There is a healthy or normal level of weight for children and adolescents. However, there are some teen-agers who feel that they are already overweight. So what they did is to skip meals or reduce their food intake. This is one form of malnutrition. Malnutrition can either be in the form of overeating orundereating. However, many are victims of undereating because either food is scarcely available or the family has no funds to buy sufficient and balanced food for all its members.
