While I give you that we don't know the details **there's the chance this is not the case yes but,** coincidentally my daughter is 13 and she is like 150% heavier because she is just growing she's 1,65 (while I'm 1,69 for reference)she just grew from looking like a child (1,20) to a young woman how the fuck that's not normal?. And please don't use BMI is proven Bullshit.

Depends on their height. But a 14 year old having a 50% increase in weight in a short period of time would be something that you would check with a doctor on. If she is average height for a woman in China (about 160cm) then it puts her at the upper limit of normal BMI. But at 14, that puts her at risk of obesity as an adult.

Things are always a bit more gray if you don't have all the details.

I suppose that if surgery is in the picture, it alters a lot of what's realistically-achievable in many ways.

That being said, China also has something of a more-males gender imbalance due to a significant degree of infanticide of females, so you'd think that the pickings would be pretty good for surviving women in China compared to in most countries. I'd expect that you'd see the *guys* being more likely to go to extreme ends than the girls.

She wasn't an adult yet so maybe she was still quite short? Even so I agree it shouldn't have cost her acting roles.

I completely agree, the only thing a woman needs to be complete is a husband, four children, and a clean house.

So this time I looked it up and lo and behold: it's real. I don't know why you guys do this to yourselves

Pebbles aren't a real unit, but 1 stone is equal to 3584 drams.

Stone is a common British weight measuring unit, and this is a bbc article, so... That's why that happened.

China's ability to mix and match the worst of communism and capitalism in a single dystopian package never ceases to amaze me.

I can see the whole of .ml lining up for liposuction now. Except they need it.

Did I just read "stone" as a weight measuring unit? First time I see this and I can't believe it is not a meme.
