Body image ﹣ the way people feel about their looks ﹣ is a big problem for many young people today.According to a study,more than half the teenage girls in the USA think they should be on a diet(节食),and almost one in five teenage boys are happy about their bodies and their weight.
But what's the cause?In the study,many blame(责备)the media(媒体).Turn on the TV and you'll probably see beautiful models,handsome actors and fit sports stars.Open a magazine or a newspaper,look through the Internet,and it's usually the same.
Many young people feel pressure to look like these "perfect" people.But for most,this is just not possible.In the USA,the average(平均的)woman is 163 cm tall and weighs 64 kilos,but the average model is 180 cm tall and weighs 53 kilos.
When people don't look the way many famous people look,they may become less confident.Some stop eating properly in order to lose weight.Students can lose so much confidence that they start to stop taking part in classroom activities at school.
Body image problems don't disappear as we get older,either.In the UK,for example,women over 50 spend more money on cosmetics(化妆品)than any other age group.Older men spend a lot of money trying to avoid hair loss(损失).
Is there a solution to the problem?A 2016 study in the UK suggested that body image lessons should be provided in schools.Others believe it's a problem that all of society needs to deal with.As Meaghan Ramsey says,"We need to judge(批判)people by what they do,not what they look like."
文章讨论了许多年轻人很在意自己外貌的问题,文章的最后指出:"We need to judge people by what they do,not what they look like.".
