- You cannot get anyone to stop laughing at overweight people or anyone who does not particularly fit into their personal criteria.

- Not all people poke fun at overweight people.

- If you are a friend of an overweight person, you can stand up for them. Once you do, you are beginning to stop the chain reaction of crude jokes that are hurting your friend (or yourself, if you are overweight.)

- People who throw stones at glasshouses get theirs in the end. I know I've seen it many times.

- The person who is receiving the remarks could say, 'I can still lose weight, but being mean spirited isn't so fixable".

- Generally, this behavior begins in High School, High School isn't forever, and they will soon forget about the person who is the subject of their jokes.

- Being overweight is not healthy so if this is a friend (or simply yourself) join Weight Watchers and get moving and start losing some of that weight, but do it for YOU and not for THEM!

- Ask them what they would feel like if they were visibly different and had people laughing at them.

- Heavy people can lose weight more easily than mean people can change their hearts.

- Don't hand out unsolicited advice. Some people have hereditary predisposition to obesity, some have control issues in other areas of their lives.

- Telling heavy people to get moving is as helpful as shoving cream pie at an anorexic. Food is usually NOT the problem, but an outward manifestation of an inner problem.

- Unconditional caring and acceptance would be much more helpful.

Educate them about the impact of weight stigma on individuals' mental health and self-esteem. Encourage them to practice empathy and respect for individuals regardless of their size. Set an example by not participating in or condoning derogatory behavior towards overweight people.

How do you stop being paranoid?

It depends on whether you are truly paranoid as in a mental illness such as schizophrenia. The only way for a schizophrenic to stop paranoia is to take their medication properly.If you just mean that you have mild paranoid feelings once in a while, the way to stop that is to think realistically. If you have a thought that says something along the lines of "everybody's looking at me and laughing at my clothes," you counter that by saying "Realistically, some people might look at me because people always look at something new. However, people laughing are probably laughing at whatever they were already talking about and not laughing at me."
