[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullying or teasing a 12-year-old about weight is NEVER okay. His size is nobody's business but the family and their pediatrician. Have we learned nothing about the damage that "teasing" can do to children?? I find this thread appalling. It's no surprise that the kids at the school are judgmental and bullying, if they're being raised by the parents on this list. [/quote] +1000. I can't believe how many people are giving advice on how to make the kid lose weight. 140 lbs is not "fat", it may be overweight on the BMI chart, but I have major issues with that chart anyhow. My kid is 95% percentile in height and 90% in weight, there is nothing fat about him. However, even if he were carrying a few extra lbs I would be devistated if any kid teased or bullied my kid. I have no advice OP, just sypmathy. Just work on increasing his self-worth as much as possible.[/quote]
