losing 5 or so years when I'm old" you will be lucky to get to be old.
Found this when I pressed “gaming”, nice.
The Karen be gaming
13:21 This kid bro
The fortnite in the background 😂😂😂😂
I think is was second kids stepdad idea to send him to ‘fat camp’
What he searched: "What happens if I take heart medicine and I don't have a heart condition?"
Google: "You are going to die"
11:37 he needs to stop playing the victim
Bro wasn’t playing. He WAS the victim
kinda on the same journey. my thing started when i started drinking tons of water a day. i mean i drank gallons every day. ended up when i would go to the bathroom what came out was clear as the water i was drinking. now, i had a few friend that were military doctors and when i talked to them about the issues i was told "you are fine just hydrated." so trusting them i went on with my life until i was one the phone with another doc and i was feeling sick like the flu or something. my friend said i should just go to the hospital and have myself checked out. my response was if i don't feel better in the morning i would go. well, i went into my room and laid down and closed my eyes. when i was sure i heard something in the back of my mind say yeah got to sleep. i was up and dressed and heading to the hospital. so sitting there waiting when they took me back and started testing. the doc comes in and says ok we are going to admit you now. i was confused until he said we have no idea how you are still awake with your blood sugar the level it is you should be in a coma. needless to say i was listening now. as he told me i was type 2 and if i didn't change i would die in the next few years. ok after 5 days in the hospital to get my levels down i gave up the junk food and started watching what i ate and the main thing was i gave up bread. hit the gym doing aqua zumba. this was a lot of fun one in the water it took the weight off my knees plus (yeah i'm a perv) in a pool with ladies ranging from 18 to 80 was a lot of fun to jump around with and after the class soaking in the hot tub and just chatting. in a year i had dropped 60+ pounds and my type two was gone. that freaked the doctor out as he had never seen anyone drop type two that fast. so here i am now still working on the weight but, i look like a party balloon two weeks after the birthday. so much loose skin i think i hit the right breeze i could glide like a flying squirrel.
People have to want to change. good job
I feel the kid in the second story but I don't want to be fat! I myself am on a journey learning how to eat healthier and workout. It has been so tough but I have an amazing support system behind me! I started looking into family history and genetics to help me learn what to stay away from. I've lost 10 pounds so far and I'm excited to keep moving forward! To others in this situation as dori would say "just keep swimming" 😂 💖
Poor kid, I was all for him standing up for himself until he took it too far. I hope his health improves.
I had the same problem, i used to be very fat, but now, im dropping weight, no exercise, just not eating much, onr meal a day on weekdays( a fairly big meal though)
Hope this makes someone's day
"you are never too fat, never too skinny, never too strong, never too weak, never ugly but always pretty"
-someone wise
For:everyone
I can relate I went to high school that was the best in my area, ranked 43rd best high school at the time
I wasn’t rich but nobody cared tho, we were just good old friends
I didn’t encounter any spoiled brat tbh
Being fat is a good thing remember the soft part of pork is the healthiest part
title made my soul leave my body
Number two. Report your parents and school to cps. The shame of that alone will force them to leave you alone. I went through something similar with ADHD medication when I was a child and reported them to CPS. I'm going to tell you what. You've never seen people doing about face so quickly in your freaking life
In the 2nd story it's the parents fault. Most would blame the kid but it really isn't. His parents, teachers and principal failed to elaborate more into why he needed to go to fat camp or try to lose weight. They could've explained it to him about what would happen if he didn't do it instead of shaming him and gaslight him to believe he wanted it in the first place.
He's only in his teens and at that age of course they'd rebel or not understand until the guardian themselves need to show them. His parents negativity was already enough proof to why he almost had a heart attack in the first place. He felt no love, no support, no words of life advice that he needed this entire time to achieve what they wanted for him.
Hopefully those parents regret pushing that pressure onto him
Second story. The poor kid was very fat and didn’t know how to help himself until a literal wake up call. Congratulations to him for dropping 100lbs and finding workout buddies! Here’s to a long life
Try no sugar! That’s how my dad lost weight
Bestie you should watch the entire video first. He's already lost weight. This has been over with.
I can relate to the 2nd guy, I’m fat too but I am a bit lighter then him, I am working on losing weight so that’s a plus
Sorry but the overweight kid was entitled the parents were really concerned about his health. 255 pounds is extremely unhealthy he knows nothing about life… yea certainly a jerk. I side with the parents.
For the first story, body cams should be a requirement.
I think the second story isn’t just a “Jerk or not” deal. Both sides were wrong. He was wrong for neglecting his health and pretending like it didn’t matter to him, but everyone forcing him to change didn’t understand that with the way people are, if you tell someone to do something they’re more likely to not do it out of spite, even if they originally intended to. Sending him to “fat camp” pushed him further and made things worse. They needed to be actual parents and actually show him why he needs to change and convince him to want to change. But they didn’t, however we did get a good ending with the guy getting better
Weird my school bully is also named Hannah hmmmmm
Too harsh on the parents.
Funny how he can't see how young him was.
