so a lady is handing fat-letters instead of candy to the kids she thinks are obese. and in my opinion i think its really messed up to make kids feel that way.because there just kids and they don't deserve to hear that because these kids just want to have fun and don't want to be treated this way so I can say I hate this lady -.-
ReplyDeleteThe lady in this article may be right/ wrong about giving out letter for the kids who trick or treating. she may be wrong because she may be making fun of the kids and the parents who are overweight. She might also be right because she could make some parents realize that they should get some exercise.
ReplyDeleteI think that what that lady is doing is wrong and rude and just not mature to be doing. She shouldn't ruin a special holiday for kids and especially for kids that are over weight that is totally unfair. We all know their parents made a mistake for letting them eat to much but we cant judge kids and make them feel miserable. Like the people said on the radio station just put up a sign saying you're not giving candy this Halloween instead of people getting mad at you for making their kids feel bad. Instead of being rude be nice and just talk to their parents and let them go have fun and get candy. If the do get lots of candy tell their parents to take the candy and give them some every now and then so the kids learn that would be better then to hurt someone's feeling and making them feel bad.
ReplyDeleteI think it is really messed up to give the kids those letters.
ReplyDeleteThe kids probably already get bullied and probably already are ashamed about it.
The girl should just not be giving out candy at all if she is going to do that.
She can go state her opinion some other way.
What she is doing is rude and will upset a lot of people.
Is it right to judge these little kids about there weight problem like that just cause they are over weight? I my opinion i think its a good thing that she is doing trying to get parents attention to stop there child from becoming more obese then they are. If you go to the street on Halloween you will see plenty kidds over weight and whos fault is it that therelike that? The awnwer is both parents and childer. It is like that because of the way they eat.
ReplyDeleteA lady is handing out fat letter to the kids that she thinks are overweight. And I think that she is doing a good job because she cares about peoples weight.Yeah it's fun to trick or treat but a lot of little kids have diabetes because they're overweight. So i agree she's doing a good thing.
ReplyDeletei made a mistake and i did it :)
ReplyDeleteIn my way of look at this women, she is doing right and doing good. She does the right thing to send letters home with the kids to their parents to get inside the parents mind and try to convince them to start getting their kids into a healthy way of living. Every day kids like me are getting bigger and bigger by the day, I actually try to lose some wight because sometime in the future I might get sick and that won't be good. This lady wants the kids in their neighborhood to become healthy and actually start eating healthy. Personally i give a lot of respect to this women. She is also wrong because if you look at it in a way she is more like making fun of these kids. Parents might find her rude because she is making fun of the parents kids.
