"Sleeves" by Amy Hunt

Amy has always felt embarrassed about her weight. Everyday at school, her friends converse about being overweight when they are not, which makes Amy feel even worse about herself. She feels very uncomfortable even around her friends, and feels that they judge her by her appearance on the outside, and not whats on the inside. Weight is a large issue today, due to the stick-thin girls in magazines showing society that that is what is supposed to be the norm for everyone, but it is not. Everyone is beautiful in their own skin.
