Today there are a growing number of males who are increasingly concerned about their appearance. Young boys today, like young girls, do harbor self consciousness about their bodies, to an extent, and it is an increasing problem. In fact, The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness said, “ A 2007 study by Harvard Medical School found that 25% (not the traditionally stated 10-15%) of study participants with anorexia and bulimia were male.” With this information provided, it is clear to see that the original numbers have risen in the years since the original findings.

Young boys today, like young girls, do harbor self- consciousness about their body, to an extent, and it is an increasing problem. In fact according to JAMA Pediatrics, “Boys concerned about weight were more likely to be depressed, and more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors such as binge drinking and drug use” (Cruz 2014). This is an increasing problem because the use of alcohol and drugs is not only dangerous to anyone, but even worse for young boys that still have growing brains. But overall, I think that when they emerge from school in the real world is when the pressure is at its greatest.
