 Body Positive 

What we think of our bodies is heavily influenced by messages
sent to us by the media. Some young people are resorting to drastic measures to meet the standards
that are being set.
Agony aunt Donna gives some serious advice to teenagers Jake and Chi. Eleven topics
are covered, including eating disorders, cosmetic surgery, relationships, acne,
and body modification.
Aims:
During this activity, students will explore the concept of
body image. After completing the activity and accompanying worksheets, students
should be able to:
- Define the term body image
- Discuss what factors affect perceptions of the body,
such as the media
- Understand how to keep a positive body image
