As a child, I was fat. I often _________ going to parties or other public places. I always found myself laughed at, even by my best _________.

Once in the seventh grade, an older boy kept _________ me "fatso (胖子)" on the bus. I was hiding in my _________. I wanted to cry. At that time I _________ my best friend would help me. _________, he didn't.

And then I grew up. I tried to _________ the way how others could treat me. I lost some weight, though I was still _________. Slowly, my sense of humor and kindness made me among the most _________ kids in school. As for my best friend on the bus, he no longer walked away from me.
