The Mirror in My Mind: Body Image & Self-Esteem prev. part 2

We live in a media saturated world where we are constantly bombarded with images of supposedly "beautiful people." Everywhere we look - in magazines, on bilboards, on TV, and in the movies, there are surgicaly perfected women who are unrealistically thin and men whose muscles ripple and bulge. How can the rest of us measure up to these standards? and why should we? This video explores and explains the damages these cultural forces can do to a young persons developing sense of self-worth. Many teenagers are likely to develop a negative body image if they feel their body deviates too far from the "cultural norm." In extreme cases, these negative body images can develop into body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) sometimes called the "disease of imagined ugliness." Real-life tesitmonials from young people who struggled with realted issues such as: steroid abuse, anorexia, and bulimia provide a keen insight to the hazards body image anxieties can create. This video offers strategies that teens can use to feel good about themselves and about their bodies. Some of the learning objectives are: students will consider the role that body image plays in the development of self-esteem - students will learn to eliminate negative self-talk - provides tips for improving self-esteem - learn the symtoms of BDD - learn that physical perfection is not a goal worth chasing. part 2 preview time approx: 04:00, total run time: 29:00 minutes.

Body image and self-esteem issues strike all types of people. Unfortunately, no one is immune. It is NOT flatering to be called "skinny." I am sorry you feel like there is no one to help but it sounds like you have a good understanding of the challenges facing every developing teen. Life will not feel like this forever - try helping others you know with similar challenges ... and yes, it does suck - but not forever.

@JesusManson323 Wow, I hope you don't have a wife/girlfriend. It's insensitive men like you who ravage girls' self-esteem.

[JesusManson323]

BOO FUCKING HOO! Put some makeup on and stop bitching. Men hate crybaby women who don't take some pride in their appearance.
