Background

Body image involves our perception, imagination, emotions, and physical sensations of and about our bodies. It s not static- but ever changing; sensitive to changes in mood, environment, and physical experience. It is not based on fact. It is psychological in nature, and much more influenced by self-esteem than by actual physical attractiveness as judged by others. It is not inborn, but learned. This learning occurs in the family and among peers, but these only reinforce what is learned and expected culturally.The Body Image Forum simply asks “when you look in the mirror, what do you see?” Do you embrace your physical appearance, or yearn for change? Do you accept your physical differences or take extreme measures in an attempt to change your body? How far are you willing to go to feel better about yourself? Are you happy? Be honest. Be open. Express yourself without fear of judgment. Through your words and shared thoughts, this forum will take an unflinching look at how our students perceive their bodies, allow individuals an opportunity to reveal their perceptions of their own self-image and explain how far some are willing to go to fit in.

20, F

feI am a person who does not know about fashion. My weight is normal but not that slim. As an Asian girl, I have normal height. I do not like to shopping, so I do not have luxurious things such as branded or beautiful things. All of my clothes that I’m wearing are chosen by my friends. I do not know how to dress up and make up myself. In conclusion, I think my personal body image is not good as other girls. I wish to have a good body image, so that I can make more friends. Most of the people usually only make friends with those pretty girls or handsome boys. So, I’m trying to blend into the fashion.
