This is supposed to be a forum to help parents/families on and yet the back and forth here is anything but civil. OP it might be just as important to helping your son find an activity which would be a positive interest for him, build his self-esteem, get him moving and offer the chance of friendships with peers with similar interests.  The could be via a high school service group, other type of high school club, community youth rec program in swimming, soccer etc., church service group etc.  Another option would be to take on a "family" gym club membership and some do have good deals to try it out first to get him up, out and moving.

I think talking to the principal or guidance counselor to alert them to what is coming down is wise.  At the same time at home it is important to see how you might be able to tailor your cooking to healthier meals, limit  "junk food" for all.  Also, consider what his home routine is like at night and on the weekend to find ways to see that he is engaged in positive things of interest to him rather than just watching tv or being on his own.  I also think for any child/teen that parents need to be in control of the various electronic gadgets and access to them, especially if other teens are setting their sites on being "nasty" to one at their school etc.[/quote]
