  It suggests that those outlets still need a makeover of their own.

  这显示出这些媒体渠道都应该对自己的形象来个改造。

  【音频文本】

  Last year a British parliamentary group recommended that all school children should have lessons to help boost their confidence. NH is a teacher and body image specialist “it’s an issue now more and more for boys as well as girls, it’s not just the teenage girl problem anymore, it’s boys too. And when I say teenage, I think we often think of body image as a teenage worry but we are finding that really young children, children aged six, seven are wanting to be skinny and picking up that thin idea and are already being very critical about how they look.”

  Some designers in television programs have already started to address the issue by using normal-sized models into urging us to love ourselves. But with the big majority of the teachers surveyed blaming TV, magazines, music videos, adverts and social media, it suggests that those outlets still need a makeover of their own.
