"You look like you came from a concentration camp."
There was a smile along with the comment in the school shower room. It was not meant to be cruel. Just friendly joshing, of course.

Always the skinniest one in the school classroom. The thinnest of the boys.

It should be easy now to shrug off the calls of runt.
Being loved helps.
Right?
