Being You: The Body Image Book For Boys

From early childhood boys often feel pressured to be athletic and muscular. But what impact does this have on physical and mental well-being through their teens and beyond? Being You tackles this question by exploring the research evidence to see what exactly these images do to young boys. Covering a whole range of topics from puberty and self-care to exercise and diet, this book gives boys the tools needed to deal with societally imposed body ideals. Packed with facts, stories from other boys, and busting of myths, this book is an important read for boys aged 12+.
