Watch Body Image Obsession

This Parents' Choice Award-winning program examines the growing trend of childhood obsession with body image. An estimated 60% of high school girls are dissatisfied with their bodies and on a diet, and seven million young women have eating disorders. From the media's influence on self-image and the growing trend of cosmetic surgery among teens to devastating diseases such as body dysmorphic disorder, this eye-opening program features true stories of teens who see themselves as less than "perfect," and how this anxiety may threaten their health. This program encourages viewers to analyze advertising images, and to nurture self-esteem by developing strong character rather than focusing on surface beauty.
