Sign the school petition and get body confidence on the curriculum
July 24, 2009 - 1:57 pm
Hi!
I’m running a Teenage Body Confidence campaign, which is seeking to alleviate the rising body image problems in the UK’s 12-20 year olds. I want to tackle confidence issues early so they don’t have a chance to develop, as I believe young women in the UK are being consumed and held back by their lack of self esteem.
My campaign will use three different approaches to tackle the growing pressures women face:
1. I am challenging magazines to take more responsibility and to use a range of different sized models
2. With the help of experts and psychologists I will be instructing families and peers on how to support and help teenagers
3. I’m trying to modify the national curriculum to include 1 hour every year on body confidence
It’s a big task and I need all your support! So please follow me on twitter (@missnakedbeauty) or facebook, sign my petition at number10 and do my online survey.
I would be so grateful and you will have helped all the young women in the UK!
