  • A 10-year-old boy who was being bullied because of his weight has become an internet sensation on TikTok after two brothers stepped in. This past month, videos of fourth-grader Jacob Whitmore training with Harry, 36, and Joe Freeman, 31, have accumulated over 25 million views.

The article from Newsweek discusses the story of a mother who shared her experience on Reddit about her 10-year-old son being bullied for his weight. The bullying has led to a significant decrease in the child's self-esteem, causing him to avoid activities he once enjoyed, like swimming. In response, the mother has been trying to encourage a healthier lifestyle by involving the whole family in fitness activities, such as walking, running, and cycling.

Despite these efforts, the mother is concerned about the potential negative psychological impact of focusing too much on weight loss, fearing it might exacerbate her son's issues with self-worth. The article highlights the delicate balance between promoting health and avoiding the pitfalls of weight stigma, emphasizing the need for a supportive and positive approach to fitness and body image.
