Yes i am stating my opinion ! I would not tell that thats is all 100 % cases , but i think that at least 60 % do.
Not sure , just simply wondering .
Seems that 80 % Young people are slim( Because from stress ? school , relationships , parents ... and others) .. And then middle aged people are little overweight .

There's plenty of overweight teens...and plenty of happy slim ones so I don't get the connection. Teenagers have structured physical activity from school through physical ed. and especially if they are involved in sports offered. 6-8 hours at school is usually pretty active compared to most work schedules unless one is working hard labor. Adults don't often get the luxury of that kind of structure and we have way more responsibilities and are to stressed taking care of everyone else to take care of ourselves. If stress made people thin I'd be a size 5. Also its a fact our metabolism slows as we get older and teenagers can physically eat more than their elders and stay thin. I would think all these are more likely factors.

i think teens are slim becuase a)they dont cook or buy there own food b)they have better things to spend there money on than takeaway.
people in there midlife are a)madder from life experience b)the hole world isnt against them.

Please tell me that is just your opinion of what you see.
Because that is the exact opposite of what I see. The slim teens when I was in high school acted as though they had not a care in the world and had a strong social circle. The overweight usually had many stressors and not many friends.
Are you saying that adults are not stressed? I don't know about you, but most people I know have a lot of stress and tend to be overweight. They don't always openly express their stress, but I just don't understand what it is that you see.

Because middle aged people are all happy and lacking in stress?
LOL!
No, I don't think this is the connection
I know plenty of overweight, middleaged, stressed people. The reason you see them smiling is because they've learned to grin and bear it, not because middle age is somehow so much easier than being a teen...
They don't call it a midlife crisis because it happens to teen agers
