the kids in school

they say things

mean things

jimmy

[Applause]

i was picked online as a kid the jocks

and the cool kids they were always

teasing me

and i didn't know how to deal with the

pain so i would eat

i'd eat when i was happy i'd eat when i

was sad

even when i was bored but no matter what

i was always left

feeling empty

you know what i'm trying to say

i'm sure you are a great kid

at least he's a fat kid

truth is if you don't lose the weight

it'll never stop and believe me

that'll be the least of your troubles i

promise you that

jimmy what is wrong

jimmy i'm sick of being fun having

everyone make fun of me

i hate school i have no friends

[Music]

please don't read this page last friday

when i was sitting in the pep rally

i might as well have been alone in my

room

usually at school i'm invisible except

when someone wants to laugh at me

not then that's when i'm really in the

spotlight

the more they say things about me the

more i think that what they say might be

true

that i am a loser that i don't matter

and if i wasn't here no one would even

notice don't they know that i'm a good

person

that i'd love to be one of them to hear

the cheers because i'm on the team

because i'm popular they have everything

but they make fun of me

the fat kid all i can hear is rob

talking about my chest

apparently he comes to school to play

football

and make my life miserable

[Music]

when mom came in to say goodnight i had

to pretend i was asleep

so she wouldn't see me crying

though

that could be a problem even for the

master of love

hey sable do you see the news about that

she had to leave where she needed all

mind oh sir

i don't see anybody new how about this

rob thuman star quarterback

oh no all right everybody turn to page

85.

why wouldn't you play romeo i don't know

most of the girls there

now everybody in school knows about it

don't talk to me about your problems at

you think it's all about the way you

look

let me tell you something jimmy

winterpuck there are way

worse things than being fat some of us

have scars that can't be healed

by running around the block

up jimmy you think you're the only one

with problems

everyone's gonna forget about that

stupid party

i thought they were cool you got

[Music]

the pile of guts was a black blob of

flies that buzzed like a saw

after a while these flies found simon

gorge they alighted by his runnels of

sweat and drank

they tickled under his nostrils and

played leapfrog on his thighs

they were black and iridescent green and

without number

in front of simon the lord of the flies

hung on his stick and grinned

at last simon gave up and looked back

saw the white teeth and dim eyes

the blood and his gaze was held by that

ancient

inescapable recognition

[Music]

oh no

and nobody knows where he is

okay we will who is it

jimmy i got some bad news

paul's dad is dead he committed suicide

oh my god and paul's gone

yeah where's paul

nobody knows

it's better to be born lucky

[Music]

my friend paul is gone nobody knows

where he is

[Music]

he ran away after his dad died

they never got along but i know how much

paul wanted his dad to love him

[Music]

he used to tell me how they were going

to go to baseball game together

[Music]

but they never did

[Music]

one day nothing endures

not a tree not love

not death by violence now i know what it

means

and how it feels the world is different

and i'm worried about my friends

there's nothing i can do about it

hey buddy

you feel better

let's go

hey rob what do you want uh

how's it going fat freshmen are not

allowed to talk to me

how things going wrong great

it's getting better

[Music]

cause i won't let you break me down

[Applause]

[Music]

failure is an inevitable part of life

it does not mean that we are defeated

forever

or that we should give up failure

is a mystery and it is even divine

it humbles us and it makes us more

compassionate to

others it often is god's way

of leading us to our true selves or

to a better position in our lives

how often have you heard someone say

it's a good thing i didn't get that job

or promotion or scholarship or whatever

some experiences that seem like

tragedies at the moment lead us to

opportunities that we would not have

found otherwise

amen there is no way that we can know

and love god except through the

discovery of human intimacy

and community we must

open our souls to the love that humanity

offers

every day every hour

every moment is sacred

and we must embrace life

as if it is both fragile

and strong if we do

we have to get better god he will turn

our failures into success

i know

[Music]

and we are all tested

but how you respond

will define your life

giving up is easy

getting back up is hard

[Music]

[Music]

primary suspect

hey miss pope i can't believe this is my

last journal entry for the year

i remember complaining about writing in

a journal boy was i wrong

it helped me make it through some tough

days writing my thoughts on paper has

made it easier for me to say things to

people

yesterday at church youth group i was

asked to talk about how i lost weight

this year

what i ended up talking about was how my

whole world has changed

looking back this has been an amazing

year not all of it has been good

actually a lot of it wasn't there were

times when i almost lost hope

but i'm thankful i had my church i had

my friends

and i had my family in the end i

realized it wasn't just about losing

weight

it was about figuring out who i am and i

learned how to figure that out myself

when you're finished with my journal i'd

like to get it back

my kids might get a kick out of knowing

their dad was a big fat kid

anyway thanks for everything miss pope

sincerely your student jimmy winterbach
