I'm 15 myself and a sophomore in high school. I'm currently 5'10" and about 170. I work with weights, not a lot of weight but a lot of reps. I'm currently sitting around 80 (I'm a lefty). Some people's metabolisms are a lot different, and I can understand your frustration with your son's weight. The best advice I can give you is not to try to change his body type. If he is skinny, he's skinny. Work with weights but don't push the weight too much, because you can be skinny and still very strong. Also, running makes you lose weight not gain it, so I am not saying don't run because that's still the best exercise but try to balance other weight lifting, programs etc. with that. Let me know how everything goes.
