Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about all the inconveniences this skinny nature of your son has caused you and the entire family. Please, body builds are not the same and there is no reason to get worried. It is not because persons make mockery of him that his weight is not normal. I will like you to report the weight and height to us so that we can check to see whether his weight is normal for his height or not. It is not about what the public thinks but what the health status tells us.


I hope this helps. I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
