Call You and Yours: Did you struggle with your weight as a teenager?
Consumer phone-in. What might tackle the problem of obese teenagers and how do we handle the youngsters who have this problem?
We know that one in four teenagers will be clinically obese by the age of fifteen. Now new research suggests that obesity in teenagers has different causes to that in younger children. It doesn't look to be connected to the weight of their parents for example and the implication is that it needs to be tackled in new and different ways.
Did you struggle with your weight as a teenager? How did it make you feel and what might have helped at the time? Or maybe you have adolescent children who have a problem with obesity. What do you think caused it and what's it like to live with?
