London: A British study has found children as young as 10 being unhappy for their weight. Since they feel they need to shed weight, one in six teenagers is skipping their morning meals.
According to a report by the Schools Health Education Unit (SHEU), nearly two-thirds of 14 and 15-year-old girls (those in Year 10) saying they would like to be slimmer. One in five of the group have no lunch along with 14 per cent of 13-year-old girls.
The study indicates that young people become more concerned about their weight as they grow up and are increasingly likely to skip breakfast or lunch as they get older, Daily Mail reported.
