low self-esteem?

My son is 9y.o. He is overweight since 1 y.o., has ADD. he is complain often what other boys teasing him at school or on play-ground. He can't tolerate if anybody lough at him, even for a little joke he'll hide somethere and cry. when he was younger he would start a fight if someone tease him, now he cryes. I read an article about bulling, and thought may be he has a low self-esteem, so I ask my son to wrighte down the good things about himself. He just wrote 3 things! How can I help him to raise his self-esteem?

How is his weight doing as you can get him going on healthy eating and exercise thats the first thing, as he looses weight he will feel better. basket ball in your yard is good, walking, is good, soccer, gym ...Don't have foods in the house that he will be tempted by, let him come with you shopping and choose some healthy foods he likes . A lot of bullying does go on and maybe a talk with the teacher would help you find out if that is happening get the school involved in stopping the bullies .good luck
