( sorry for my english)I don’t think the personal lives of these children are my concern… so why people need to care about how you feel about your weight. It’s just a poor little boy who acts like a brat bc he lives in hell and needs help (mentally too). It’s still a child. You are a big selfish baby who needs another job
