How will she ever make it in the workforce.
Not an issue. She is autistic and will be paid by the gubmint to survive.
While she is heavy and unfortunate looking, what is the point of telling her so every day? Why have her parents not provided a healthy diet?

I can't say for sure she has ASD, it's a lot harder to tell with teenagers when they may not be on the lower end of the spectrum.
However if her bullying is due to some repeated behaviors she may have, aversion to certain things, inappropriate social question/conversation etc, then there's a good chance she may have ASD.
Twenty years ago the likelihood of being diagnosed or I should say incidence was 1:100-150, now it's 1:68. So yeah there is cause for concern.

That first sentence is not true at all.
She can work, she'd need an appropriate assessment to determine what may be best for her.
Maybe she can work best in a lab with little or not distractions that could cause a major deviation from her daily tasks

And with her low self-esteem she's probably going to drop trou for the first guy that pays her anything close to meaningful attention, and then wind up pregnant. From there we get into Idiocracy territoriy...

Hope it never happens to one of your kids. Kids can be some cruel arse people to other kids. Especially young girls. That's some brutal stuff these kids have to endure at times . Easy to dismiss it , if you don't witness it.

I just don't get it. Help me out here.
I'm almost 50. As a young child, I was smaller and "The runt" of my class and age group. I was the easy target, called things I didn't even know what they meant...and I turned out fine.
Bullying has been around since humans appeared on earth. When did we as humans, whatever age, lose the capability to be our own persons and not let words, fricking words, cause someone to have their own personal graduation ceremony with no other students there...
WTF???
Yeah yeah old people are worthless and don't get how hard it is to be a 15 yr old nowadays...blah blah blah

But will she? There are programs that pay people for any little malady. She can compound that money with food stamps and welfare. I hope she takes the harder path and is successful in a meaningful career path.

The social media and Internet makes it worse today.
Used to you can fight with your bare hands and it solved problems nowadays you can't, you either get arrested or killed

A few thoughts on this one:
First, I think the school board showed appropriate compassion for a hurt student. The girl was suffering. If they had the means to help her, then, good for the school board. BUT...
This sets a bad precedent, both for the bullied and the bullies themselves. Do it once for one kid, and you'll be doing it again for dozens of kids who follow. The message is... if you feel bullied, we will pay for your safe space. You don't have to learn to stand up for yourself. As for the bullies, you're letting them win. You're sending the message that if you bully someone, you will stay, and the weak kid will go. That's fricked up.
Lastly, if your kid is bullied, they need to either learn how to survive it or stop it. I feel sorry for these kids, but the world is a nasty place with a lot of real, viable assholes in it. Hiding them from the assholes, as a strategy, won't work in the real world. It will just mean that they will eventually be found by a more determined breed of a-hole. You have to show your kid how to function in a society that is not always nice, and often cruel.

Bullying is the problem and anyone picking on someone weaker physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually can eat shite but the solution is in the growth of the victims. Teaching self confidence, teaching to physically defend, working on developing strengths etc. this is how you end bullying

When we were kids, you could go home. You could get a break from that crap.
Now it can be constant with social media. Easy response it to tell kid to unplug. It still will not necessarily stop.
Kids can be terrible.....more animals than human

While I've definitely been guilty of making light of people's misfortune, it would be incredibly tragic to be a young female and be so unattractive.
Unfortunately for her, bullying is just the first step in the disadvantages she will face the rest of her life because of her crappy gene pool.
