Sadly, I don't think the parents who need to hear this will listen.

I am sorry to say this but this message of "5 factors" is truly or nearly useless or worthless.

Why not tell the person to wear some better clothing? as that would be some realistic advice for body image.

Now I do not mean this as a criticism of Ms Julie Hanks LCSW, but the University research needed to have dug deeper into this message, or else into their conclusions.

1) A high level of family support - as like how is a person to orchestrate that?

2) And low level pressure from your family - as like how is a person to orchestrate that?

3) Have a positive body image - as that is putting the horse before the cart, because if one has the positive image then they already have the positive image.

4) Incomprehensible as to whatever the 4th factor really is.

5) Stress management to handle the disappointment - as like handling the disappointment of a poor body image!!!

So here ends my critique of this.

Unfortunately my body was pretty health yet a little big my family was very disfunctional. I didn't have any of these things going for me. My mother had a beautiful body yet had dysmofa, I have never had family support, my life has been filled with stress. It would have been nice to have any of this in place during essential. Some things just can't be done over.

Thank you for this interesting post =) Sadly almost all of these factors are about havin the good, supportive type of families... which is uncontrollable. Many dont even have families!

I am someone who grew up bein told that I dont look good enough. So its not this easy to just let it go if its all the feedback I got about my look!
