I played volleyball as a teenager, but I also recall me and my friends spending plenty of time just hanging around. I do not believe that teenagers' activity levels have dropped off that much in the last 15 years.
Anyway, I really wish this was taken a little more seriously. Whenever I see a woman with a muffin top, or a flabby stomach, I know she has the same problem I have, namely, an issue with insulin sensitivity. Something seems to be making these girls have a very low insulin sensitivity at a VERY young age. I am not 100% sure what has caused, but I do know the best ways to help heal it: no sodas (not even diet), sugar only on RARE occasions, and no processed junk food. These girls are still young. I see my cousin (who is obese) drink 44 oz cokes pretty much daily. She could drop that ONE habit and see a big difference. I know many people on this board are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s and complain that too many eggs causes weight gain, or one carb-heavy dinner adds five pounds. But these girls are still teenagers! They likely can lose the weight relatively easily and without much hardship just by making a few key changes.

I want to add that my girls went to a cheer competition several years abo and they were in awe of a featured cheerleader on one of the competing squads. She, not only was fluffy, but she was also tall. She did a flip that, in itself, was amazing but it did not compare to the fact that you could hear a pin drop when she landed on the concrete floor.
