But this doesnt amount to the amount of fasting that muslims do over the month which is unhealthy.
It's approx 12-14 hours a day. So kinda like intermittent-fasting (which is good) i.e. eat at alternate days.

I think that it is neccessary to offer prayers.

Its that time of the year again Ramadan when hundreds of muslims die by volutarily starving themselves even though they live in the middle of the desert. Whats worse still is that in their countries they force you to fast as well(no eating outside) even if you aren't muslim. Sure in their countries they shorten the work day so that you dont push yourself too hard but muslims living outside muslim countries don't get any of these considerations so i would suggest not fasting, and tell your parents its not right to force others to fast its a personal choice, infact tell al your muslim brotherein that. I mean how many expats can you kick out of your countries for eating in public grow up its the 21st century.

If those people are fasting, even near state of death, then they are foolish. According to Islam, if a person is sick or in near death state or can be saved just by eating or drinking: He can break the fast and even not keep the fast (if he is sick from start).
Which country are you talking about? This doesnot happen in Karachi (Pakistan, Islamic State) .

I understand. But this is the reason its unhealthy. Ramadan happens to land during school and many kids take P.E. Its not healthy to run a mile every week or so and participate in playing sports while fasting for the whole month from sunset to sunrise. Your links are periodic fastings but not to the scale of what muslims have to do.
It also happens to be very hot around this time and fasting is even harder. Running for p.e becomes even harder and the weather takes its toll on the body. Your basically forcing yourself not to eat when you really need to. Water is essential but that too is not allowed.
Of course many muslims dont understand what they need to eat as well. Complex carbohydrates or slow digesting foods would be good for sahur i recommend to those who are fasting. Eat a lot of dairy, fish, meat, wheat, oat, beans, rice.
You're not really supposed to complain about it. >_>
Do it if you can handle it, otherwise just eat after sunrise tomorrow.

True, but my parents think otherwise:P

This. Or just eat and dont tell anyone...
I believe in respecting your parents and all, but screw not eating if im not doing it out of my own choice.

Islamic Calender is based on moon. Therefore, the seasons in which Ramadan strikes a country keep changing(so it is fair for muslims, all over the world).
Plus, the fasting proved to be beneficial is intermittent-fasting which is approximately the same.
As far as the exercise is concerned, it can be carried out at Sahur ( I do it, and drink after it). It helps me get fresh, and is really great. Plus, waking up early morning and exercising does have it's benefits.
At school, the child can give an application(if he wants).
Do you know, many people here in Karachi think that eating fish and dairy products together causes skin pigmentation. :D

But once again intermittent fasting is still not healthy to those who are still growing. Children who carry out fasts for the whole month have even a higher chance of becoming sick than the adults. They are far more vulnerable.

Fasting is compulsary, only after puberty ( i think). But I assure you, it is not obligatory on little children. If anyone forces them to fast, he is wrong. You can just google, to check that fasting is not obligatory in various circumstances.

My point is that my muslim brother or sister here is still young. Perhaps 14-18 im guessing. He came here stating that he wants to eat. I say eat. His parents say no. He shouldnt be fasting is my first point.
My second point is that muslim children start fasting around 14 or 15 even 13. You truly believe, with all your heart, that this is healthy?

Thats incredible. When i was fasting i didnt start until 17 in a half. The youngest that i see muslims fasting is 13. What is the age in pakistan.
A few questions for the Muslims in here. I was arguing with a supposed ex-Muslim in another thread earlier, who was making claims that I am 90% sure are absolutely rubbish. I wanted to get a sanity check:
1. He said girlfriend's and boyfriend's are allowed in Islam. I know this is not true, as anything that can lead to "zina" is not allowed. Apparently this is an "extremist" point of view.
2. After correcting the above using hadith, he claimed that unless there are "direct quotes" within context from the Quran, it's not part of Islam. Stating: "these Schools are right in recognizing that the Hadith is a guideline, wrong in thinking that the Hadith as it relates to Muhammad is infallible." and "The Hadiths are not referenced anywhere in the Quran. It is simply a tradition relating to how the Prophet Muhammad lived his life. One can use that as a guideline, but the ultimateand only true authority is the Quran."
Essentially denoucning all schools of Islamic thought. My understanding has always been "Islam is defined by the Quran and Sunna", and that the Quran cannot be fully understood without the Hadith. He even went as far as saying that: "5 Prayers, fasting, etc" --- all things mentioned in Hadith, are hense debatable.
As far as I take it, he's not very knowledgable about Islam. However, if I am wrong, I would like to know. Thanks!

As far as I know, it is not allowed. I mean, in girlfriend and boyfriend relationship there is kissing, touching etc. and that is not allowed. I am yet to meet someone in such a relationship, that doesn't do all this.(I am open to correction though; I am not a scholar)
As far as no reference of "Hadith in Quran" issue: Well the Quran does state that follow Allah (his word, Quran) and Muhammad (S.A.W.). And since, Hadith is basically how Muhammad (S.A.W.) lived his life it is to be followed.
However, Hadith are only accepted if they are not in conflict with the Quran.
