Can you Relate...
Are you worried that you don't
fit in with your friends?
Do you feel like you are too fat,
too skinny, too small, too tall?
Are you spending too much time
on the computer e mailing,
IM-ing, or blogging?
Do you worry about being more popular?
Are you becoming more and more withdrawn, not wanting
to interact with your family or friends?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then our
group on Health and Body Image might be for you.

In U.S. society women are portrayed
as paper thin models or athletes with
not an ounce of body fat. It is almost
impossible to live up to these images.
Young women are supposed to
be social, popular, and have
a boyfriend who adores them.
They are supposed to excel in
their studies, get into a good
school, get engaged when
they graduate and marry
the man of their dreams.
And of course, live happily ever after.
Unfortunately all too often this is not the case and
young women feel all sorts of pressures and anxiety.
This group will help them explore the basic problems
with these social assumptions, will empower them to
make sensible choices and decisions, and will help to
foster their self esteem and self confidence.
It is a fun group; it is a serious group. But most of all, it
is an empowering group.
If you are experiencing the see-saws of being a
teen--mood swings or anger, let us help.

body image and self-esteem for young women. Tell us
your story. Hear other young women tell theirs.
