Students in school begin to establish an individual
identity outside the family unit. This can often begin to be influenced by unrealistic
media influences.

The increasing attention & intimacy of peers amplify physical differences that
become evident as bodies change and develop.
Physical appearance becomes a major factor in
peer & opposite sex relations

As adults, how can we help promote the development of a
positive & healthy body image?
![Page 8: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We need to be aware of risk &
protective factors
![Page 9: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Body dissatisfaction
is the single strongest predictor of
eating disorder symptomology for adolescents
![Page 12: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Body image is not based on fact. It’s psychological in nature, and much more influenced by self-esteem than by actual physical attractiveness as judged by others.
![Page 13: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Being an adolescent is tough …
• Teased by peers for being too fat, too weak, too soft• If you don’t play sports you’re a wimp or a geek• You have to measure up … perfection!
![Page 47: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

How do we help our kids make peace with their bodies and their body
image?
![Page 52: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• Help kids better understand how their bodies are not the same as everyone else's. • Listen to what your kids say & discourage “put-downs” about their appearance
•Reassure your children that you accept them “as is” … be careful how you suggest changes in dress, hair style, etc.
![Page 53: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• Encourage physical activities such as biking, walking, or roller-blading that enable kids to experience the physical strength of their bodies & the positive feeling of movement regardless of body shape or size
![Page 54: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Wearing favorite clothes or getting a new haircut often allow kids to feel comfortable with themselves
• Introduce kids to relaxation techniques which may help them become less sensitive to events that cause negative body feelings
![Page 55: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
• 50% of girls report using magazines for ideas about weight control … work with your school’s library to ensure that appropriate & healthy guides exist for nutrition and exercise
• Peer mentoring may be helpful to address body image & changes associated with puberty, with older students as role models.
![Page 56: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Finally ...
We can’t exchange our bodies for new ones. So the best thing is to find peace with the one you have. Your body is where you’re going to be living for the rest of your life!
![Page 57: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
BEAUTY PERSONIFIED
•SIZE ZERO
![Page 58: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Are they really beautiful?
•Aristotle called beauty the ‘gift of god’.
•Beauty is no longer god’s domain. It now rests in the hands of surgeons or cosmetologists. Like instant food, beauty treatments have also become instant.
![Page 59: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The Beauty Myth
• This issue is for women who believe their hair is boring, their skin is flawed, their body is shaped funny, or their clothes are outdated.
• This is for women who believe their life would improve if they could lose 15 pounds; if they could afford contact lenses, that new perfume or anti-cellulite concoction; if they got a nose job, a face lift, a tummy tuck, etc.
• This is for women who feel shameful or are unhappy when they look at themselves. In other words, this is for 99.9% of the women reading this and this is also for the men who care about their mothers, sisters and daughters.
![Page 60: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
SURVIVAL OF THE THINNESTSIZE-ZERO• Size 0 is a women's clothing
size in the US catalog sizes system, believed to be equivalent to a UK size 4 or a Europe size 32-34. It is also a concept within the fashion media relating to models with low body mass.
• Madrid Fashion Week 2006 prohibited models with a Body Mass Index below 18 — classified as unhealthy by the World Health Organization
• In fact, the average catwalk model has a BMI of just 16.
• Under such a ruling British supermodel Kate Moss would not be able to take part.
![Page 61: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
‘KILLER’ LOOKS
• The use of spindly models sets unrealistic standards of beauty that encourage young people to crash-diet at the expense of their health.
• "When the knee joint is wider than the thigh, it can be scary."
• Each year 150,000 American women die of anorexia. It is estimated that one woman student in five is anorexic.
• Holy grail of "beauty“- The Beauty Myth preaches that normal, round, healthy women's bodies are too fat; that women lacking the "perfect" face aren't attractive; that a woman over 30 who shows signs of life on her face is ugly.
![Page 62: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Weight Obsession and fear of Aging
• Adult women of diverse ages ranked weight loss far above all other goals in their lives. Dropping an elusive few pounds was specifically more important than family, personal relationships and career.
• Her calorie-conscious goal is to appear more youthful than her birth certificate as she gamely tries to extend her shelf life with various forms of self-punishing strategies and over-priced cosmetics.
![Page 63: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
CULTURAL FACTORS
• Our culture teaches women they can't be happy unless they are "beautiful"
• We forget that "beauty pornography" we may call it, pictures underweight models that are usually between 15-20 years old.
• We never see a picture of a woman who is not wearing makeup applied by an artist, hair professionally coiffed, clothes professionally designed or chosen. Any natural flaws or wrinkles in her skin are airbrushed out. Unsightly lumps or anomalies in her body are also airbrushed out.
![Page 64: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
• If you don't look as gaunt as the fashion models, then you should starve or exercise to get that way.
• If you have lines on your face, you should have them cut or burned off.
• If your thighs are round, have a doctor stick a vacuum cleaner under your skin and suck the fat out .
• If you don't look perfect, there must be something wrong with your willpower, because if you really wanted to you could.
![Page 65: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
THE FASHION INDUSTRY• Because I’m worth it.-
L’Oreal slogan• It’s what makes you a
woman, it’s a source of female power. Paloma Picasso, Fashion Designer, when asked about lipstick.
• Resolution Number 1: ‘I won’t leave the house without make-up’. From a ‘resolutions’ article in Superdrug’s ‘Spirit’ magazine Februaury 2001
• Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline. - Maybelline slogan
![Page 66: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
MEDIA GLARE• Every time you turn on the
television or flip through a magazine you are reminded of how society prefers to see women: beautiful and thin.
• Models make up less than 1% of the population. Yet the way the media portrays them, you would think the majority of women are drop-dead gorgeous and wear a size 0.
• Not to mention that almost all magazines air-brush their models. Some models in ads are not even real people, but are computer-generated images.
![Page 67: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
FEMALE LIBERATION• There is a relationship
between female liberation and female beauty
• Women breached the power structure; meanwhile, eating disorders rose exponentially and cosmetic surgery became the fastest-growing specialty
• More women have more money and power and scope and legal recognition than we have ever had before; but in terms of how women about themselves physically, they are actually worse than their unliberated grandmothers.
• How many folks have succumbed to the idea of the ugly feminist activist who is only a feminist because she's too undesirable to get a man?
![Page 68: Adolescent body image](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b94cfb4a7959702e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
CONCLUSION• We need to become much
more aware of how prevalent and damaging this kind of influence is on the women, it is very insidious--so much so that we accept it's pronouncements without a thought.
• You will soon be able to take a pill and, in 20 to 25 minutes, a non-synthetic substance will color your lips. Five years from now, you will be able to put a drop in your eyes to change their color
• Clearly, to be and stay beautiful has always been made to be the ultimate goal for a woman.
• The trouble is that till there is an organized way to challenge the beauty phenomenon, things will not change.

• It is about believing that you really are an attractive, desirable woman who has a lot to offer.

Is this real beauty???
• It’s midsummer, and the air is thick with the smell of fake tan. The honey-limbed lovelies are out on the razzle in a blur of high heels, faux-Vuitton handbags, and hoicked-up bosoms. They flick their highlighted hair hither, thither, and rat-a-tat-tat their false nails on the counter, trying to catch the barman’s eye.
