Today I am lean but muscular, an amateur martial artist. I am largely content with it, but do sometimes miss the innocent appearance of my youth. I am unable to embrace the manly image. Who I am is not determined by hormones that I didn't even have for the first 12 years of my life. How can most people define themselves so completely by something that wasn't originally part of them?
@waldoman7 It is our choices that define who we truly are,not our abilities or appearances.Appearances change throughout time anyway. I like to live by this, aging is inevitable,but growing up is optional. I may make it to 100,but I will always love the goth subculture,style,and music.And you may even see me swinging at the playground one day ;)
.I loved my appearance as a child in every way. I prefered being skinny and fast. I liked being small enough to disapear and weave through a crowd. I thought my face looked cheerful with just the right dash of cool. I rebelled against the macho man image, since the people who sought it were largely arrogant, foolish, and blind to the many weaknesses that their path brought.
As a teen I was both insecure about being small and yet reluctant to bulk up and look like the thing I hated. (cont.)
@Princebaldwin21 that's okay as long as you're happy? if you feel good about yourself while doing it then that's a good thing right? it's when people feel inadequate because of the way they look and feel helpless about it
for me it's not the people in magazines that make me feel uncomfortable, it's the people i know, the kids and teenagers in real life that hold themselves up to those unrealistic standards that are so much prettier and skinnier than i could ever be
@abcgurlieluvs totally agree, I don't give a shit about celebrities in magazines because I know they have private chefs and personal trainers, it's everywhere you look in real life and see beautiful shaped girls that makes you feel shit haha
i think the danger lies in not feeling powerfull enough. the teenagers are not able to feel free cause they have to go to school, do what their parents say they feel powerless. thats how they get to focus on their bodyimage. and its just so easy! everything works as plant u see results immediatelly! that sucks you in. having a flat stomache over night! why not skipping breakfast for thinner thights?!?! so fast and easy they feel the controll it gives. and one day the environment responses.
People are just plain weak. Grow a god dam backbone and stand up for what you know is right. If you feel you life is shit and going down the toilet eating that 5th cream pie isn't going to fix it. Getting that ripped 6pack or that lean look for the females is only external. If you live your life by what other people think your nothing more than a mindless zombie and you will never be fulfilled with anything. Get your priorities straight.
It takes time. And during that time you get discouraged especially impatient teenagers then you give up and become worse. It's all a long process that you can't do alone without support of those around you. But, it's always too hard to ask for help on looking "better" from a person who looks.. "better".
@DevoidOfFeelings just because something is natural,doesn't make it right. My best friend and me starved ourselves for weeks. That was our natural,but that doesn't make it right. I can cut myself so badly sometimes that I'll pass out. That's my natural,doesn't make it right. Everyday I expect my father to judge me,and make fun of me,and make me feel like crap about myself. THAT IS MY NATURAL. Is that right? Don't watch this video and think to yourself that teenagers should just GET OVER IT.
A bunch of people don't pay attention to male body image as much as they do female body image. I feel inadequate because I don't have enough muscle mass or I don't have a six pack or a big chest.
I think theres an imbalance between the focus on anorexia/bulimia and binge eating. I would like to see a video about people who overeat rather than under-eat. more people in the US are overweight, rather than underweightor healthy and i think that overweight teens SHOULD be concerned about their weight for health reasons. make a body image video that interviews overweight teens and why they over-eat. The same media pressures us to undereat also pressures us to overeat.
@cformosa4 have you seen the film? It does focus on that issue. One of the students that filmed for us was dealing with that exact same issue. Once you see the film let us know your thoughts, I think you will be happy to see that we did cover this issue from all angles. And interestingly enough the reason why people over eat is the same reason why they under eat. Same with steroids. It is a self-esteem issue and they are compensating for the way they feel inside.
@teentruthlive oh wow! i am excited to see this film now! I didn't see any obese or heavier individuals in the trailer but i look forward to watching the film.
@lindsayasyoulikeit - You are very lucky to have been able to recover without any help. Many sufferers do need help - from friends, family, and health professionals. If the film didn't make you want to accept yourself, I hope my story did. The whole reason I share my truth is to support people in accepting themselves and each other for who they are naturally. The film purposely does not show images of anorexia. They are triggering. If you don't think we get you, I hope you share your truth w/us.
