Weight: Your son doesn't have to run. Start w/seeing a doctor to clear him medically for exercise and rule out medical causes. Then think about going to a gym and have a trainer to start with. Or use an exercise bike at home. Brisk walking can be helpful too. Teasing is wrong but encourage him to focus on inner values rather than number on scale. Peace and good health.
