I see forums for 20s, 30s, etc., but my dd is a 17 yo high school senior who is struggling with her weight and going to WW with me. I know she feels a little alone at the meetings where most of the members are decades older than she is. She is going out of state for college in the fall and I really want her to be in a healthier place before she goes.
I told her about this site but I don't think she feels there is a "place" for her.
Am I missing a forum group that might appeal to her?
TIA!

I can tell you that the 20-something's would welcome her with open arms. Plenty of the 20-something's are starting or going through college so there's that in common. Maybe even some advice from those who have been there. :yes: And we certainly love having people over in the WW area! :D
Depending on what she's into as well, the Alternachicks is a cool area. (<3 those guys & gals!)

I'm 19, I'm at University and I love posting on the 20-somethings board. Also, I think the Alternachicks board is great! I tend to lurk all the boards though :lol:
I just became a 20-something about a month ago... 'heh... and really.. age does not really matter.... I think most people are teens at heart

She loves country music!
She knits, reads, and is quite conservative....

Hi, have her join us in the 20's, I think there are a few teens floating around, but if you read our posts, she may relate to a lot of what we are talking about. Much better to join here than some of the bad sites they have out there pro-anorexia or something.

There is a Teens Thread in the main Support Groups Forum and here is a link to it . . . http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118949 . . . other than that I think a lot of teens are posting in the Twenty Somethings Forum as has already been mentioned.
