I think my question will be: How does body image effect a young teenage male?
is it a good qualitative research question?

I think it's a good start...
Try to be more specific---what exactly do you want to find out about? Eating habits? Self-esteem? Exercise habits? etc..
Then just incorporate that into your question.

Qualitative research is a research for understanding and the reasons of human behavior. Simply put, Qualitative research investigates the Why's and How's of human behavior. Your research question is a qualitative meaning that you will want to know if body image DOES actually effect a young male teenager in any way... Why it effects him and How !! It's a simpler form of research cause your sample size will be smaller, concentrated and more specific (only male teenagers). You will find a difference of course but it is in the WHY & HOW that appearance will effect the behavior (privatly, publicly, socially, etc), thoughts, feelings, etc.

As a start, but where do you want to go with the research? Body image is a big subject in the psychology world.
ie: Does past experiences affect the future of a young male, and how? That is just one question where it could lead.

The correct verb for your question would be "affect" not "effect" which as a verb means "to bring about."