@lindsayasyoulikeit - Thank you for your note. You are very lucky to have been able to recover without any help. Many sufferers do need help - from friends, family, and health professionals. I shared with you how hard it was to face and tell my truth - it's not easy. I hope you remember the whole point of what I shared with you: we need to accept ourselves and each other was we are naturally. If you think we don't understand your experience, I challenge you to share it!
I saw this at school and i was really disappointed. I was anorexic when I was 4th grade and 5th grade. I was able to overcome it without any help, and no one knew. However, I still wish I could be as thin as I used to be. Your video did not make me want to accept myself. It made me embarassed that I did all that to be thin and it made me feel like everyone could tell I did all that. Also, the images that you showed for anoxeria were all wrong. Its like you have not idea what its really like.
this video made me rage so hard.... If you are EVER ENTIRELY SATISFIED WITH ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN BETTER YOURSELF IN, yes anything be it knowledge, physical abilities, social skills etc etc. you are a goddamn failure at life. What happened to it being ab out the journey and not the destination? We have a fucking obesity epidemic in America. Obesity will outrun smoking as the leading preventable cause of death before long. so keep up your feel good shit while people get triple bypass surgery.
@funkkiller Thank you for your comment. This is a 3 minute trailer from a 22 minute film. Also please note, the film is shot by students who are telling their truth, how they feel about this issue. I am glad this trailer prompted a reaction from you. It made you think which is exactly what our films are designed to do. I hope in the future you will be more open to what other people feel instead of what you WANT other people to feel.
@teentruthlive I don't WANT anyone to feel anything. Everything I'm saying is based off of the purely factual. Granted, mindset should be your own option but if you're overweight/obese which a large percentage of teens are then that's just how it is. I don't see how you people can be behind this whole deluding yourself thing. Well maybe you're all just fat and I'm wasting my time. have fun being mediocre in a temporary life.
@funkkiller In four years our films are used in every US state and other countries and have been viewed by over 3.2 million people. Not once has a student every said that what they saw was fake. We don't understand what the "deluding yourself thing" is. Our purpose is to give students a voice, challenge them to think and empower them to be the difference. It sounds like you don't think that is a good idea. Thank you again for your comments. We are glad you were heard.
@teentruthlive also don't fucking kid me, YOU FOUND TEENS THAT SPOKE ABOUT WHAT THEY FELT? NO YOU DIDN'T ASSHOLE, YOU FOUND TEENS THAT HAD THE SAME OPINION AS YOU THEN FILMED THEM SPEAKING ON A MOST LIKELY PROMPTED WAY THAT WAS THEN CUT TO PROMOTE YOUR AGENDA. FUCK YOU LOLOLOL
@funkkiller Asshole? We don't understand why you are using profanity when we are merely engaging in a discussion. We feel you are making assumptions without knowing the facts. We made the film so we will tell you what we did. We actually had teens from five different schools from the US and Canada. Everyone of the students volunteered to be a part of the project. Three of the students actually were given cameras and filmed on their own. It was there truth, not ours.
I can Say I love my body. I honestly do. But I work out everyday twice a day. I work hard for my body. But I always still want to be thinner. Girls on my swim team are soo small and thin. Its hard to be taller than them it makes me think im bigger.
...So its wrong to be concerned with your fittness....iv met so many people lately that cant run for 10min...thats pretty sad...(people around my age, 19)
Im 21 years old 165cm 68kg and I cant go out of the house of meet my boyfriend if im not dresses sexy (looking thinner) and hair/make up done cause otherwise I feel ugly. Its so frustratin and time consuming. I know its a problem and its so hard to fix
I'm fat. and ugly. people just dont understand that I WON'T change when I'm an adult-my facial features will always be the same and I don't think I'll ever lose the weight:/
We need to learn to see ourselves as Christ sees us. We are fearfully and wonderfully made as the bible says. So done with tryna live up to the worlds standards of beauty, and other expectations, etc. Satan has taught us to believe a lie and it's sad. We get so busy tryna do these outwardly things with ourselves that we can forget about whats on the inside.
i feel like that that im fat and ugly because people say that i am and it herts so much i feel like there is no one cares about you and you get diprest all the time and it make me want to kill my self because im fat and ugly
Is it bad I don't believe you should ever be "Good Enough", always value yourself and others with high regaurd, but note that there is more for you to do in anything. Body is another thing of which you can always improve. Is this a bad notion? Not at all I think.
One more reason of the millions of reasons why we need to change this system and base it on equality and dignity for life, where we stop exploiting people and making them ionsecure because of money. And stop judging each other on the picture we present in this world.

