A person's value shouldn't be based on how big or little they are. Or what color thier skin is. Or their religion. Or ANYTHING that is beyond their own personal morals, choices, and behavior to others.

We're going thru the exact same thing. I've lost a couple inches this summer, and people seem to respect me more. It's sad, but that's just the way the world works.
I completely agree about the instant gratification. I think it's touched many aspects of society. Only some people prefer to put in the work instead of finding ways around it or finding loopholes.
