"Many people struggle with loving their bodies, but it's especially difficult for girls as they grow up. Girls face a lot of pressure to look a certain way, and the pursuit of a "perfect" body can lead to low self-esteem, feeling ashamed, depression, or even eating disorders. This book will help you understand how internal and external factors such as puberty, media images, social media, and peer pressure contribute to how you sees yourself, and it will give you ways to combat the negative feelings and behaviors that come along with negative body image. This book will also help you understand and value all body types, and learn how to be less judgmental and more compassionate toward every body"-- Provided by publisher.
