Rob Ford says he's been bullied over his weight

Mayor advises kids to report bullying

TORONTO - Mayor Rob Ford says he’s been bullied in the past.
Ford admitted Monday he’s been picked on for his weight as he kicked off Bullying Awareness Week at City Hall.
“When you’re overweight like I’ve been my whole life, (you get) made fun of, and it’s not good growing up,” Ford told press conference.
“There are many different types of bullying but being called fat, all that stuff, it bothers you but you have to deal with it.”
The mayor said he addresses bullying on the high school football team he coaches.
“We won’t tolerate that,” he said.
As for any advice to children being bullied, Ford was blunt.
