Of course, teenage guys are getting bigger too, but it seems to be us women who have it worse. I know that when I was in high school (which, OK, was ten years ago), girls either were or weren't athletes. If you weren't in a varsity sport, you didn't run for fun, play pickup basketball, or hike. But the guys who didn't do sports were frequently out playing basketball or skateboarding at lunch. And the pathetic amount of PE required at my school didn't keep you in shape, and taking extra PE when you could be in academic classes wasn't a great idea for the serious-minded students.
And if you're larger in high school, you're going to be bigger in college. As America gets larger, I am amazed at the sororities who still managed to be composed of tiny women!
