SELF-IMAGE the idea, conception, or mental image

one has of oneself There are many teenagers that worry

about their “image” way to much I surveyed 54 teenagers from ages 14-

19, through facebook and through school

AGE

Male (57.4%)Female(42.6%)

Out of the 54 teenagers that I surveyed 57% of the people that took the survey were men

43% were women

DO YOU FEEL THAT PEOPLE ARE WORRYING ABOUT THEIR IMAGE

MORE THAT THEIR SCHOOL WORK?

Yes(66.7%)Sometimes (33.3%)No(1.9%)

CONTINUED From my survey I found that 68% of the

teenagers said that teenagers worry about their image instead of worrying about their school work.

HAVE YOU EVER CHANGED WHO YOU ARE TO FIT INTO A GROUP OR

TO BE FRIENDS WITH OTHERS?

Yes (26.4%)No(73.6%)

Out of the 54 teens surveyed only 26.4% of teenagers have done something in order to fit into a group or to be with friends with others

ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH YOURSELF WHEN YOU ARE AROUND

OTHERS

Yes(59.3%)Sometimes (38.9%)Never(1.9%)

Out of the 54 people surveyed almost of the people surveyed are comfortable with themselves

And about 39% are sometimes comfortable with themselves

HAVE YOU EVER HARMED YOURSELF IN ANY WAY BECAUSE YOU WERE

NOT COMFORTABLE WITH YOURSELF

Yes (14.8%)No (85.2%)

About 85% of the people who were surveyed had said that they never harmed them self because they were not comfortable with themselves

This was such a good result to see

HAVE YOU EVER HAD AN EATING DISORDER?

Yes (15.4%)No (84.6%)

About 84% of the teens who took the survey have never had an eating disorder

In the article I found about 30% of people struggle with an eating disorder

This is good in some way because this shows that people around here do not struggle with eating

RELATED TO TWISTED?

It is related because Tyler’s sister dresses to fit, and so she can be popular.

I chose this topic because Tyler’s sister kept making her image a big deal through out the whole book

CONCLUSION Even though that the result for harming

themselves and having and eating disorder are low they are still scary that there are still some people who do

This shows you that teenagers go through different things
