Most days I try to answer diet and fitness questions on Yahoo Answers.
I am somewhat alarmed at the amount of posts from 12 or 13 year old girls. Their requests are not about the usual teenage angst's, but about losing weight, being skinny and getting a flatter tummy.
This is the time in a girls life when changes start happening to her body, trying to diet will result in a confused body and the changes may not be as efficient as they ought to would be.
I would like to point out here, that the girls writing on Yahoo also state their height and weight, and, it is always the girls that do not need to lose weight that want to lose more!
Is this an epidemic amongst young teenagers?
