Rejected petition Stop weighing young adults/children in schools.
Rejected on
We need to stop weighing our younger generations in school, as it is harmful to their mental health and may possibly trigger eating disorders. Instead, we should be encouraging healthy diets. Younger children also do not know about the psychological effect of being a ‘perfect’ size will have on them
