According to the website Overweightteen.com, more than 15 percent of the
nation's teenagers are overweight or could be medically classified as
obese. This nationwide epidemic, coinciding with adult and child weight
statistics, is to blame for increases in weight-related health problems
such as Type II diabetes and asthma. There certainly is a negative
psychological factor associated with being an overweight teen, as peer
ridicule and negative self-image can create a vicious self-defeating
cycle that encourages additional unhealthy habits.
