Obesity is a very "touchy" subject in today's youth, especially American youth. "Why am I the only one here?" brings humor to the dreaded question of: Why aren’t there more obese teenagers in the gym? The narrator makes use of the statistics gathered without causing the youth audience to fall dead in their tracks for listening to a broken record. The story’s structure is well put and informative. In all, the humorous intro and outro, the strong structure, and the interviewees make this piece one to be heard by everyone in our generation.
