Stores for Plus Size Young Teens

It can be hard for teens to keep up with changing fashion trends. It's even harder for a teen who happens to be above a size 10. CNN reports that in as of 2009, 17.6 percent of teens are obese. Despite this, most clothing designers have limited their line to a size 10 or smaller, until recently. Now several stores carry more fashionable plus-sized options for larger teens.
