Zinc deficiency would cause slow growth and an inability for the immune system to do its job, thus the child would be sick often.
Your son's 13 year old friend probably needs zinc. Have him look into zinc deficiency. I know he doesn't want to grow into a little man. There's still time! Dr. Mercola makes a multivitamin for kids with trace minerals including zinc. I'm not a paid shill I just had a boy who was small and is benefitting from zinc/copper supplementation.
