[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teen girls are usually thin and weigh 100 pounds.[/quote]

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.

I agree. Even my very slim (23 in waist at almost 17) daughter is 108-115. When she was 100lb she was struggling with disordered eating. And this was when she was more like 14. I can’t imagine my daughter any smaller, at 5’4.5.

I do think 115-120 might be a typical weight for girls this age. If any are 100 lb theY are well below average height and frame.  I know she only has one friend who is overweight. And I know this is tough for this girl to be the fat friend. Very few girls I see are big even at our regular public school [/quote]

I’m the person who wrote the 100 pound comment. I don’t actually know how much any of these girls weigh. They look skinny to me. My also thin boys weigh around 120-130 pounds. These girls are shorter and thinner so I just assumed they weigh 100. They probably weigh 110-120? I weigh 125 pounds and they are significantly skinner than I am.[/quote]

Thank you for confirming my long held suspicion that everyone on DCUM is absolutely cr*p about guessing weight.  But instead of saying that, they like to spout off.[/quote]
