THE TOP CONCERNS OF FEMALE TEENS
Bright Girl Health school presentations address some of the top concerns of female teens as reported by the Mission Australia Youth Survey Report, such as body image, coping with stress, and their physical/mental health.
Major areas with which female teens are extremely or very concerned
Coping with stress
58.2%
Body image
40.9%
“More could be done to instill a positive body image for all young people” -Mission Australia Youth Survey Report
Coping with stress is the number 1 issue of personal concern for teenage girls according to the Mission Australia Youth Survey Report 2017.
Prolonged stress can severely negatively impact the health of the menstrual cycle and hormone balance in women.
Bright Girl Health presentations equip students with practical, simple and effective strategies to cope with the stress they experience, which can be disruptive to their mental health, studies, relationships and especially disruptive to their hormones and menstrual health.
Body image is one of the top 3 issues of personal concern to teen girls. Body image dissatisfaction and decreased self concept are prevalent in teenage years, and are linked with greater psychological distress. This is especially true as girls’ bodies begin to change at puberty and with the onset of the menstrual cycle.
But changes at the onset of a period do not have to be feared or despised. When it is understood, the menstrual cycle can be a girl’s best advantage for greater overall health and well-being.
