20% Round 2

For my next 20% Project, I am choosing the topic Body Image. Whether you want to admit it or not, every single person has at least one insecurity floating around in their head every day. I do not know exactly what I want to discover and do in this project, but I know I want it to follow with Body Image. Many teenage girls (and boys) I know, including me, face pressures from the media, celebrities, etc, and I want to see how the statistics have changed over the past few years. I also want to look into eating disorders and what factors influence them. By the end of my project I want to understand more about eating disorders, obesity and insecurity. I also want to help people like me who have insecurities, and try to put an end to the stereotypical body image that our society has put into our heads.

Some problems that might occur are my emotions getting in the way, and not being able to find usable information. I could go to many people for help like students my age, blog posters (about body image), and eating disorder survivors.
