Because like alot of topics taught to anyone, there's always an example. Sometimes that example is bang on exactly how somthing happens, like saying "Our eyes are used to see." But even if they are, it dosent always garentee they work that way, some people can be partly blind or have colour blindness so there is no "one way" to describe seeing. This ties back to body image. When I would think of the term "body image" I imagine teenage girls wishing they were skinnier and yes that is absolutely an example but usually our examples are based on our own experien… Read moreces or what we've consumed. There is alot of talk online and in movies about that exact sinario of a young girl wishing she was skinny. Unfortunately that's never always the case. Some girls can wish they weren't so skinny, or that they could grown longer hair, or that their feet were smaller. It's the exact same for boys. They can wish they were taller or stronger and such, but it's much less talked about especially in media. So alot of young boys would assume they can't feel that way or that it's "not manly" to feel like that. They can then grow insecure when it comes to how they feel about their own masculinity and either bottle it up and pretend or to lash out in unhealthy ways. A way to stop this is to teach young boys that they can grown insecure aswell and that it's nothing to be worried about and that they arnt alone in their struggle.
