Want to help friends lose weight?

I have a couple friends that are overweight. And I don't mean that they are just chubby or a little overweight. I mean that they are very obease. We are all 15. I'm skinny even for my age and very active (you know us runners) Anyways. I want to help my friends lose weight but I don't want to be rude about it or anything. They are both in badmittin but that is all. Is there something I can do to help them? please and thankyou!

    ^ telling them straight would be pretty rude and I doubt they'd take it well.

    what you need to do is kind of suggest healthier things to them, so indirectly they can start making good choices. ask them to come on walks with you, or if you're going to grab a salad, ask if they want one. try and invite them to do healthy activities with you and they might catch on that they should try to be healthier. if you tell them to their face that they need to lose weight, i can nearly guarantee it would be a huge insult and they'd be pretty mad at you.

    good luck! so considerate that you want to help out your friends (:
