[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.
Anyway, thanks for all the helpful advice. It is just kind of disheartening to come back here and see 4+ responses essentially telling me that my kids is fat and I should be doing something about it. He is a twelve year old kid, yeah he might go out and have a couple slices of pizza with some friends once and a while, he looks exactly like his dad did at that age, and his dad turned out to be fine.

Given the tone of some of the "recommendations", you can see where the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.  There is absolutely never a justification for bullying. Skinny kids get bullied too.  It's irrlevant and a total non-sequiter.  You may have invited that reponse with the subject line, but don't let idiotic anonymous posters make you somehow feel culpable for the abhorant behavior of your child's peers.

I don't have the answers, but I know damned well you should ignore some of the ones offered here.  You are right to take a proactive approach and consider every available option.  There are support networks for kids dealing with this which may be worth pursuing as well.[/quote]
