[Scott-M28180]

Unfortunately, one of the most discriminated groups is the overweight; regardless of gender. I'd guess that in addition to the appearance issue, there's an assumption that overweight people have little self-control -- even though we all know that's not true in every case. A study of how teachers interact with their students showed the expected preference for the (usually attentive) girls over the (more distracted) boys. The group that was most overlooked however, was the overweight children. This is particularly harmful when they get the same message from their peers; not to mention that this is likely occurring at a very impressionable age.
