writes:I have been with my boyfriend for almost a year, when we first started going out his friends would call me fat which I don't think I am not being big headed, it stopped after about three months and didn't start up again for ages except the odd little dig which everyone gets off immature boys. Just this week though a boy that me and my boyfriend hardly know called me fat not to my face to someone else. I paid no attention and after speaking to my mum forgot all about it. Then a girl called me fat to her friend today outside english and her friend said you do no she just walked past you.I ignored her and carried on, I told my boyfriend but he has always refused to say anything to anyone. I told him about this week and he said he doesnt think it will happen again. Well when it did with this girl he said ignore it and I said I would but its not a few people its your friends and random people and its been happening for ages. I spoke to my friend about splitting up with my boyfriend because its not fair on him and its only been happening since I have been with him. He asked me what we were speaking about so I told him, his reaction was, you wouldnt dare, I will hurt your feelings so bad if you do. I explain that im not going to I was upset for him and me. He got angry and said dont feel bad on me, its your problem not mine. What should I do about the people saying it and what should my boyfriend be doing to help me, is he being reasonable?

 I think he's just a bit stunned that you'd consider breaking up with him because of some petty name-calling. Perhaps he should be standing up for you a bit more, but, frankly, I can see why he doesnt make a big thing of it.It's just a small insult: just walk right on by every time. I wont say "sticks and stones etc" because I know that's a load of crap from experiance. If it bother's you that much, and your boyfriend still wont budge, I suggest you speak to your parents or a member of staff at school: they can probably advise you much better than I can

 Your boyfriends sounds like he just can't be bothered to deal with it. Talk to him and say to him 'Look, your my boyfriend, you are meant to look after me. People are picking on me so what are you going to do about it?' If he doesn't say anything then I would dump him because it sounds like you deserve much more than that. Good Luck xx
