For some reason,this episode of"House" made me cry.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0606024/
House marathon on USA network
A morbidly obese ten-year-old girl has a heart attack, and her mother insists that House and his team look past her weight to find the diagnosis

The poor kid had NO friends in her upper-class private school because of her weight.It was so sad(spoiler-had a positive outcome)
Did anyone else see it,and am I just PMS'ing?

2. First of all, I don't know if I would have called her MORBIDLY obese.

She's obese, sure, but not morbidly.
I didn't cry. It pissed me off. Why are people teaching their kids to behave this way? A child should be taught that no matter what size, color, gender someone is, they are worth being kind to. I was the fat kid. I just don't understand why everyone thinks this behavior is OK. As if fat people are all unworthy of being kind to, friends with. And the way the TV shows always show the fat girls stuffing their faces. I'm fat because of a metabolic disorder, not because I stuff my face constantly. I wish people would get that.

3. It has been a while since I saw that episode so I am a little fuzzy

remembering some of the show, but House is mean to everyone. I am not sure about who else was mean, but I always expect really asshole-y stuff from Dr. House.

5. I was speaking in general.

Chase was an asshat, and Foreman called him on it. "WE GET IT, YOU HATE FAT PEOPLE!"
It was great.