hope U read my other post.. but I am in my 50's very fit and lean, I get asked over and over again in the gym by younger guys how do I do it and I say its all hard work, eating right, sleeping, all natural, and it takes time.. you'd be shocked how many of them As me about steroids, some understand what I tell them others still don't get it with the life long side effects and can tell want it.. I feel sad about USA these days.. no one wants to achieve success from hard work it's all I Want it now
OMG this Generation is F'd UP.. .... lack of self respect is due to mom and dad not doing their duty to help the younger generation learn Reality. If someone doesn't have time to be with ones child THEN THEY SHOULDN'T have one! Come ON its NO easy task bring life into this modern world. "I FEEL" most of today's issues about almost everything is due to people just creating life without thinking about it planning ahead, over population, etc. Letting TV program ones child is NOT parenting.
Great video! I had this problem as a teen and it developed into an eating disorder that almost killed me. I am now and author (book title: A Future for Tomorrow) and public speaker. Thanks for making videos like this. I would love to share my web site and trailer with you. Search on here under A Future for Tomorrow Surviving Anorexia and it should pull up my book's trailer and an interview I did. afuturefortomorrow. com
Teen Truth Live. I agree with this program, and what its trying to do. But, one thing i still believe is stupid in these programs is the thing on drugs. Yah sure, meth heroin cocaine, all that is useless. But instead of bashing those things, you bash on marijuana the most. Why? Marijuana has been proved to have many medical benefits, and all those other things have been known to cause death. how many people have ever died on marijuana? none. lets focus on the real troubles, meth heroin etc.
@oreowithmilk1 Thank you for your comment, we appreciate any and all feedback. We have found by interviewing over 15 diverse addicts that have ruined
their lives through drug use that MARIJUANA was the GATEWAY drug.
Every addict that we have spoken to started smoking pot and this use lead to every other drug. The truth is that any illicit drug abuse can be dangerous."
@teentruthlive Well, If they would actually use it as a gateway drug, then they need to seek medical attention. If they are so oblivious to the fact they have heard so much about how chemical drugs(meth cocaine etc) is so bad for you, then have a mind WEAK enough to actually do it, then they deserve there lives to be ruined. if they are so oblivious to there own health and life, then they can forget my sympathy.
@oreowithmilk1 Hey have you seen the film? It talks about all this stuff. You might really like to watch it. It will probably change your view on drug abuse. unfortunately many people get lost in the abuse and hide the true issues that they are working so hard to mask.
@teentruthlive i believe marijuana is what you make of it, if you make it into a gateway drug, then thats your problem. if you dont, then good for you.
@oreowithmilk1 : Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabinol is a drug. Period. No one "deserves" to have their lives ruined, and THC is a chemical. Cocaine's active ingredient, benzoylmethylecgonine, is a natural component of the coca bush, too. Do you want to argue that because it is "natural" it is not harmful? he truth is that drugs are harmful. And until someone is using other drugs, we cannot label pot as a "gateway" drug. Pot use makes you dumb, and cases cancer. Period.
@dhead64 coca bush wont get you high. cocaine is not straight from the plant, chemicals get mixed into coca to make cocaine. marijuana is straight from the plant. if marijuana gave you CANCER they wouldnt recommend it to CANCER PATIENT. native americans that smoke tobacco straight from the plant live to be 105 years old. ciggarette tobacco, gets chemicals added. tobacco straight from the plant wont kill you. just the same as weed straight from the plant wont kill you. get your facts straight.
@teentruthlive Thats because usually whoever you get pot from also has other drugs. Marijuana is simply less obtruse than other drugs. Teens know that. You said, "The truth is that any illicit drug abuse can be dangerous." Abuse of any kind can be dangerous. When used correctly, anything can be a medicine. When abused, anything can be a poison. Even watching too many YouTube videos: my neck is starting to hurt. Think I'll smoke a bowl. Have a good day.
@DazzieMetallikat theres never been 1 account in the history of the world saying marijuana has been responsible for a death. it has been scientifically proven that you cant overdose on THC(Tetrahydrocannabinol) and it can not be addictive. they give it to cancers patients. stop believing everything you hear.
Lets see, it destroys your body, it's addictive so it makes you want to keep buying it (( In most cases sucking up all of your money )) there are a million reasons why it should stay illegal.
i had a friend who was really cool start doing steroids at the age of 13 and he became, aggressive, he started trash talking about every body, and if somebody tried to stand up for themselves, he would just beat them up. he ended up having no friends at the end of 8th grade, and eventually, somebody socked him in the mouth and shattered his jaw and knocked out his teeth. i think he deserved it, but ever since then, people teas him. its hard to think he used to actually be a good friend...
@saharahottie lmao! kinda weird to think of this but at 13 you dont need something stunting the growth of your balls, you need all the help you can get! :P
I just helped volunteer at a showing in my town for this documentary. awesome film! got to listen to kayla speak in person, and realized my good friend matt is in this!!
Teen truth just came to my school today and it was amazing. I loved hearing Erahm Christopher speak. Really awesome videos and speaches. Made a lot of people think.

