Hi, everyone!
ReplyDeleteHere's a basic idea of what I'm looking for when you respond to my discussion questions. Please list the number of the question you're answering, and then give your response, like this:
1. I am 22 years old.
2. I would describe my current body shape and size as very athletic. I enjoy running and playing sports, which helps me to build a lot of muscle. I'm also a lot taller than most of my friends.
The more detail you can give me, the better!
1. 13
ReplyDelete2. i'm slim because i play sports and i'm 5'6.
3. i'm pretty happy w/ my body, i wish that i was taller!
4. i'm influenced about my apperance the most by other girls at school. some of them look absolutly perfect everyday, i wish i could be that put-together!
1. i am 14 years old
ReplyDelete2. i am average weight maybe alittle below but i am fit and in shape.
3. i am happy with my body it wouldnt hurt to gain a few pounds but i am fine where i am, and do not want to change a thing.
4. sometimes i feel uncomfortable with my body because some people say im "too skinny" the doctor tells me i am where i should be so i am fine. i am an average height and most of my friends are about as tall as me.i feel like the media is always aiming toward the "super skinny" look, but as long as you are happy with your body thats all that should matter.

1. I am 14 years old.
ReplyDelete2. I am average weight, about average height, and very athletic and strong.
3. I am happy with my body, although I am a little shorter than I would like. It wouldn't hurt to get skinnier, but I am fine where I am now. Also, not to brag or anything, I am very muscular so I weigh a little more than most of my friends. It is muscle weight and not fat, so that is ok, but I still don't like to say my weight.
4. The main factors that influence the way that I think about my body are probab;y my friends because sometimes they say "I weigh ____" and it is less than me and I feel self-conscious. Also I don't wear "nice" clothes and I kinda fell self-conscious about that sometimes, but not often. Also my clothes are so much more comfortable.

1. I am 13 years old.
ReplyDelete2. I am about 5'6 and phyiscally fit.
3. I am very comfortable with my body and I enjoy it very much.
4. I think that friends for the most part influence your apperance because those are the people that you generally care about how they feel about you. I dont get much insults about they way that I dress because my friends and I dress the same so there is nothing there to insult.
1. I am 14 years old
ReplyDelete2. I'm pretty much average everything, except for I'm a little stronger, faster and overall more athletic than most people I know. sorry if I'm bragging or anything...
3. My friends, I guess, like to compare physical ability, although they don't gossip about appearances
1. I am 14 years old
ReplyDelete2. I feel pretty good about my body, pretty average I guess. I am very active so I don't have that "stick thin" look.
3. Overall, I feel pretty good. There are a lot of times when I wish I was skinnier, or had a better stomach.
4. Mostly my friends, especially because I have a variety of shapes and sizes! The media has some effect too, for instance I will see a Roxy ad and think "wow, i wish I looked like that."
