Should a 12 year old take diet pills???

Question

????????????????????

Answer 1

Absolutely Not. There is no need for diet pills that could possibly stunt your growth. If you want an appropriate diet go in to see your health care provider.

Answer 2

Absolutely not! A 12 year old is still a growing child. The only way a 12 year old or anyone under the age of 18 should take diet pills is under the supervision of a doctor.

Answer 3

It all depends on what you would like to do with your life - if you're looking for an apprenticeship in drug abuse, amphetamines are a nice choice to get the ball rolling.. The second year or if you are good at what you're doing, you could take the next step to taking some anti-psychotic drugs like largactyl or doxepin to knock yourself out at night. Then when the speed pills stop working, you're probably gonna need to find yourself a good drug dealer to help things along - maybe some methamphetamine, Pseudoethedrine or if you're really serious about diet pills, cut to the chase and go the ice. Trouble is though, the Anti-psychotics won't be knocking you out anymore, so then some form of opiate would balance things out and help you with dealing with insomnia, and the utter chaos your life has become, the loss of your family's respect, and more than a few visits to the hospital. You will be lovely and thin though!
NO. DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS.

Answer 4

NO NO NO NO NO NO!

If a 12 year old is over weight(this confirmed by a physician-not peer pressure or what someone else thinks) then a physician should be consulted and a reasonable diet and exercises plan set up. Something that is able to be monitored by the parent, and completed by the child. But under no circumstances should a 12 year old be taking diet pills.

Answer 5

No! No a 12 year old should not be taking diet bills because at that age , you should be full of enough energy to burn wat eva calories you consume. A 12 year olds metebolism should be high anyway . Diet pills are out of the question just exercise and eat right and your body will respond accordingly. P.S. A 12 year old should be about ready to go through puberty soon , therefore the baby fat will be melting off real soon .

Answer 6

Do me a favor. Turn off the d.a.m.n television. Stop looking at Nicole Ritchie, Paris Hilton, Eva Longoria, Avril Lavinge, Jessica Simpson...all those skinny made up Hollywood chics. They are not real and they do not represent real American women. You are too young to worry about your body image and from what you describe you have nothing to worry about. I'm tall and slim and when I was 14 yrs old I began modeling. I worked in the US and over seas and for years I suffered from anorexia. One day, I looked in mirror and something clicked, I was 22 yrs old 5"9 and weighed 111 lbs and I WAS HUNGRY. Not only was I starving physically, but mentally and emotionally. Don't let that happen to you. You're perfect the way you are.

Answer 7

no way they can cause serious health problems the disadvantages to diet pills far outweigh the advantages. if the 12 year old is overweight do some exercise and watch their diet.

Answer 8

Diet pills are bad at any age. They mess up your metabolism and can even make you gain weight. Just eat healthy and exercise. Walking is a good exercise. There is no pill to make you lose weight and keep it off. You just have to learn how to eat right.

Answer 9

No.
Most diet pills contain a drug called speed. It can kill you. That's about 48% of a diet pill.
I strongly advise you not to. All you need to do is exercise, drink lots of water, get pampered (of course), and eat healthy foods. If you think your overweight you can also talk 2 a parent or doctor.

Answer 10

A 12 yr old shouldn't have to diet PERIOD. If a 12 yr old wants to or should lose weight, she should be doing the obvious such as:

-exercising
-eating foods low in fat & calories & other bad things
-not eating "junk" food
