subordinate clause used as a noun
This sentence needs to be a subordinate clause used as a noun. How do a change it to make it correct?
See example:
Disliked and bullied, obese children often have lower self-esteem than the average child.

Actually, the sentence looks correct, but your assignment wants you to know how a subordinate clause can be used as a noun.
A subordinate clause, or dependent clause, is part of a sentence that creates a fragment if used by itself and begins with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun, and contains both a subject and a verb.
Here are my sources:

My mind is currently drawing a blank on how to reword your sentence to where it will use such a clause as a noun.
