Body Talk - reducing body related talk and teasing

Body Talk aims to demonstrate the potential negative effects of beating ourselves and others up about our bodies. TV personalities Melissa Suffield and Radzi Chinyanganya conduct their Bright Body Talk Test at a secondary school in Bristol by banning negative body teasing and encouraging young people to emphasise their positive qualities. They also make us aware of how commonly we engage in body bullying directed at ourselves, and how this might affect our body image. Can banning body talk improve the way that young people feel about themselves? Try it for yourself and make some positive changes today.
