I was fat-shamed

FYI - When I was in high school, my friend had a sister some of the others guys thought wasn't all that attractive. I worked at nearby restaurant on the weekends with her and we became good friends. I really liked her and thought she was pretty. She knew My friends were going to the prom and asked me to take her. I said no, and not much else. Her feelings were hurt, she cried and never came back to work.
I was a young handsome athletic guy and obviously couldn't be seen at the prom with someone my friends didnt think was hot.
Over the next 40+ years including job layoffs, becoming morbidly obese, more failures than I can count and having kids including daughters, I now regret this as one of the biggest failures in my life. If I could go back and make it right, I would but I can't.
For now, I can only hope it helped me learn and I'll probably made a number of different choices as an adult from that experience.
As I mentioned before, I don't feel bad for you, as your on a path towards something positive. Hopefully, after the young man gets the "ugliness" out of his system, he'll learn something too.
