Dear John,

I am sorry that you have a negative body image. This means that you feel bad about your body. One reason that you have a negative body image might be that your parents tell you that you are fat. Please do not get plastic surgery because it can be dangerous. Instead, try eating more vegetables.

Sincerely,Teacher Ari
