My analysis:
Being overweight and a loner makes her vulnerable to being bullied Those who conduct anti-bullying workshops have to work at countering negative stereotypes about obesity.

Bullies target loners because they are unprotected. So never be alone. Don’t make yourself an easy target for bullies. If Alex Moore keep herself fit and learn to make friends, she might not have lost her life.
