Some jokes
Some jokes from stand up show by Julia Ahmedova.
It's our civil attitude - to not pay for movies on the internet. We'd better watch a camrip where they chew louder than translate, but for free. It's a shock for Americans. One American told me: "Jesus, maybe you listen to music for free, as well?" I told him: "Dude, I can tell you even more, we have a whole social network, which we also sneaked from you, where we watch your movies for free, listen to your music and slag Yankees off".
The problem is, I've got haters. Those are people, who hate everyone, who managed to achieve something, and commas.
It's easier, but more dangerous to make compliments to men, because you can tell him once in a life time "your pants are cool", and he will wear them to the fucking end of his life. He will buy one more pair of such pants. Women are motivated by a compliment, men are stopped in their progress. If you tell a woman: "You've lost a lot of weight", she will answer: "Thanks! Gonna loose more!". If you tell it to a man he will answer: "That's it, I've lost weight! Thanks!"

Stand up shows
For those, who learns English: please, reccomend a stand up show, or a stand up comic. Or anything, that is funny and can be listened to.
1. Easy to listen to. I'm quite good in listening, but still struggle to understand quickly speaking natives, especially when their speech is muffled.
2. The humor shouldn't be too stupid or too sexist.

An obese teenager. Part 9
In other words, your child don't get trauma because you tell him the truth, he knows it himself, but because he is closed from you, and you keep and keep telling him the truth, abusing him. He doesn't ask your opinion about himself, he is not interested, he doesn't expect anything pleasing from you, but you keep attacking his psycho-protection with your criticism. Even an adult can be hurt this way, if you invade his boundaries every once in a while.
When your child is opened to you, you don't need any criticism. You don't need to push him any information, he knows that he is overweight. He will tell you, willingly, that he is suffering because of his overweight, but tries pay less attention to the fact, to avoid stress. And that he would happily eat healthy food, but that junk food is the only source of positive emotions for him, that it's very important, because the rest of his life is constant stress. Now he is not telling it to you because he is afraid of your reaction, he is worried that you will seize this opportunity and start organizing his life: taking his food away, brainwashing him, like "you told yourself that you want eat less", in other words, creating additional stress. He thinks this way while you are his supervisor, and if you have become his friend, he will tell you everything himself, looking for support, not workload.
"Just talking" is effective, when a person wants to talk to you. Himself. Don't force him to talk, when he is not interested and don't want it. If you say "hello" to your child, and he grumbles and tries to retreat, don't start talking about your concerns regarding his appearance and behavior. Don't be egoistic, egoism is ineffective.
On the other hand, if your child wants to talk to you, himself, you're welcome. You can cheer him up, saying, that he still looks good, and that weight is not the main thing in life, and that a lot of overweight people are happy and popular. In this case you can offer him any help, starting from list of articles, regarding the theme, and to cooperative exercises and healthy diet plan. Then you can tell him that at his age it's quite easy to loose weight and that he will change so much, that all people around him will be attracted to him in immediately.

An obese teenager. Part 6
Do you understand the difference between trying to form something inside your child and forming environment around him? In case of creating environment, he can choose out of the surrounding material something for himself, and the materials are good. Sure, he is influenced by his friends' food habits, but the basis of nutrition is still formed at home. It's one thing to start frantically replace white bread with whole-wheat one, and sausages with chicken, when your child has already gained weight, and it's quite the other thing to eat healthy all together from his birth. In the first case the child has already formed habits and is adapted to junk food, and his parents are trying to change him, contradicting with his will and comfort. In the second case he have a healthy environment and form good habits out of it.
Therefore, if your diet is awful and your lifestyle is far from healthy, alas, you can't influence your child positively, even if you wish, 'cause you don't have anything to influence. Influence is not implemented with lecture and fiery speeches. They can be added, but they can't be the base of the influence.
Second
A parent can direct the child's interests to a healthy course
To direct child's interests means exactly directing and exactly the child's interests, instead of trying to create inside the child a new interest from scratch. Remember, you aren't gods, and you don't have power (fortunately) to get inside your child's head. That is why it's useless to tell your child "you should go into sports" or "get involved into hiking". You can try to tell yourself "get involved into studying Chinese!" and watch weather you are able to get involved after this phrase. In other words, it's almost impossible to make involved even yourself, not to mention another person.
It's more realistic to revision the child's interests and think about guiding one of those (existing) interests into a relatively positive direction, related to movement and image development. But you should be in touch with your child for it, from the very childhood. Otherwise, when you decide to make the revision of his interests you will see there are no interests at all, besides the food itself. Most likely, it's not truth, he just doesn't share anything with you, turns off his tablet when you enter the room and wears a sour look on his face when you ask about school.

An obese teenager. Part 5
Parents see the perspective of the problem and understand that, when their child will have to face the harm, produced by his today's pleasures, it will be too late, the harm to his health will have been done, as well as harm to his image. But since only parents can see it, and only child have the motivation, parents just don't know how to get to his motivation other way, that through eating his brain, so most of parents just keep on brainwashing.
But brainwashing has never been known to bring a result when a person, all of a sudden, becomes motivated. It leads to irritation and conflicts. Mostly, to external conflicts, but when you speak of a child, it leads also to inner conflicts, in other words, the very traumas and complexes, which frighten so many parents.
Their fears are quite valid. A trauma actually can happen. A child or an adolescent can get trauma from anything. Like, for instance, you can break your leg by just slipping on the ice, and an unstable personality can get a trauma from any occasional blow of fate. But parents are shivering and fearing to become the cause of this trauma, because it's the worst thing ever - to cause harm to a beloved person, even unintentionally. Even more so, they are already inspired with the idea that they are powerful demiurges and creators of a new personality, but they can't even properly influence themselves, not to mention another personality. They are being told: "It's up to you!", but they can't rule even their own fate, not to mention their child's fate. It's such a ridiculous fairytale, that a person who can't handle even his own formation can consciously form someone else. He can't. Yes, he can cause a trauma, but he can't form his child by choice. "To break things is easier than to fix them", as they say.
But what a parent can do in the end?
But what a parent can do in the end?
First
A parent can create an enabling environment for development.
In other words, a parent can be into sports and healthy food himself, not for the sake of child, but for the sake of himself, and then, there is a big probability, that for child it will go without saying. He will be formed and grown up inside such an environment and will make it his own part.
