How do I find a boyfriend?

Please don’t make fun of my weight!

So I’m 16 years old, 5”4 and 270lbs. I know that’s a lot and I’ve tried to lose weight but it hasn’t really worked.

I’ve never had a boyfriend but I want to experience a relationship before I graduate high school. How do I try and put myself “out there” to try to find someone? I feel like it’s because of my weight because most of the girls at my school are twigs and all of my friends are skinny and good looking.

I feel weird asking stuff like this!
