I don't think other kids in the novel would be concious of Carl's size because it hasn't been an issue for anyone else but him. With the media presenting only skinny 'perfect' body images, being over weight would be an insecurity for anyone. The other teens in the book accepted Justine as a person and she is considered obese, I think this is because she is comfortable with how she is. When Justine has the pizza night everyone talks to Carl despite his size. Carl's size does not effect anyone else in the book.
