what is the percentage of overweight teens in the US? Also what are some reasons for them being overweight? What are some good reasons that the overweight teens should loose weight?
Obese Teens??
I'm not sure about a percentage but i bet there are hundreds of overweight teens in the states, you can see them around all the time..eating at fast foods or shopping at large size clothes shops. i think its enough reason to loose weight just because of their health. they could have a heart attack in any moment. The way of living, stress, TV, Internet and sedentary life are causing all these problems.
Reply:I believe it is around 12.8%. They just had all the totals come out last week. You may be able to research a copy of USA Today. They are this way because parents today allow them to spend hour upon hour in front of the tv and playing video games. They also allow them to eat whatever and whenever they want. When I was a child growing up, we HAD to spend most of our day outside, we did not have tv and video games like they do today. I have a 9 year old son and he is only allowed 1 hour of games a day, this includes weekends.
