Help.... My daughter is 8 years old and weighs 117 pounds. She is nearly 5 feet tall. Her body is growing rapidly. She is beautiful but I do not want her to be made fun of because of her weight. Please help.

Talk to her, give her the confidence to handle it. While she is only a few pounds overweight now, at that age it easily changes, especially if she is eating school lunches. I have to send my daughters lunch or she gains weight from the supposed balanced lunches they serve.
