There is so much focus on girls issues with their self image….that we have forgotten about boys who also have all the same self image problems

My nephew has gone thru the weight issue, acne, hair, fashion…….and I think that he’s had it worse than I did

He was told by his gym teacher (last year) that he was obese.  This kid is 16, 5’11” and 180lbs….who the fuck does that teacher think he is to say that to a kid?  If it’s a problem, then send a letter home…this kid doesn’t need to hear that bull shit.  And by the way, he’s got at least 5 more years of growing to do….and he will be receiving his Black Belt in Karate in 2 weeks, so shut the hell up

The result of this information (hey kid, you’re obese) has caused unnecessary focus on diet, calorie counting, insisting on ‘low fat’ or ‘non-fat’, basically….an unhealthy diet

Thank god, that craziness only lasted about a month….but it could have turned into a real eating disorder….all from this idiot gym teacher
