During adolescence this personal practice is accompanied by feelings of fear and guilt, can cause much distress. Compulsive practice is a sign you need help, the emotional support and understanding from parents and teachers. BODY IMAGE AND SELF-ESTEEM
Body image is related to self-esteem, which is the ability to trust and respect for yourself. Self-esteem begins to build from the moment of birth, or before, and that expectations and feelings of parents toward the child or newborn child safety produced loved one (a) or rejection (a).
During puberty and adolescence, self-esteem is weakened as the body changes and, therefore, adolescents tend to question their body image, allowing them to construct their identities.
In early adolescence, there is common concern for the physical changes and uncertainty about one's own physical appearance. Thus, men may be concerned about penis size, the presence of beauty in the chest and pubis, the appearance of the mustache, the complexion of the chest, voice change and the first ejaculation, while women may embarrassed by the size of the breasts or worrying about the size of the legs, the accumulation of fat in the body and early or late onset of menstruation. As the teen
accustomed to the changes, starts concern for their appearance, the desire to have a more attractive body and a fascination with fashion. At the end of adolescence should be an acceptance the body and therefore a satisfactory body image and a good self-esteem. Adequate self
allows teens to grow, to feel proud of themselves, recognize their strengths and weaknesses and to internalize a positive body image and without guilt.
Teenagers need adult support to understand the physical and emotional changes that occur during this stage of life, and value their achievements in order to strengthen his own position and identity.
In a society like ours, we realize that adolescents have different perceptions of their body from their sex. For example, studies by Mexfam found that adolescents restructure su imagen corporal a partir de las actitudes y conductas que, en su opinión, tienen los hombres hacia el cuerpo de ellas. En ese mismo estudio, se encontró que estas adolescentes reconocen que a los hombres les llaman la atención las caderas y el busto de las mujeres, porque estas partes les permiten tener fantasías de tipo sexual. También se reporta que piensan que la diferencia entre hombres y mujeres es que ellos se fijan más en el físico de una mujer por intereses sexuales, en tanto que ellas le dan prioridad a los sentimientos y mantienen un segundo lugar los aspectos físicos.
Las mujeres suelen ocultar las partes de su cuerpo que no les gustan usando ropa holgada o maquillaje. Por ello tratan de cuidar el aspecto de su body best, while the foster parents care for her virginity, getting home early, be careful in choosing friends, etc..
For men, the body is less important, but consider that they like to look good, center itself in verbal skills or sports. Are considered more open-minded and free to express themselves sexually in their group.
In other studies, Rodriguez et al. (1995) commented that young people are in the sport, played festivals and free forms of family and school, while girls, when they can not "escape" to parties, and often have rules prohibition against " do aerobics, soap operas and romantic look after release of school and household chores.
Thus, adolescents learn that men should be hardworking, able to address business risks and conquerors, and that women should be self-disciplined, thin and loving, but also fun loving and sensual.
