" Maintaining a healthy and positive body image is something most teen girls struggle to do. Seventeen&amp;#039;s Body Peace Project is a movement aimed to remind each of us that someone who is truly beautiful is beautiful inside and out! Girl Scouts of the USA also knows that girls deserve to feel confident in their own skin! To spread the message, they&amp;#039;re launching a new initiative, The Changing Face of Fashion, to specifically address the issue of the image of girls in the media and celebrate self-esteem and beauty of every type! To help promote The Changing Face of Fashion, Girl Scouts of the USA has teamed up with the Dove Self-Esteem Fund, and turned to Wilhelmina Curve for campaign models. The models will be featured in ads and videos, geared toward helping girls explore their self-esteem and gain personal empowerment! Although you may deny the influence of the media on how you view your bodies, The Girl Scout Research Institute, through their nationwide Beauty Redefined: Girls and Body Image Survey (2010), discovered that 3 out of 4 girls ages 13 to 17 report fashion as &amp;quot;really important&amp;quot; to them. Thus, The Changing Face of Fashion campaign is a vital one, and its programs and initiatives are important. Girl Scouts of the USA has even been instrumental in United States policy by introducing The Healthy Media for Youth Act to the United States Congress which promotes healthy images of women in the media! It&amp;#039;s about time you realize that your body is beautiful and that you are worth it! The media does not always portray real girls, but you are one, and you&amp;#039;re perfect! Agree that everyone should be proud of the body they have? Make peace with your body and sign the Seventeen Body Peace Treaty! Does what you see on TV and in magazines influence the way you feel about yourself? Who are some positive role models that you look up to? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
