difficult child thinks he is overweight. he won't go to the pool, he won't go to the lake, he will wear long pants and two shirts and it is 90 degrees outside. He hasn't been eating much for several months. I didn't make a big deal about it, thinking he will eat when he is hungry. For several YEARS he has been saying kids tease him because he is fat, he can't take his shirt off..He goes on and on about how fat he is. He is 12 years old and weighs 90 pounds. His waist on his pants is 26 inches and fall off him. He insists he is fat because others tell him so. Now I am getting worried. He is not overweight. he is beginning to scare me. When he gets a certain thought in his mind he obsesses over it. Being fat(someone said that once to him), Someone made fun of him once when he had short hair...4 years ago. Hasn't cut it since (trim only, shoulder length), won't go to Friday night skating because someone said nobody wanted him there. It just really bothers me. Don't know how to get through to him these things aren't true.
