[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, but with those stats at only 13 years old, your daughter is a little chunky.  You are welcome to call it "curvy" if it makes you feel better.  It doesn't excuse the other girls' behavior, but you seemed confused as to why they called her "fat."  It is because she is overweight.[/quote]

I really, really hope you dont have daughters.[/quote]

I do have daughters... one is 13 and one is 16.  I guess I should amend my post.  20 years ago, we would call OP's DD an overweight kid.  (Remember that she is just 13... not an adult female.)  Now our standards are different.  Which isn't surprising given that [b]40%[/b] of American adults classified as obese (not overweight, but OBESE).  But that is just my opinion.  Or maybe I am just cranky today after being squished by 2 such obese Americans on my flight today.[/quote]

NP.

Kids BMI charts are different than adult BMI charts. For a 13 year old girl, OPs DD is actually in the top 18% of what is considered a healthy BMI for that age and sex. She might not be “fat”, but she’s definitely a bigger girl. [/quote]

She has said her daughter has gone through puberty and has hips and boobs. No one at 5'5" and 120 pounds is a bigger girl. She may not be skinny but she is a perfectly normal healthy weight. I was 5"6" and 120 lbs with big boobs all through high school and I was thin. I was athletic but even without the muscle there is no way at the same height and weight I would have been overweight.
