Most females and an increasing number of males dislike their bodies. Most
have one or more body parts from thighs to eyes, or ears to rears they would
like to change.
Mass media teach that looking good and being happy go together. This video
counters by showing viewers how to "accept your individual skeleton,"
focus on the positive, and respect your body. Meet:
- Jen, whose mother entered her in her first beauty pageant when she was
five.
- Cathy, who thinks she's too fat and dreams of being model slim.
- Shelly, who feels invisible but realizes "as long as I stay fat, I
can use that as an excuse for not dating."
- Jim, Brad's little brother, who feels like a "geek."
