One of the main problems among teenage girls was their worry about the body image. They compared themselves with other beautiful and fit girls in their class or even some celebrities and they strongly wished to look like them. This unhealthy self-esteem led to serious eating disorders and such illnesses as anorexia and bulimia. Girls refused to eat food in order to change their body shape and to become skinny and then gradually they could not eat at all.
Most teenagers didn’t know how to cope with their problems because they didn’t feel like sharing their emotions and discussing them with their parents or friends. Young people were usually afraid of disapproval and misunderstanding. In this case it might be useful to consult a professional psychologist who could offer some good advice and probably gave a helping hand.
