Rebecca
I am reposting because I wanted to add a subject due to the fact I omitted it the first time. So here is the question again.
Rebecca was with her mom and her mom said; Rebecca you are very thin, I am concerned,
I dont want you to lose weight;. Rebecca then asked her mom; Why do you think I should
gain weight?; And her mother said; No I dont think you should gain I just think you
should not lose;. The next day Rebecca told her friends the story and asked her friends is
my mom saying I am to thin; and her friends said; No she is not. All she is saying is that
you are very thin and she does not want you to lose any weight and she EVEN TOLD
YOU SHE DOES NOT THINK YOU HAVE TO GAIN WEIGHT. MY QUESTION:
DO YOU AGREE/CONCUR WITH REBECCAS FRIENDS?"

No, because they are getting hung up on technicallities. The mom told her she was very thin and that she is concerned. Mom's do worry about their kid's health and she would not have told her that she was concerned if she thought she looked healthy. Very thin and too thin are semantically different, but the point is that the mom did not mention it for nothing. So, my best guess is that her mom is worried that she is too thin and wants her daughter to gain weight, but not too much. Young girls are supposed to gain weight as they develop and grow. Being too thin is as health threatening as being too thick. We need to focus not on weight, but on health. Rebecca's doctor would be the best judge of her health and weight.

I think the friends are right. She is reading to much into it.
Teens always seem to be dieting these days, even if they don't need to be. I think her mom was simply saying she looks fine as she is. She is not overweight so don't diet.
