Hello. Dealing with this your adolescent will need to to legitimize her view, then you can have an edge to explain/educate her, you can teach her about body mass index, set a target weight for her as per her height, and develop healthy plans to meet this target... You may need the help of a dietician or a GP. Hope this help.
