Cool Network for fat teens?

Hello!
Us, it is important to know your opinion!
We are creating a new site for teens who have complexes and difficulties in communicating with their peers. Our community will help them solve problems, achieve success, to get acquainted with like-minded, help each other and find a pair.
What do you think this site will be of interest to them?
Maybe the Internet is similar resources?
Do I need to do paid ads, or some options, and what is an acceptable price?
Please tell us what you think about this, this, we will be able to make a really useful site for you.
Thank you.

I don't think we can tell you how to build or market a website here. But certainly we can tell you what issues are of interest for teens who have problems. You mention fat in the title of your thread - are you looking for weight loss, or to help teens who are bullied, picked on, rejected, don't fit in? And is fat the only problem you are looking to help solve?

Got it! My son did a whole project on this in high school - wrote a play about it that was performed in middle schools. Basically he found that the bullies were themselves bullied, either at home or at school, and found a way to make that their step to power. Self esteem is huge, but also very important for faculty to make school the kind of environment where bullying is not reinforced, where it is not tolerated. One of my son's teachers in 5th grade worked with him to identify ways he could deflect bullying, and not attract it to himself. Sometimes children and teens provoke bullies with their reactions - not blaming the victim here - but some reactions feed more bullying, and some diffuse it. So I will ask him to take a look and recommend some resources for you.
