Our kids are the first generation that will live a shorter lifespan than their parents.
That word from Dr. Sohrab Lutchmedial, a heart specialist overseeing the Health Report Card Day at St. Stephen High School.
Grade 10 students were tested on things such as cholesterol, Body Mass Index and self-esteem.
Dr. Lutchmedial says its all about educating the kids.
He says we realize they have to start when the kids are at school instead of dragging them to a hospital setting.
The school will now offer interventions for mental health, an on-site dietitian, as well as opening the gym after school to give students an extra chance to exercise.
