Friend is really skinny. Is it a choice or body type?

[Anonymous]

my crush is a boy. We're in underclassmen highschoolers. He is half Asian half white. Okay he is skinny, and I have nothing against skinny guys, I think he's really cute, he's just painfully skinny. Like, his shoulders poke out and he looks almost hollow. He eats well, and plays baseball. He has an older brother with a similar body type, very skinny also but not as much so. Is him being skinny a lack of excersise and muscle, or just the body type he was born with? or both? and do skinny boys grow out of it? Will his body ever fill in? Help?

Its there body type its all in the genetics. I myself am personally skinny I can't help that though because I was always tiny growing up. But I am sure it has something to do with how I was born. And plus I have a fast metabolism as well. I don't think being skinny is by choice, everyone's body is built differently. It may just be hard for him to put on weight because of his fast metabolism. As he gets older it should start to slow down.

teenagers are either skinny fat or average. you dk a persons body type till their growing is done and settled, if he eats well and exercises its probably just his growth spurt.

It's both genetics and diet. Guys don't really fill in until 21ish and some beyond that. Also If he eats primarily an Asian diet he might also not grow as big.
