The Development of Body Image in Young Girls and Adolescent Women

"I would like to be taller, but if there is only curly hair, it will be very beautiful, I am happy if it gets thinner Why can not I become like her?" These are young girls. Frequently commented, they feel pressure to have ideal physical characteristics. This pressure gradually increases as the girl grows older and is influenced by the environment. This pressure peaked when the girl entered the lady. External influences change throughout the lifecycle, but they continue to play an important role.

The purpose of these two blog posts is to show the influence of social media on girls and teenage physical images. Both groups are most psychologically most vulnerable and are therefore most susceptible to eating disorders, elevated, anxious or depressed (Pai & Schryver, 2015). To understand how social media affect someone's body image, we must explain what the latter is. Plato used to deeply explain the strong influence of our appearance on our mental state, saying "Our bodies are bound to our bodies like oysters." Cash (2004) defines a body image as a body image. It includes body-related self-awareness and self-attitudes, including thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and actions.

Men, women, children, teenagers, and adults - everyone may be affected by a negative body image. However, according to the survey, young people are particularly affected. Puberty is usually at the beginning of a negative body image, but without conscious change efforts, adults may be dissatisfied with the body image. The pressure to meet a certain "look and feel" comes from various parts of today's society. Information from media, people, friends, fellows has a negative effect. This is not useful for those who are too worried about the image of their body, participate in a weight loss diet, or talk about their body in a negative way.

Body image and dissatisfaction with unhealthy dietary behavior is an important issue for adolescent girls. Many young women think they want to lose weight by overweight. In one study, 44% of adolescent girls considered overweight, 60% were actively trying to lose weight, but most of these young girls were within normal weight range (15 ). Several cross-sectional studies report that there is a positive correlation between women's exposure to beauty and fashion magazines and weight gain or eating disorders. Field et al. (16), the importance of trying to look slim and like a woman on television in movies and magazines is that young girls (9 to 14 years old) start cleaning at least once a month Respectively.
