Default Translation help from French to English please!!

Hi there. I need to answer some questions from a French text. It is probably very easy for you if you know french very well, cause this is very noob French.
Anyone wants to help? It wont take longer than 5 to 10 minutes, and I really need help!!

Thanks.

Thank you very much!

Here is the text:

Lucas:
Je mange ce que je veux, quand j'en ai envie, A midi, je mange a la cantine, Deux fois par semaine, je vais au McDo avec mes copains et le soir ou les week-ends,
I quand rna mere n'est pas la, je me debrouille tout seul. Quand j'ai faim, apres le basket ou les rollers, je mange ce qui me plaTt: des barres de chocolat, des bols de cereales, des hamburgers et des chips et je bois du coca. Je mange et je bois
beaucoup d'un se ul coup.
J'ai rarement faim a I'heure des repas, et je ne mange plus du tout comme rna mere, Quand je suis seul, je me fais des påtes, c'est vite fait, c'est facile. Parfois rna mere me dit que je dois manquer de vitamines, parce que je ne mange presque pas de legumes, Mais bon, je me trouve en bonne forme. Je suis maigre, et ga c'est rna
nature. i .

Herene (sa mere}:
Je suis surprise de voir tout ce que Lucas peut devorer. C'est sans doute a cause de son åge, Mais toutes ces barres de chocolat, je pense qu'il les mange par plaisir,
plus que par faim, Avant, je faisais tres at tention a sa nourriture. II ya un an, quand j'ai vu qu'il ne mangeait presque pas de legumes, je I'ai harcele, Puis j'ai arrete, ga ne servait a rien, C'est seulement quand sa grande sæur passe a la maison qu'il s'interesse au repas, Alors la, c'est comme une fete.
Je pense que toute cette consommation hyper rapide va passer. Mais si, vers seize, dix-sept ans, il ne change pas ses habitudes, je serai vraiment inquiete.

And the Questions:
1. Why is Lucas mother worried about him?
2. When does Lucas eat normal meals?
3. Why doesn't his mother do anything to change her sons eating habits?

Thank you so much! You just saved me! :D Btw, please write the answers in English. Again, this is very kind of you.

Okay... now look I am not going to do your homeworks... I am glad I can help but it is absolutely not helpful to do your homeworks.

So you should tell me what you don't understand, where you have problems... what french words or sayings you need to explained, i will answer gladly.

You're right .... it will take me less than 5 mn.

BUT .... just tell me WHY I should do your homework, when you don't seem to be willing to invest 5 mn of your own time ?

You seem to have the wrong idea about what this Forum is about: we are not here to do your homework - we are here to review what you have done (up to now: you have done zilch.).

Then, after reviewing, we will make suggestions on where you went wrong, and guide you until YOU get it right.

Any questions ? :D

Ok, I see. It's just that it is very late, and I am so tired. Didn't know we had to do this as homework, and it should be finished tomorrow. And it's not just that, but much of other things to do too, so if you would just answer one question, because I really don't understand anything of that text.. I should have been going to bed for like two hours ago, the time is 01:00 am here, so I don't have time to read the text and look up every word in a dictionary.. PLease just one or two questions, it's so important! I'm busy writing a French text on my own too.

But if you don't have time, I understand that. Anyway, thank you for wanting to help me out at the first place, if I wasn't so tired, I would try to understand the text and ask you about sayings I don't understand etc.

Because for me it will take like one hour or more... I'm new to the French language, and very tired...
