Summary
<p>A large-scale study has found that over half of young Australians are dissatisfied with their bodies. Butterfly Foundation’s latest BodyKind Youth survey paints an alarming picture, with over 75% of Aussie teens wishing they were thinner, and 90% reporting some level of concern about their body image. In today's episode, we'll explore the key findings from this report, including what it tells us about the lives of young people and their relationship with body dissatisfaction and social media. <br /><br />For crisis support, call Butterfly's<strong> national helpline on 1800 33 4673</strong> (7 days a week, 8am-midnight AEST) or <a href="https://butterfly.org.au/get-support/helpline/">chat online</a> to a counsellor.
