Alot of teens male and female or worried about if they belong?

Question

Who decided what is over weight? How does media and images play on the confusion for the young adults of our society?

Answer 1

I think it has more to do with school environments. Getting all those kids together and trying to make them conform for the sake of effective education techniques makes kids think they should all be the same - and they tend to single out those that are visually different, often in an effort to mask their own insecurities of being found out to be different in some way themselves.

I understand the need for conformity in schools - it is very hard to process kids through the education system without it - I just don't think it is healthy for people in the long run. I think as homeschooling continues to grow in popularlity, we will see this phenomenon lessening - even as the different just stay home to avoid the distraction and potential violence against them.

Peace!

Answer 2

wait til they get to be adults, and more seriously, could i have ever felt like that, now that i am approaching sixty, what does society want, and what was i willing to give, sometimes it is not worth all the worry and anxiety that is what i would tell young people, and of course the media plays on everyone, and all the members of soc who play on people, this world is not a play ground, and if it is, there are others who want to play more, and do not want some to play at all, do i look to teens for advice, or hope NO, their parents did not offer me any,what could be expected from them , but to worry, why bother,
