Items related to Body Image and Appearance: The Ultimate Teen Guide...
Body image is a pervasive preoccupation for almost all teens. Nearly every teen has dealt with issues of height, weight, skin, and other features. And many teens have undertaken diets, engaged in body building programs, or resorted to surgery to alter their appearances. In Body Image and Appearance: The Ultimate Teen Guide, author Kathlyn Gay addresses all of these concerns to provide teens with a healthy way to think about themselves.
This book tackles such topics as the cultural standards of what a "perfect" body should look like, methods for changing appearances, and matters related to height, such as dwarfism and height discrimination. Throughout the book, Gay offers advice on how teens can learn to be comfortable with their bodies and move beyond unhealthy preoccupations with size and appearance.

About the Author:
Kathlyn Gay is a full-time freelance writer and has authored more than 120 books and articles. She is the author of several titles in the "It Happened to Me" series for Scarecrow, including Cultural Diversity (2003), Volunteering (2004) Religion and Spirituality in America (2006), and The Military and Teens (2008).
From Booklist:
From asthma to volunteering, the topics covered in the long-standing It Happened to Me series address a wide spectrum of adolescent concerns. These entries follow the series’ standard format, which includes a stark, lackluster layout that is further diminished by a weak selection of grainy, poorly reproduced black-and-white photos. The serviceable text is the selling point here, and each title’s straightforward language is personalized with numerous heartfelt quotes from teens. Body Image and Appearance moves beyond expected sections on eating disorders and Barbie’s cultural impact to examine how muscularity, height, dwarfism, and disfigurement affect self-image. Examples of historical practices, from skull modification to foot binding, will particularly grab teens’ attention, while eye-opening statistics confirm what teens know about the impact of parents, peers, and cultural ideals of beauty on individual self-esteem. With extensive chapter notes and resource lists, these titles offer reliable starting places for personal or academic research. Grades 8-12. --Gillian Engberg
