I have a usually happy, active 11 year old boy who the last couple of nights has been worrying that he is too skinny. He is quite thin but eats like horse and just seems to be one of those lucky people that doesn't put on weight. He says he is not being teased at school . He also says that he hates looking at himself in the mirror. Have tried reassuring him that he's OK and that I was skinny at his age too but he seems so sad about it. Any advice appreciated.
