  7. Questionnaire – T or F? Fact 2: • The above principle (fact 1) is not the same for boys. Boys don’t suffer from any image-related issues.

  12. Questionnaire – T or F? Fact 7: • As early as school entry, girls already appear to live in a culture that transmits the thin ideal in a way that negatively influences the development of body image and self-esteem.

  13. Questionnaire – T or F? Fact 8: • 84% of girls would rather be a men’s magazine model than a doctor, teacher or nurse.

  17. Reflection • What would we do differently? • If we could do the unit framework differently we would be more specific that body image is a male issue too. • It is easy to pretend that body image is only a girl issue because the resources are so abundant for how to help them.

  18. Message • Body image is more than just a female issue and teacher should make more of an effort to address both sides.
