Body Confidence

Okay I admit this is a bit of a copy-cat post because Georgie from So Full of Twilight Dreams That Glitter posted about this yesterday. However I strongly support this cause and want to do my bit in spreading the word further!

Recently the lovely and charismatic Gok Wan from Channel 4's How to Look Good Naked and Shona Collins, winner of Miss Naked Beauty 2008, have set up a petition to Number 10 to get Body Confidence on the National Curriculum to help teenage girls gain and maintain confident and positive thinking when it comes to their bodies and self esteem.

I'm sure that some, if not all of you girls out there remember that your teenage years are pretty tough as you're at your most vulnerable, impressionable and therefore likely to develop bad habits when it comes to your attitude towards your own bodies. Or you may be a teenage girl and would really like help in addressing this.

I think that it's a great petition because if it can help teenagers develop a positive sense of self earlier on, those good mental habits will stay with them for life!

I'd really appreciate it if you could help and sign the petition online today. It's currently the 4th biggest petition on the Number 10 website, but if we can get it to be number 1 then all the better! It only takes a few seconds and your signature will make all the difference!

Please pass this onto friends, family and colleagues - let's get the word out there : )
