A member asked:
I'm afraid i'll snap my shin bones if i do body weight exercises like running, kickboxing, jumping, etc. is this fear irrational?

Yes: If this idea becomes obsessive and interferes with your enjoying being a teenager, let your physician known. A short course of talk therapy may be all that is required, and you will discover inner strengths and resources in the process.
