[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I appreciate the constructive comments posted.  A few more bits of info:

Weight gain due to overeating - my son sees it and she admits to it.  She started gaining some last year but most came over the summer.  Due to their schedules, they only saw each other once since school got out.

They have known each other and been friends for 5 years.  First real relationship for both.  It is typical HS dating - officially together, casual, yet independent.

I couldn't care a lick about how much she weighs.  I only care about helping a son who has come to me for advice and about avoiding a lingering body issue for her as she gets older.

In a perfect world, this is a learning experience and positive growth experience for both - and a situation where they either continue their relationship or preserve the friendship.[/quote]

A 15 year old [male or female] who sees someone [b]ONCE[/b] over summer break [b]IS NOT[/b] in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.  Unless they were out of town. Is this poster for real?
If so, she sounds like a friend and they sometimes "dated" or went as dates to events like dances and homecoming.  Or she was his hook-up buddy.  20 pounds in a few months can be a huge weight gain if she is less than 5'5".  If she is tall [ie 5'10"]and was working out for softball, field hockey etc it is not a huge weight gain.  [/quote]
