Book Report #2

I read the book “The Earth, My Butt and Other Big Round Things”What I learned from the book: Virginia is a fifteen year old girl that is over weight and is teased about it. Her best friend named Shannon, moved away to Walla Walla for the whole school year… leaving Virginia friend less for a whole year. Virginia continues to gain weight because she is depressed about her life. It’s not ok to eat when you feel depressed or when you feel bored. Eat only when you’re hungry. Also don’t feel bad about what you weigh because it’s just a number. I learned that if you feel like you are over weight that you should talk to someone about it. Virginia was depressed about her weight and she really needed someone to talk to and help support her through her struggle without Shannon. If she wasn’t so pressured about her weight, then it most likely would have been easier to survive at school and at home.
