AAAAAAAAA IT WAS AWESOME

Lowkey funny actually, because I went to see the movie with my sweet boyfriend, and we were almost the only people at the cinema. The whole place was so empty I thought I missed the date or something, but no. We sat down without snacks, without anything, and the film started.
Turns out the whole story was about a preteen/teen guy who is genetically "fat" and got fat-shamed and bullied by his classmates, doctors, etc. But he was such a cutie. He had a band with his besties, and he had a crush on a cute blonde girl because she was pretty and she liked cake just as much as he did. How cute.
So apparently he got bullied and super sad, he got into fights and became really introverted. People tried to help him, but things just got worse. No, no more spoilers—find out yourself what happened next. But this movie was really beautiful, really something for my taste.

I wholeheartedly recommend this for everyone—for those who got bullied, for those who had an eating disorder, or even a split family.

My family is big and whole, but I could still connect to this masterpiece of a child movie through other things. Loved how the movie portrayed the "fat kid." He was actually funny, and when they bullied him, he actually stepped up for himself and proved them his right. I was never able to do that, xd—at least never without tears in my eyes—so this really helped me give a better, kinder perspective from where I could look at my younger self.
Now this whole preteen childhood era seems nostalgic and kind, like if I was watching or remembering an old fairytale I loved. Even though in that era of my life I literally attempted, not only once. It's really important to see some representation of the situation you are in.
Cuz that representation could show you a different perspective—like, for example, this movie portrays the victim of the bullying as an actually cool guy. Like he's pretty chill, but when needed he will stand up for his friends and himself, and his friends would step up for him. I think this is an awesome movie for children, and I can't wait to grow up, have a child, and show them some beautiful pieces of media like this one.

If you are struggling, always reach out. But be careful with what audience you reach. It can be a stranger on the internet, a long-time passed artist, one of your relatives, or your childhood best friend. You can never know what saves a life—you can only recognize what destroys one.

And please, for God's sake, don't be the bully.
