I have found that in schools, while we are taught that we all have different body types, we are not taught why.This can be dangerous as it can lead to people growing up believing that they can change natural parts of their bodies to look like others through potentially harmful methods (Excessive dieting,excessive exercise etc.). If children are taught the anatomical reasoning behind different body types and parts of physical appearance, hopefully people can learn to stop comparing bodies for their physical appearance. Sign this petition if you agree that the scientific reasoning behind different body types should be inputted into our curriculum, to help create healthy body image for everyone.

IT IS A FACT THAT SKINNY BAGS AND FAT SACKS ARE UNHEALTHY, NOT AN OPINION. STOP WITH THIS HEALTHY AT ANY SIZE CRAP

This is so true, I am constantly worrying about my body and comparing it to other girls, when in reality it’s just my genes and I can’t change them
