The kid is 16, really all he needs to do is eat decent food, lift free weights (to keep minor muscles in check), and maybe do some running or biking for cardio.
As far as lashing out on creatine - I disagree, maybe not for someone this young, but I took creatine for a summer between my freshman and sopohmore years in college. That summer I ate well, went running, lifted weights regularly, and hauled hay. I also gained 15lbs of muscle mass that summer. Then I came back to college, quit the creatine and for the most part really slacked on weights (read - slowly came to a complete stop on lifting). I did not lose hardly any weight or muscle mass and when I came back to lifting a semister later I wasn't too far behind where I left off, and was way ahead of where I was before the creatine.
Now my story may be different from your (anyone's) expierence, but that doesn't make you or me any more correct.
