Active kids
British children as young as 11 are risking their health by trying to look like skinny supermodels. The Health Education Authority survey revealed that half of 11 and 12 year old girls and one third of boys had anxieties about the shape and weight of their bodies. It blames the influence of fashion models for low self confidence and poor self image in children as they strive to live up to the supermodel ideal.
