[quote=Anonymous]Have to agree with this, and I think anyone who doesn't is just being PC. I don't think the OP (or at least those responding) is saying that anything about teens' sexual attractiveness -- but rather just their inappropriate size.

Back in the day I feel like if someone showed you prom pics of their niece or cousin -- you'd maybe think that her dress was ugly or she was making a weird face in the pics, but you wouldn't be utterly shocked. Recently I've been shown prom pics and I've thought "THAT is your 18 yr old cousin???" Carrying that much weight just makes these teens look like they're 10-15 yrs old than their actual age. And apparently these teens are so fragile that their parents or doctors don't want to say anything for fear of causing an eating disorder. Guess what -- if it's ever "easy" to lose weight in life, it's in your teens. If they don't lose it now, don't think they'll just stop gaining -- instead they'll continue to gain through their 20s-30s and then be forced to struggle to lose it later if health issues develop. Why roll the dice on that just to be PC and to not harm "self esteem" -- of which these kids have plenty, as the chubby kid 20 yrs ago stayed covered up even if it looked odd to be the only kid in jeans when everyone else was in shorts -- no so much any more.[/quote]
