Stable home, family.  Possibly stress from very academically-demanding school.  Yes, she is above healthy/average BMI.

Real world - these are teens.  I cannot expect my son to act to like a grownup at age 15.  He is above his age group's maturity and is trying to balance his own feelings, hers and feedback from the rest of the class.[/quote]

Actually, you can expect a teenage boy to have above average decency and consideration.  I wouldn't want the standard to be that he acts like an adult male, since [b]most adult men are shallow pricks[/b] about women's looks.  But as a mom, you can certainly expect him to treat her with kindness an to defend her if others are dissing her looks.  [/quote]

You do realize that this is hate speech, right?[/quote]
