Description

Teens learn how media messages and social pressures to fit in affect self-perception. Quizzes, surveys, and problem-solving exercises help readers develop a more positive body image by tearing down myths about "ideal" body weight and shape. The risks associated with poor body image -- eating disorders, smoking, and taking steroids -- are detailed. The importance of a healthy diet and regular exercise is stressed. Interactive features cover why we are the way we are, healthy weight control, the benefits of exercise, and how to improve one's lifestyle.
