represents a different personality. Why
11
just be yourself?" Author Margaret Atwood
12. "One very important aspect of motivation is
the willingness to stop and to look at things
that no one else has bothered to look at. This
simple process of focusing on things that are
normally taken for granted is a powerful
source of creativity."
Creator of Six Thinking Hats, Edward de Bono
14. In the US it is estimated that 10% of adolescent girls have a
eating disorder. In order to combat the problem, a school
curriculum is being developed for a community outside Los
Angeles, in which girls attend special classes and read books
and articles which address the influence of media on body
image/eating disorders.

Small Team Activity
28. Team 1
28
• Stress and Depression are related to smoking in girls. Girls
typically begin to smoke because of feelings of maturity,
independence, sociability.
29. • Young girls get targeted by bullies for being different or
because they don't fight back. Often, girls who are bullied
don't know how to stop the bullying, so they go along with
it.

Team 2
30. Team 3
30
• Peer pressure for girls to fit in is so strong, they can lose
touch with their innate sense of self-worth. Girls are often
judged by other girls on their looks, clothing, friends and
socioeconomic status.
31. Team4
31
• Children watch on average 937 hours of television each
year; since 1970, obesity rates have more than quadrupled
in girls ages 6 to 11. Billions are spent annually on diseases
related to physical inactivity.
32. Team 5
32
• A survey recently asked 12- and 13-year-old girls, "Have
you had a bad experience online that made you nervous
about going to school the next day?"
More than one in four 12- and 13-year-old girls said yes -
the highest rate of any other group. Another survey found
that when girls ages 8-12 used online media heavily, they
had fewer good feelings about their friendships
