Answers:
Yes, it is wrong, and my dad did the same thing to me when I was a teenager!. It can also cause the kid to develop an eating disorder!. Talk to an adult friend you trust, if this is bothering you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that it is wrong for a parent to call their child fat!. It is one thing if the child is severely overweight and there are health issues at risk, but you sound like you are a normal healthy size!. If the child were to ask their parent if they were fat and the parent had an opinion he or she could nicely say that they have put a few lbs on or that they are a little heavier than average if that is actually the case!. I think that it is not only hurtfull to the child if a parent says that their child is fat but I know from personal experience that it can cause harm!. I grew up with a friend whose mother called her fat and she developed a eating disorder that she delt with until recent years (we are 23 now)!. Bottom line is that it is not right for a parent to flat out call their child fat and beside that it does not sound like it is an issue for you any way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would say it is, even if you were fat!. There are ways of helping over weight people without just saying
