Group Info

Peer pressure is an issue which everyone faces, and often, it is an indicator of other issues, such as low self-esteem and/or poor body image. These can lead onto further issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders (such as anorexia or bulimia) and drug or substance abuse etc.

Our group aims to reduce negative peer pressure and its effects by promoting the issue of peer pressure, and the further detrimental effects it can have, through this group. We encourage discussion and art on the issues, and members are encouraged to not only think about peer pressure, but the issues relating to it. Furthermore, we encourage members to think about what actions they can take to make a difference.

Today, I'd like us to have a discussion on body image, and in particular, our own body image.

So, what exactly is body image?

(From our blog post)

Body image is the way that a person sees themselves. It describes how that person sees their body, and what they think and feel about it, however it is important to note that in many cases, people have a distorted view of their body image. In fact, an estimated two out of five women and one in three men are unhappy with the way they look.


I want you all to really look deep and think about how you view your own body. Not what you tell other people, or how other people view you, but how you view yourself.

If you feel comfortable, you can let us know, otherwise, please do comment (etc) on your thoughts and feelings on this issue.

Hi everyone!

Following the success of our previous "mini-project" "Show Someone You Love Them", our team has decided to start another mini-project themed "I am grateful for..."!

As with last time, we'd like you to submit your artworks with this theme; let us know what you are grateful for in your life, whether it be a person, a special object, an activity that you love and anything else! This time, we're not going to limit you to just photography; feel free to submit your drawings or literature pieces too (or any other medium)! :)

Don't forget, this isn't a contest - it's just a little project before we head off to America :dummy: So it'd be fantastic if you participate!

:heart:

PS. The folder to submit to is :pointr: here :pointl:

You're welcome. :nod: I figure just about anyone can use encouragement sometimes.

If you can guess where I got a quote for a title from, you can pick what I next write about. [link]
