I go on the diet and fitness q/a. and mosly theres 12-18 yr olds worried about "fat", or "what not to eat". What the heck?? I'm 24, but when I was a teen, I was not concerned, and I was active and played sports. I just ate whatever I could. I ate a lot too... (I think that's why I have an okay metabolism). Why are young kids these days worried about calories/fat/grams? Is it all the celebrities and hype? Back in the late 90's we never were concerned about this at a young age...anyone agree?

It's a new generation of kids growing up with media outlets everywhere. They all want to be like Hannah montana, hillary duff....umm the Bratz dolls. I have a 9 year old cousin who is worried about getting fat cause her mom is a little over weight. I try n convince her that being "chubby" means your more happy cause you don't spend your time worrying about staying skinny n losing weight...i.e thats why most people gain weight after getting into a relationship.

I do agree but i think the problem is all of their peers that are skinny may make fun of them and give them a hard time. Also it is the pressure of being like by a girl or a boy. The truth is is that in today's society most kids feel the need to be skinny. I mean Oprah isn't even skinny now.

Fitness is being taught more in schools and spoken of more in the media than ever before. Kids now look at their overweight parents and say 'no way am I going to be like that.'

24/7 weight loss ads on TV radio Internet, but think it was just as bad last century, and you may not have noticed it. Never had that problem: just the opposite.

The models and female celebs are to blame. All the girls think that in order to be pretty they most be pencil thin. I do not think that these people are being good role models for girls. I also think that most teens need to learn to not to worry about their wieight unless they have serious health problems and to accept themselves for who they are.
