Public weighing
While high school is basically the home of all things humiliating in any country, there is something in particular that happens in American schools that really takes the biscuit: public weighing.
A lot of European schools still weigh smaller children, but most do it in private. Over here we like to do it as part of gym class and it’s not private at all. It’s not likely to reduce the number of teenagers obsessed with their weight, now is it?
