this will be contraversal, but on my mind because it was a current conversation.. but parents of very overweight children. It's abuse.. some may attack me for it, but its where I come from too (overweight child).. It hurts me to know when they go to school what they have to deal with, the emotional scars they will carry because of there weight even if they lose it, some scars never go away.. I went from being a very skinny little kid, to an overweight youngster, to a fitness model. even now the things I went threw as an overweight youngster haunts me more than most of the other problems in a troubled home. at least at home I could lock myself in my room.. at school, in the pool, in public, these kids are being hurt.. all because parents lack of disaplin to feed there kids appropriatly..
if someone wants to debate it I will but deep down I know many will know where i'm coming from, even if you are overweight urself.. I feel so terrible for those poor kids
Some parents are to blame for this. Usually when I see a child on TV who has a weight problem the parents have a weight problem too. But then sometimes there are medical reasons for the child's weight problem. But yes, I would say most of the time parents are relying too much on takeout and fast food because they are too tired (or lazy?) or time constrained to prepare meals themselves and there's not enough supervision.
I feel for overweight children and what they must have to deal with. However, I was a skinny kid and was also teased and called names relentlessly in school for being skinny and was traumatized just as much as any overweight kid. Kids will tease you for anything. It all hurts the same.
