I have this friend and first to start off he's fourteen and reaally really skinny. i mean, ive seen skinny people but u can literally see his knee caps kinda sticking out. hes been like this since i met him a couple years ago. i doubt he's got any eating disabilities, ive seen him eat and hes really not the superficial type. well, ive always been sorta concerned about his weight but i figured it was just cause he excercesed a lot or something, cause he does like to run and stuff, but this year i noticed that he lost even MORE weight. its kinda scary cause hes growing too so it seems like hes got too little meat on his sticks. he also has these weird marks on the back of his knee caps, hes had em as far back as i remembered, but when i asked he said he didnt wanna talk about it. im really worried, and i might just be paranoid but if any of u have any idea if theres something wrong with him, please do let me know. thanks :)

I think the scars on the back of his legs may have something to do with him as he was really self-conscious when i asked him about it.

My son is very skinny due to taking medication. Hopefully his parents care enough about him to have noticed his weight. If you're really concerned, talk to your school guidance counselor or your school nurse. They will bring this to the parents attention and, if there is a problem, get him some help.
You may save him. Don't sit by. Talk to someone!!

Well, you might want to have a talk with his mom r something!!! And if he's willing to eat ( say you'll have an eating comtest at mcdonalds or something similar), then do that like each day or every other day...
