The BMI scale used throughout many education systems focuses only on the height and weight of students. They don't focus on muscle mass, body fat percentage, fitness level, disease, or anything else. This petition is to completely get rid of the BMI system because it ruins the self esteem of children that are told to lose weight because they have an "unhealthy" BMI. We need to look past height and weight and focus on more in-depth criteria. We could save lives from eating disorders and depression from this.
