The media plays a big part in a teen's body image. Advertising in teen magazines and on teen television typically glamorizes thing models who do not resemble the average person. In fact, today's women models generally weigh 23% less than the average woman.
The average young person in the United States sees approximately 13,000 to 30,000 advertisements each year on television alone and possibly hundreds more a day via magazines, billboards, and the internet.1 With all that exposure, your teenager may be getting the wrong message about body image much too often.
Media targeting teenage girls tends to emphasize the ideal of thinness as beauty. When you stop and think about the fact that the average height and weight for a model are 5'10" and 110 pounds and the height and weight for the average woman are 5'4" and 145 pounds it's easy to see why this creates a tremendous health risk for young girls.
The problem of the media using girls who are very thin and not healthy has not gotten better over the years, even though the issues it causes for teen girls have become well known.
Television shows, movies, and other forms of popular culture often glamorize thinness as the beauty ideal. Popular culture often only depict thin individuals and offers little representation of other body types, shapes, and sizes. Such depictions can contribute to body issues and, potentially, eating disorders.
The adolescent period is a time when exposure to these messages can be particularly damaging. The onset of puberty and the ensuing physical changes that this developmental stage brings can lead to feelings of insecurity and poor body image.
It is important to note that boys are not immune to this. Parents need to be aware that boys can develop body image issues as well, whether such concerns center on weight, musculature, or some other internalized beauty ideal.
It is also important to encourage your child to watch shows that depict characters who look like them. Shows where the kids look like your teen and their friends with regular body weights are the way to go. Show that depict normal as being the real normal.
You can help your daughter minimize the media's impact on her body image by:
If your child is struggling with body image issues that are affecting self-esteem, mood, or even eating behavior, talk to your child's doctor. Your teen may benefit from talking to a mental health professional.

YALSA has launched the Teen Book Finder Database, which is a one-stop shop for finding selected lists and award winners. Users can search this free resource by award, list name, year, author, genre and more, as well as print customizable lists. This new resource will replace the individual award and list web pages currently on YALSA’s site that are not searchable and that are organized only by year.
The Teens' Top Ten is a "teen choice" list, where teens nominate and choose their favorite books of the previous year! Nominators are members of teen book groups in fifteen school and public libraries around the country. Nominations are posted on the Thursday of National Library Week, and teens across the country vote on their favorite titles each year. Readers ages twelve to eighteen will vote online between August 15 - October 15 here on the Teens' Top Ten site. The winners will be announced the following week after.