Great video! I had this problem as a teen and it developed into an eating disorder that almost killed me. I am now and author (book title: A Future for Tomorrow) and public speaker. Thanks for making videos like this. I would love to share my web site and trailer with you. Search on here under A Future for Tomorrow Surviving Anorexia and it should pull up my book's trailer and an interview I did. afuturefortomorrow. com

Teen Truth Live. I agree with this program, and what its trying to do. But, one thing i still believe is stupid in these programs is the thing on drugs. Yah sure, meth heroin cocaine, all that is useless. But instead of bashing those things, you bash on marijuana the most. Why? Marijuana has been proved to have many medical benefits, and all those other things have been known to cause death. how many people have ever died on marijuana? none. lets focus on the real troubles, meth heroin etc.

@oreowithmilk1 Thank you for your comment, we appreciate any and all feedback. We have found by interviewing over 15 diverse addicts that have ruined
their lives through drug use that MARIJUANA was the GATEWAY drug.
Every addict that we have spoken to started smoking pot and this use lead to every other drug. The truth is that any illicit drug abuse can be dangerous."

@teentruthlive Well, If they would actually use it as a gateway drug, then they need to seek medical attention. If they are so oblivious to the fact they have heard so much about how chemical drugs(meth cocaine etc) is so bad for you, then have a mind WEAK enough to actually do it, then they deserve there lives to be ruined. if they are so oblivious to there own health and life, then they can forget my sympathy.

@oreowithmilk1 Hey have you seen the film? It talks about all this stuff. You might really like to watch it. It will probably change your view on drug abuse. unfortunately many people get lost in the abuse and hide the true issues that they are working so hard to mask.

@teentruthlive i believe marijuana is what you make of it, if you make it into a gateway drug, then thats your problem. if you dont, then good for you.

@teentruthlive and doctors wouldnt prescribe it to cancer patients if it was bad for you.

@oreowithmilk1 : Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabinol is a drug. Period. No one "deserves" to have their lives ruined, and THC is a chemical. Cocaine's active ingredient, benzoylmethylecgonine, is a natural component of the coca bush, too. Do you want to argue that because it is "natural" it is not harmful? he truth is that drugs are harmful. And until someone is using other drugs, we cannot label pot as a "gateway" drug. Pot use makes you dumb, and cases cancer. Period.

@dhead64 coca bush wont get you high. cocaine is not straight from the plant, chemicals get mixed into coca to make cocaine. marijuana is straight from the plant. if marijuana gave you CANCER they wouldnt recommend it to CANCER PATIENT. native americans that smoke tobacco straight from the plant live to be 105 years old. ciggarette tobacco, gets chemicals added. tobacco straight from the plant wont kill you. just the same as weed straight from the plant wont kill you. get your facts straight.

@teentruthlive Thats because usually whoever you get pot from also has other drugs. Marijuana is simply less obtruse than other drugs. Teens know that. You said, "The truth is that any illicit drug abuse can be dangerous." Abuse of any kind can be dangerous. When used correctly, anything can be a medicine. When abused, anything can be a poison. Even watching too many YouTube videos: my neck is starting to hurt. Think I'll smoke a bowl. Have a good day.

Marijuana is destructive and addictive. It should STAY illegal.
Especially since there are millions of teens out there who could easily get addicted and die from the stuff.

@DazzieMetallikat theres never been 1 account in the history of the world saying marijuana has been responsible for a death. it has been scientifically proven that you cant overdose on THC(Tetrahydrocannabinol) and it can not be addictive. they give it to cancers patients. stop believing everything you hear.

@oreowithmilk1
Lets see, it destroys your body, it's addictive so it makes you want to keep buying it (( In most cases sucking up all of your money )) there are a million reasons why it should stay illegal.
Stop believing everything YOU randomally think.

Where could I get some good steroids?

i had a friend who was really cool start doing steroids at the age of 13 and he became, aggressive, he started trash talking about every body, and if somebody tried to stand up for themselves, he would just beat them up. he ended up having no friends at the end of 8th grade, and eventually, somebody socked him in the mouth and shattered his jaw and knocked out his teeth. i think he deserved it, but ever since then, people teas him. its hard to think he used to actually be a good friend...
