10a/ Do you think there is too much pressure on teenage girls to be thin?
Yes No

10b/ If yes, where are these pressures coming from? I'm currently doing my irp on the 'problems teens face' so can kinda realte to ur topic also. I believe that girls have alot of pressure put on them to be thin by the pressures put onto them from society they feel weighed down by the expectations of society to be thin, look good, look lik dat person or that person and so on and these pressures even lead to people who r thin to feel fat also and leads to the many eating disorders there are today. so i think these pressures come from society and then the individuals inner self and feeling of wanting to meet these expectations due to them feeling pressured and insecure about themselves also...

11/ Any other comments? no i think i wrote enough above that u may be able to use for any extra info lol, hope i helped :)

7/ Have you ever felt you should be on a diet?

Always Sometimes Never
I've considered eating healthier, but not for the purpose of losing weight.


8a/ Would you ever consider plastic surgery?

Yes No


8b/ If yes, what would you get done and why?
-


9a/ Is there anything you would change about your body?

Yes No


9b/ If yes please state:
It would be great if I could gain weight!


9c/ What are your reasons for wanting the change
This is mainly so I can actually endure the cold, the sports I do etc. and fit into more clothes.


10a/ Do you think there is too much pressure on teenage girls to be thin?
Yes No - I'm in the middle. If girls want to succumb to the pressure and obsess about their weight, they will. The media doesn't purposely pressure girls, and I think most of them know that; they just want a goal to achieve, and that happens to be one i guess.

10b/ If yes, where are these pressures coming from?

If there are pressures, I suppose they come from magazines...but I think these are unintentional - some girls just take them to be pressures although they know models are digitally enhanced.


11/ Any other comments?
I think there is far too much media focus on being "fat". What about girls who believe they are too skinny? It's not as if we have it well off or something, there are plenty of things that come with being skinny as well. I personally don't choose to be this way, but it's not exactly easy to gain weight. On the other hand, I don't obsess over my weight and believe that this is just the way I am and will be.
