What problems, besides health issues, of childhood obesity?

Self-esteem which is really life limiting because it affects who your friends are, what activities you do, how you feel when you do those activities. Psychologically childhood obesity can be devastating.

self esteem issues can lead to gaining more weight and depression not to mention that they would most likely get made fun of a lot more than the average kid.

I do not recall any particular problems. Of course there is the periodic teasing and ridicule, but I did not find that a problem. I was a very obese child, going for 200 in 4th grade to over 450 in high school and 500 in college. I lost the weight down to the low 200s until my early 40s and then put on over 400 pounds because I enjoyed being very obese. I was always happiest when I was very fat. That may make me unusual; however that is the way it is. Being an obese child did have challenges especially in finding clothes - not many children have 60 to 80 inch waists as they are in high school.
