Abstract:
There are a significant amount of girls and women that face body image and self-esteem issues on a daily basis in the United States. "Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Please Show MY Body Without the Flaws," is a website that was created to help girls and women understand the issues involved with this topic. I present information and facts to show the severity of these concerns. I present the problem and offer suggestions on ways to overcome the problems so many women face. I hope that when viewing my website, women understand that this is a problem that they can overcome. I also presented the information to a group of girls at the high school level, as well as to a group of girls and women ranging in age from seven to mothers of all ages. Overall, I developed a website and did presentations, including activities and discussions, for girls and women to help empower them.
