BBC One - #welshteens: My Perfect Body

How illnesses like anorexia and body dysmorphia are on the rise among Welsh teenagers.

How illnesses like anorexia and body dysmorphia are on the rise among Welsh teenagers, the first generation to be bombarded daily by digital images of 'perfect' bodies.

Telling stories that matter - Body Matters, a series of programmes on BBC One Wales looking at our relationships with our bodies.

Welsh teenagers are among the first generation to be bombarded daily by digital images of 'perfect' bodies and lifestyles on social media. Illnesses like anorexia and body dysmorphia are on the rise, and more Welsh teenagers than ever before need support for mental health problems. Body image has never been more important and more misunderstood. Teenagers have instant access to a global selection of role models, but it's impossible to compete with the 'perfect' bodies and 'glamorous' lives on show.
