Search Results: am i overweight for my age

More so referring to young children, because I feel that after a certain age, children become more self-aware about what’s healthy versus not-so-healthy to eat and have enough knowledge to make the decision themselves whether or not to be more health-conscious and to pay closer attention to the things they put in their bodies. Y’know, kind of like how some preteens might choose to try being vegetarian for a couple years because they realize their morals diverge from their parents when it comes to the consumption of meat.

Regardless, younger children don’t have that same awareness and haven’t developed that level of understanding yet. They don’t know what eating too much or eating the wrong things will do to their bodies. They’re likely to eat whatever’s available to them whenever they feel like it, which may be when they’re bored, sad, angry, just want something to chew on, etc. instead of just when they’re actually physically hungry.

I think it’s up to the parents to take care of their children, to feed them on a schedule, and to teach them good eating habits in order to keep them healthy and happy until they’re able to do that for themselves. If a parent doesn’t take on that responsibility and lets their kid eat themselves to obesity, I personally consider that neglect and borderline child abuse, the same as if a parent underfed their kid to the point that they were nothing but skin and bones.

Since some girl actually did this in real life, I'll change her name. She'll be Sophie. She's 12 years old.

- Sophie is kind of overweight and has moderate acne. She gets harrassed by bullies at school.
- She's asked out on a school dance by a loner (her same age) no one likes. He gets bullied too.
- She accepts the offer.
- When caught nearly making-out or so, she (to save herself of further humiliation) pushes him and claims he attacked her.
- Loner gets jumped and attacked a couple times by the jerks
- Loner and the jerks all get suspended
- Loner gets bullied even more than before and he moves to another school, not to be heard from again
- Sophie keeps it quiet but after so much guilt, tells the truth 6-8 years later

Let's say the person is only 10 pounds overweight. Will losing the 10 pounds make them appear younger?

FYI I'm much younger than whatever age I have up there. I don't want anybody knowing my real age. So it's not like I'm old.
