It's not safe no matter how old you are.

No, it is not safe. No diet pill is safe. They all say they are or will work in 30 days or whatever, but in reality after you take the diet pills and when you stop, your weight will be back to where it was before or you might get even bigger that what you were before.
Trust me it is not safe to take diet pills especially for a 15 year old. you are still young and are still growing. Do not take them. Instead just watch your calorie intake and do some excersize even though it is just climbing up and down u r stairs at home. That is some sort of excersize for you.

Absolutely not. Diet pills are not safe for anyone of any age to use. They never work. The best way to shape up is to exercise and eat right. You should excersize and get arobic fitness at least one hour EVERY DAY. You should watch calories, cholestorol, and fat grams in everything you eat. Do not go on a crash diet or starvation diet-those can be very harmful to your health and well being.

Diet pills are not safe, especially for a teenager. They mess with your heart rhythm and they also screw up your metabolism so it actually makes it difficult to lose weight down the road. The best way to lose weight (and feel better and healthier) is to eat healthier and exercise. Try Bob Greene's best life diet (on oprah.com) or weight watchers. Both of those teach healthy eating habits that you can stick to your entire life. You can lose weight and keep it off and the results are pretty quick when you exercise too.

Diet pills don't work, as stated by the World Health Organization. If you're doing research on them, I suggest using Google Scholar or PubMed.

My theory on diet pills is if they worked then no one would be overweight. Like everyone else said, diet and exercise. Weight Watchers is a good program to help you to learn how to eat healthy and exercise. Good luck and save your money!

Diet pills aren't safe for ANYONE to take. Do the hard work involved with losing the weight you want. You'll be a happier person for it.

No, I agree with everyone else and say diet pills are not safe for anyone. They are not regulated by anyone so who is to say what exactly is in them? All you know is what they tell you is in them.

They aren't safe. If you are worried about how much you weigh, talk to your parent and see if they can make up a meal plan for you. Maybe go to the gym on the weekends? If you can't go to the gym, do 20 crunches when you wake up. That will probably help along with a meal plan.

Become an expert in just what you’re doing. Learn how and why things work then you’ll have faith that they're going to. Check out a podcast called Cut The Fat, and listen to it when you’re exercising.

Baby please dont resort to extreme measures you are young just moving around a little more than normal will help you lose the weight dont let other's pressure you into thinking something is wrong with how you look sometimes they will say things purely out of jealousy im sure you look great. My advice lay off the dorito's and the fast food and watch the pounds melt.. good luck
