health advisory Diet Diet 2007-11-11 21:04:20

Who else thinks that anyone 17 or under should be BANNED from asking all those obnoxious "Am I fat?" and "How can I lose 10 pounds?" questions? Am I right or am I right!?!? ;)

Answer:

You are right! And anyone under 15 shouldn't be allowed on certain ByeDR.com topics.

You are right, ^_^. They should post a huge link saying "press here to see height/weight chart". *rolls eyes* or the people who repeat "how to lose weight?" questions....my god....

---

No. Sadly, childhood obesity is running rampant in America.

i disagree with you but i dont wanna start an argument ;-)

but just think about this if u were a teenager and u thought u were fat, u would want someone to tell u that u werent right?? i would be really messed up if i didnt have anyone to talk to it about, and people u dont no r good cuz u dont care wat they're gonna think about u

Yeah, and also those questions giving their height & weight and asking if that is the normal weight. I'm beginning to think that ByeDR.com should have a link on the home page so that people can automatically be sent to a weight chart so they can see for themselves instead of asking it here. Anyway, you know it's pretty easy to just Google it and find a weight chart on some of the medical websites.

no i think its good it gives them people to talk to about this instead of keeping it all bottled up to themselves. i know it helps me.

The "Am I fat?" ones are ridiculous, but if they are at least 12, they should be aloud to get to a healthy weight and ask how. But if they already are at a healthy weight, then they shouldn't ask about how to lose weight. (This the opinion of a strong willed 14 year old, me)

NOOO!!! Child obesity is a major problem in the united states. Go anywhere, especially pools, and you'll know what I mean. I'm not being rude, i'm being realistic. if we don't help this soon , it will be more of a problem than ever. It's not only unappealing, it's unhealthy! That's the only thing they should worry about, though. Being healthy is soooo important. I also think people just want some reassuring, before they go on a massive diet, if they are big enough to need a diet. Working out is really healthy and if they wana lose some weight while they're exercising...hey at least they are staying fit, right? I think the main thing is to be healthy, though, not to look like a runway model. That's ridiculous to be that thin, for anyone.
