Hannah - CNN Blog About Adolescent Body Image

http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/blogs/paging.dr.gupta/2007/08/pre-teen-body-image-issues.html

This blog post from a CNN Blog written by Dr. Gupta touches on the ever apparent body image ideals that young girls are expressing today...such as calling themselves fat when in reality they are not. In this post Dr. Gupta talks about how young pre-teens are feeling more pressure to be "thin" and that the root of the problem stems from what they see and hear from the media as well as what they hear and see in their own family dynamics. Gupta writes about how girls perceive body image as it is glorified in magazines, television shows, music videos, and other forms of popular culture.
