Discussion: Adolescent Body Image
Adolescence is a developmental period with many physical changes for both females and males. It can be frustrating for adolescents to understand and cope with these physical changes. These frustrations are exacerbated by peer and media pressure to have an idealized body image, and are compounded by the availability of high fat and calorie food, along with media and peer pressure to consume such food. The combination of these factors can prove overwhelming for some adolescents, creating the potential for eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, or overeating.
To prepare for this Discussion, consider how the genders differ in their concerns over weight and body image. Also take a position on media influences on weight and body image and find a media example to support your position.
You are asked to share the media example you selected. You should either provide a link to, or scan an image from, a magazine or newspaper or provide a link to a video clip from the Internet.

Support your positions with appropriate citations and references to illustrate how these concerns have evolved. Cite your references using APA format. Provide links to the media example you selected.
