I want to know more about the body image of young people, thanks!

You’re welcome.

Thanks a lot.

Body image and self-esteem are prominent issues for young people, particularly during adolescence as they experience the physical changes associated with puberty. Westernised societies are known to produce an unhealthy pursuit of the ‘perfect’ slim or muscular body. This unrealistic ideal creates unnecessary pressure on young males and females to engage in social comparison and can lead to profoundly negative effects on well-being, via the development of poor body image, high body dissatisfaction, and low self-esteem. These changes are linked to both the development of eating disturbances and physical health problems.
