Summer on Radio 1

[Jono]

25,000 people took the survey, and here's some of the findings.

More than half of females said they'd consider plastic surgery and a third of size 12s think they're overweight or fat. Almost half of girls say they've skipped a meal to try to lose a few pounds. More than 50% of younger teenage girls reckon their body image stops them getting a boyfriend.

For blokes, it was all about getting bigger. Taking protein supplements to build muscle seems to be on the rise. Fewer than one in 10 men are on a diet at the moment.

What do you think? Are you in agreement with the findings?

More findings here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/news/newsbeat/070220_body_image.shtml

[Grace]

I'd say I'm pretty much in agreement with the stuff girl's have said.

consider plastic surgery: nope

size 12s think they're overweight or fat: well im not 12, so nope

skipped a meal to try to lose a few pounds: nope. i like my food too much

body image stops them getting a boyfriend: nope

although interesting. so much pressure to look pretty/slim/the "normal" nowadays!

[Grace]

I was listening to newsbeat earlier whilst eating, when they were talking about men taking steriods my mum looked at me as if to say "Yeah Grace, steriods are bad!" I was just like "ermm mum I'm not a man on steriods, stop staring at me."

ETA: Oh great, just had a friend who is like size eight tell me she's on a diet and does half an hour on the excercise bike everyday.

[Ema]

Im a 10-12 and I dont think im overweight, alot of girls I know are literally starving themselves to fit into their prom dresses and for the holidays and its really worrying. I dont skip meals cos I like my food too much aswell. And I wouldnt starve myself for a guy either.

I also wouldnt consider Plastic surgery because I accept that im as I am etc

[Grace]

Wish I could say the same Ema..

[Kelly]

God I wish I was a size 12. Stupid skinny people. No offence intended, I just need to lose weight.

[Riz]

Yeah, their survey was pretty spot on i reckon. I also know girls who are size 10's and sometimes size 8's who think theyre overweight. Theres a girl in school also who is verging on anorexia, and i can honestly say ive never seen her eat lunch.

Whilst of course the boys are always talking about going to the gym and comparing 6 packs of course.

[phoenix]

I voted in that survey.

Results are quite interesting.

I took that survey because well... I don't know why.

I'm a size 12 bottoms & size 10 tops, & as for the whole skipping meals thing, I'm ashamed to say I do. I only eat when I'm at home (so I have either 1 or 1 1/2 meals a day) & yeah, yeah I know that size 12 isn't all that bad & it's only because I've matured very early but try telling that to the people who call me fat everyday. They'll never get it.

My body image doesn't stop me getting a boyfriend though, as I'm all of a sudden not interested in the whole sudden hype to get a boyfriend or "OMG IM SINGLE ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!!". I'm only 14, I think I need more friends right now *shrug*

skipping meals makes you put ON weight.

body is being starved, so stores more fat.

you're 14, everyone puts on weight then, and you are by no means fat whatsoever! be proud of urself

and the people who call you fat are just pathetic. they need to get sth better to do and stop being so insecure themselves.

I'm a size 12.

I'm not over weight at all.

I wouldnt have plastic surgery.

And it doesn't affect my self confidence.
