Social consequences: teasing, ostracism, trouble fitting into tight spaces and probably others.
If you do not know the word "consequences", use a dictionary to look it up.

Olay. :)
The question is asking about the potential effects or consequences that Darlene may experience due to her obesity. It is talking about both the physical consequences (related to her health and well-being) and the social consequences (how she may be perceived or treated by others) of being overweight.
Physical consequences of obesity include an increased risk of developing various health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, joint problems, sleep apnea, and certain types of cancer. It can also lead to a decreased quality of life, decreased mobility, and reduced overall lifespan.
Social consequences of obesity can be quite significant as well. Individuals who are overweight or obese may face social stigma, discrimination, bullying, and body shaming. They may experience low self-esteem, body image issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. They might also struggle with limited opportunities in areas like employment, education, and social activities.
To answer the question, you would need to explain the potential physical and social consequences of obesity that Darlene may experience based on the information given.
