Digital Body Image Quiz
How Concerned Are You About
Your Body Image?
There can be lots of pressure to look and act a
certain way, particularly when you feel that others
are judging you. The photos you share, tag and
comment on send a message about your body
image. What’s your message?
Take the Ditigal Body Image Quiz. Answer the
questions YES or NO. Count up your YES and NO
responses. The more you answer YES, the more
concerned you are about your digital body image.
You may be more susceptible to media’s influence
than you realize!
