From MEME, child's age 9

My son is 9 and weighs 155 lbs. He is 4'8. Most of his weight is in his belly. But he carrys it all over. People tell me he should be in football!! He is not interested right now. He is pretty active runs around with other kids, swms. Now he will be starting soccer. He does like to sit and play games and play on the computer. I do not see anything wrong with this. The only fear I have this year is that he is starting 3 grade and kids will make fun of him. He has lots of friends that don't, but I am sure with bus ride he has to get on with the 3, 4 and 5 graders he is going to get picked on. He for some reason does not tell us everything that goes on with the other kids on the bus. I listen to everyone telling me he needs to loose some weight. I am really tired of it. Health wise I am nervous with Diabeties running in my family. I also have a weight problem. I just purchased pants for him and had to get a mens 36/30. They are a bit big, so he will have to wear a belt. I had to take tons off the bottom but he likes them. He thinks they look good on him. I love my little guy NO MATTER WHAT SIZE HE IS. I would like some feedback from some parents that are going through the same thing I am and let me know how I should handle all the issues/problems I am going to be facing.
