[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people are so offended by this thread? Maybe if people weren't so afraid to discuss this topic there would be more push to put physical education back into our schools. It is obviously needed. [/quote]

Obesity is a problem across all age groups. It is rising across all age groups. Targeting teen-agers as having a particular problem is not based on evidence.

[b]There's a whole lot of smugness in this thread about how hot PPs were when they were 15.  [/b]There's a whole lot of delusion in this thread about how hot PPs are now, compared against 15 year olds. There's a whole lot of misogyny as 15 year old girls are being singled out, while 15 year old boys are (mostly) ignored.

Think you and a lot of other posters are misreading OPs original intent.  No one is talking about "hot" bodies, but healthy ones.   It is objectively true that teens have gotten chubbier since many of us were growing up in the 70s and 80s.  And because girls stop growing sooner than boys, perhaps, the growing number of overweight girls is more obvious.

As for instagram posts being an indicator, that's a laugh.  The only girls who post those are the ones with good figures. [/quote]

Read the whole thread. Lots of people posting about how THEY had good figures when they wer 15, but kids today are SOOOOOO FAT and GROSS!

There are a ton of narcissistic harpies on this thread who need to MYOB.[/quote]
