You don't know many athletes, do you?

This thread illustrates just how girls get eating disorders.[/quote]

PP doesn’t know many teens, athletes or otherwise. [/quote]

I have two teen sons. Both play 3 sports each.

My daughter is only in elementary and everyone is stick skinny. I occasionally see a large girl in ballet but in her actual school, I can’t think of any large girls.

All my kids are thin. My boys are muscular. [/quote]

I haven't been a hundred lbs since 5th grade. You haven't even listed a height with that weight. I assure you my 5'7" teen would look skeletal at 100 lbs. 
[/quote]

My kids play tennis as their main sport. Those are the girls I see most.

Some girls are not thin. You are correct. I have seen some girls who are bigger than my sons.

My kid just started high school. Middle school girls look petite and thin and 100 pounds.

There are some kids in high school who look like grown men.[/quote]

My kids play tennis too and at the high school level, there are definitely plenty of girls that are not thin.  Not obese looking, but a variation in sizes for sure [/quote]

Pp here. My son is on the varsity tennis team. I just looked at their team photo from last year. Everyone is thin on the boys and girls team except 1 boy and 1 girl. They are a little thicker but everyone else looks lean.[/quote]

Many of the top ranked women’s players in the world you would not call thin.

The American that just lost in the US Open finals is 5’7” and 154.  Serena Williams wasn’t thin…muscular as heck, but not thin.[/quote]

We are talking about high school. Our team is full of thin blonde girls.[/quote]

Do you live in the south?

We know all the schools in Wash DC and what you’re saying does not ring a bell. Even at visi or NCS or very small parochial high schools. [/quote]

Our school has a mix of thin white and a few Asian girls. The girls are majority blonde. Boys team is also lean with white and Asian boys. Boys team isn’t as blonde. Like I said, I have teen boys.

The boys and girls have opposite schedules so I don’t see the girls. I just remember seeing the girls and they were very attractive and very blonde.[/quote]

I am confused…I gather your girls team isn’t anything special.  Top world ranked teen tennis players aren’t paper thin.

Even the nationally ranked (which probably will never be good enough to go pro) high schools kids aren’t what you would consider thin.

Is this supposed to be a reflection of top athletes or just lifestyle players doing it to stay thin but never planning for it to go anywhere.[/quote]

I never said the girls’ tennis team was good. I just said they were thin. Our school also isn’t majority blonde. The tennis team just seems very thin and blonde. There are a few beautiful girls on the team. They could be on a [b]nike ad[/b]. Our school could be OP’s school. School is full of fit thin athletic girls and boys.[/quote]

Nike uses highly competitive athletes in their ads
[/quote]

There is one girl who is gorgeous and blonde on the tennis team. She is probably the prettiest girl at the school. You are right. She is prettier than the girls on Nike ads.

I have boys who play tennis. They have brown hair.

Everyone is thin except one girl who is a little thick but certainly not fat at all.

Most of our school, like OP’s school, is wealthy, good looking and thin.[/quote]
