The homepage of the GoGirlGo website is disturbing. The main message is to try to make a child move? There are no missing limbs or physical disabilities to overcome here. Just plain ordinary girls who won't exercise! Maybe if they spun the following messages as part of a sex education program, they would get the girls to move their fat asses in a happier frame of mind.

Get a girl active yourself (we'll show you how) or make a donation to help our mission.

Unless a girl is encouraged and her school or parents can afford to pay for her。。。chances are she will grow up inactive.

The truth is: -- 1 in every 6 girls is obese or overweight
-- 1 in 3 teens gets pregnant
-- 1 in 4 girls in grades 9-12 currently smokes
-- 1 in 3 adolescent girls will experience depression, anxiety or eating disorders
-- 1 in 4 high school girls reports she does not like herself

Active girls are more likely to have a positive body image, confidence and self-esteem than inactive girls. Simply moving and playing can reduce a girl's risk for obesity; cancer; diabetes; alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use; osteoporosis; unintended pregnancy and more.

There is also a disturbing article about using the police to monitor the weight of schoolkids in New York. Has nobody ever heard of a couple of terms that used to be valid back in the days of sane?

In loco parentis was a legal phrase whereby teachers had the power to treat kids as though they were their own kids. And the second phrase, parents - these were adults who made sure your ass was trim enough to get on a bicycle and go get the lean and healthy shopping from 2 miles away.
