It is a sad fact that modern living has led to a greater incidence of obesity among teenagers. Children who are overweight are not at the optimum health they should be and this can ultimately impact upon their performance academically. Too much weight will also compromise the physical health of a teen and it affects their social interaction among peers. Children and young people do not place high priority on tact and the school environment can be tough on a
teen who is perceived as 'fat' by others.
