Answers:
He's thirteen. The only thing I would advise is that he eats healthier.

Everybody grows differently due to parents, ethnicity, environment. At 13 it's not a major concern unless he's winded going up a flight of stairs. His genetics are going to do what they need to do. I use to eat 3 whoppers at a sitting when I was 13 and never went over 100 lbs. (about 7st 9lb)

Just try to stay active his body will do the rest. And try to get him some fruit.

Now Is he classified as overweight.? Yes.

Does that mean he's unhealthy.? not yet.Health Question & Answer

sounds like he may be overweight (11.5 stone = 161 pounds).

i have a guy here who is approx right weight is just over 5'8" and is around 145 pounds.

coke and mars bars are full of sugar and have tons of calories.

he should eat more fruit (not juice) & vegetables, less sugar.Health Question & Answer

its his metabolism. and he probably eats more when youre not around.. and uh.. idk wat 11.5 stone is.. i use pounds. not to mention pasta can and does add a lot of weight. so do mars bars and sodaHealth Question & Answer
