The bullying of the young girl needs to be stopped whatever the reason. I think you are wonderful for making this quilt for this young girl. I can imagine how thrilled she will be when she sees it!
Well, as far as the PR and Health teacher being heavy, I would bet you will quite a few "heavy" people who are in better physical condition than some of the thinner counterparts. Plus, knowing that I SHOULD eat a certain amount of food, what are good and bad calories and how much exercise I should get is a WORLD of difference from my actually doing it. Having studied nutrition, I KNOW can teach someone what to do and what to eat, but that chocolate cake....can't stay away!Maybe it's the same with the teacher!
