One Mississippi middle school's attempt at addressing girls' body image concerns sparked outrage among parents, forcing the school to backtrack.
SOUTHAVEN, Miss. -- One Mississippi middle school's attempt at addressing girls' body image concerns sparked outrage among parents, forcing the school to backtrack.
"I had to reread it a few times," Heun told CNN,"My first instinct was to go up to the school and yell at every person I could find." Sartain called Heun on Wednesday morning and they met later that day. Heun said Sartain was very apologetic and said the counselors had nothing but good intentions with the note. He also told her that the program had since been canceled.
"We have a generation of kids who are preoccupied with the way they look, and their self-worth and self-esteem are far too often contingent on their weight or flaws in perceptions of their bodies," Duffy told CNN."Even in middle school, their physical appearance is on kids' minds almost all the time."
"Seemingly innocuous comments like 'Are you sure you want a second serving?' can be brutal for a middle schooler," Fagell told CNN.
