What could be inferred about the relationship between the media and body image?
Body image can be affected by outside influences.
Media sources, such as television, the Internet, and
magazines, often portray people closer to the commonly
accepted ideal body type than the average body image
in order to sell their products and services.
Consequently, people, especially older children and
young adults, are overly influenced by such depictions
of body image. Family life can also affect children's
perception of their body image. Parents who criticise
how their children look, talk, or act, may often have a
negative effect on the development of self-esteem in
their children. Young people may also be affected by the
comments of classmates and peers when it comes to
their body image. Teasing is often a method used by
young people to convey negative comments and hurtful
words. Common characteristics for being teased
include being too small or too large; too smart or too
dumb; too popular or not very popular; and any of a
number of other personal characterisations. Additionally,
young people often try to pressure their peers to
conform to what is currently popular in clothing styles,
language, and other characteristics – all that can
potentially hurt one's perception of their body image
