1/ Do you think you are:

a/ Too fat Just Right (a little overweight)

b/ Just Right

c/ Attractive


2/ Are you happy with your body and the way you look?
Sometimes (MOSTLY)

3/ Have you ever disliked your body and appearance?
Sometimes

4/ Do you ever overly worry or obsess about your body?
Never

5/ Have you ever tried to lose weight?
Yes

6/ Have you ever been on a diet? (Voluntarily)
No

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

8a/ Would you ever consider plastic surgery?
No. Only the the kind they do to reduce scarring after medical surgery.



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

9b/ If yet please state
I need to lose a bit of weight. And I'd do electrolysis to get rid of hair longer, only to save me from having to shave.

9c/ What are your reasons for wanting the change?_______________________­­­­­­_____
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

10a/ Do you think there is too much pressure on teenage girls to be thin?
There's a bit, but yeah it's healthier to be less fat. There is too much emphasis on just how thin, though. A girl should not want people to see her spine or her ribs sticking out.

10b/ If yes, where are these pressures coming from?
Sometimes from family. This kind is the worst. But also from friends, guys, magazines etc.

11/ Any other comments?
Clothes hang better on skinny people so being a bit overweight or not liking your body shape can restrict what you will and won't wear. A lot.

ey, what do you expect
it was actually pretty hard to answer. More options like "mostly, rarely" needed. Broader range of answers cause for most of the questions I thought that none of the answers available were right.:)

11/ Any other comments? _______________________________________________
_________Media plays perhaps the biggest role, in my opinion, in putting across an image of what people "should" look like. but i think it can also come down to culture and 'materialisticness' of a society- eg, in east asian countries, you'll see that sure their celebrities are just as skinny but the eating disorder figures are considerably less than in western countries. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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

8a/ Would you ever consider plastic surgery?

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

9b/ If yet please state
my nose, my eyesight, my eyebrows, my figure, my hair colour, my skin: complexion and blemishes and stuff, my teeth

9c/ What are your reasons for wanting the change
i think my nose is to big, my eyebrows aren't as thin as what i see other girls have, my teeth have a big gap: now when do you see models or actors with crap teeth? brown hair is boring, not at all exotic, um i feel i'm blocky....my eyesight is pretty crap and i'm not a fan of contacts so there's not much chance for me to considered beautiful ever

10a/ Do you think there is too much pressure on teenage girls to be thin?
Yes

10b/ If yes, where are these pressures coming from? ]
our selves, we perpetuate this idea of "beauty" and if we continue to say what is pretty and what is ugly then how can we ever fit all the critera of being "beautiful" as we continue to perpetuate these ideas of beauty the media and the entertainment industry, and cosmetic industries will continue to promote and reflect our own ideals.

11/ Any other comments?
Beauty if all in the eye of the beholder but ultimately beauty is a construct of society, if we say we're pretty and be a nice person ultimately that will come though in our looks, we may not be textbook pretty but people will believe you are pretty if you have a nice demeanour...

hope that didn't sound too poncy and gay.

to make clothes/shoe shopping easier

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?
Media. peers. ourselves.
although there are also lots of stories of celebrites being accused of annorexia or stories about their treatment and its harm, so its not totally onesided.

11/ Any other comments?
in general im a pretty positive person. I dont stress to much over what i look like, its probably just laziness. I dont have the most amazing body ever but it doesnt really concern me. I'm a nit of a nerd though, at a selective school where body image isnt really an issue.
Body Image messages in the media would mean less to me than my health. I'd rather eat what i want and then excercise than starve myslef
