Teenagers fear that the angle that theyve gained during puberty and teenage years is permanent. They panic and desperately try to lose it. Once they start losing clog, people might compliment them, which makes them feel good. They may start to believe that losing weight will make them happier, but no matter how much weight is lost, it is never enough, and they are never happy.Teenagers spend a dole out of time worrying about what others think and they desperately try to conform to societys unattainable ideal body image. They are lead to believe that if they are thin, they will be accepted. Many of them are constantly exposed to images of thin models appeari ng on television and in magazines.
