[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they look like they are in their thirties, complete with muffin tops, cankles, saddle bags, potbellies. 
When I was young, teens had flat stomachs and cute hips. We looked good in tight jeans and bikinis. 
These poor kids aren't even going through that phase of having a nice figure. They go straight from tween years to chubby. 
I thought that everyone could remember a time when they blossomed and looked great. [/quote]

completely agree OP.  I know you're being hung out to dry for your comment, but its the truth.  FWIW, they also know its the truth but political correctness being what it is....[/quote]

Unfortunately, it is the truth.  But I'd add that teenage boys are pretty chubby too - it's not just the girls.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that kids don't play outside much anymore.  Parents are too afraid to let their kids go outside by themselves and play like they did back in the 70s/80s.

Also, the unbelievable amount of junk food which kids seem to eat these days.

It's sad for those kids.  And this is not fat-shaming - just a fact that if you start out obese in childhood your health prospects later in life are not good.[/quote]

The boys are usually at an age where they are in that rapid growth phase and they don't "settle" until age 20 or so, then they spread. Sad overall. [/quote]
