being anxious about body/looks
Many teenagers are anxious about their bodies or looks. They wonder if they are too fat. They often compare themselves with other students and sometimes with stars.
Some worry about their skin or the clothes they wear. These worries make them lose confidence. I think they should pay less attention to how other people think about them and try to accept themselves first.
