Mr. Thomas should pose questions to these students privately about their eating habits and health and listen attentively to their answers. This will allow him to gather information and potentially offer support or refer them to the school counselor for further assistance. Complimenting their appearance may reinforce unhealthy behaviors and talking to their friends would not be appropriate without the students' consent. Avoiding the students altogether would not be helpful in addressing their potential health concerns.
