"The experience of being body-shamed can be painful and humiliating for adolescents. Today, young people sometimes feel like they're under siege from shaming-at school, online, and even from their own family members. Body-shaming has been linked with eating disorders and psychological issues. This informative and timely title describes the issue and provides a toolkit of actions and ideas that can help teens cope with body-shaming. Savvy teens can learn to recognize and resist the unrealistic body ideals perpetuated by social media and the fashion industry and cultivate a positive and accepting attitude toward their own body"--.
