6 out of 10 girls choose NOT to do something because they don't think they look good enough- activites that are fundamental to gheir contribution to society.
When it comes to exams- if a girl doesn't feel she is thin enough she will score a lower grade than her peers that are not concerne with this. This is a world wide problem and IT IS TRUE REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH SHE ACTUALLY WEIGHS.

Start by treating yourself with the respect you deserve so you can serve as a role model for today's youth.
