When overweight people walk down the street they often hear people calling them fat or sending signals that you can't fit in here. Some other ways they are discriminated against occur when they are trying to find a job or get into college. Also they have less opportunities than average size individuals because they are overweight.

Overweight individuals have harder times finding a job than average size people. Overweight people are discriminated by the way they look and not their ability for working:
