Before we get into today's podcast, we just wanted to
let you know that today's episode discusses themes that some
listeners may find distressing, including body image and eating disorders.
Listener discretion is advised.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Good morning and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Sunday,
the eighth of June.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I'm Emma Gillespie, I'm Billy Fitzimon's.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
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 and al arming picture, with over
seventy five percent of Aussie teens wishing they were thinner
and ninety percent reporting some level of concern about their
body image. We're here with a special Sunday bonus EEP
(01:12):
to explore the key findings from this report with you today,
including what it tells us about the lives of young
people and their relationship with body dissatisfaction and social media.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
So you've already flagged some quite concerning stats there. But
before we get into these findings, I think it might
be helpful to just explain what we need to know
about this report, specifically, where has the data come from.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, so we're talking about findings from this really comprehensive
body image survey led by national Body Image and Eating
Disorder charity Butterfly Foundation. So it launched this Bodykind Youth
survey back in twenty twenty two, and it was the
first large scale survey of its kind, and now that
it's in its third year, the latest Bodykind Survey includes
(02:00):
data that was collected between September and November twenty twenty
four from across this diverse group of over sixteen hundred
twelve to eighteen year olds. So the average age of
respondents was around fifteen and a half. But it's quite
unique in that picture that it paints directly about this
(02:21):
young cohort of Ossie's right.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
So it's this huge survey that the Butterfly Foundation, who
is kind of the key voice of eating disorders in Australia. Yeah,
it's this research that they've done on teenagers basically and.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Specifically on body image and what they think of themselves
and all these kinds of themes.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I mean, I remember being a teenager obviously, and it
feels like really formative years for kind of this relationship
that you form with your body exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Your body is changing in a way at a pace
that it never has before. Plus, when you factor in
the kind of pressures on teens today, like social media,
there are just so many more concern areas and blind
spots for vulnerabilities, I guess.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And you mentioned this term body dissatisfaction in your intro.
I'm interested about that. Is that like a diagnosis or
is it just this general term that I'm sure a
lot of people can relate to.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, it's actually this really helpful term. I think that
encompasses a lot of the body image conversation. So body
dissatisfaction describes the negative feelings and thoughts a person might
have about their physical appearance. So Butterfly Foundation WARN's body
dissatisfaction is a key risk factor for the development of
(03:34):
many types of eating disorders, along with other conditions such
as anxiety, depression, and harmful behaviors such as substance use
and smoking. Experts say that it stems from this perceived
discrepancy between an individual's ideal state of appearance versus their
perceived physical appearance. So, in other words, when we're talking
(03:55):
about body dissatisfaction, we're talking about a difference in how
you might want to look versus how you think you look. Now,
this study specifically took a zoomed in look at the
prevalence of body dissatisfaction amongst Australian teens, and the survey
says of the total sample, more than seven in ten
wished they were thinner or leaner, two thirds wished they
(04:18):
were more muscular, and around half wished they were taller.
So across the board, all demographics are experiencing body dissatisfaction
when it comes to Australian teenagers, but boys reported the
lowest levels of body dissatisfaction, with thirteen point nine percent
reporting a high level of body dissatisfaction compared to forty
(04:39):
point five percent of females, So around fourteen percent of
boys versus around forty one percent of girls Throughout the report,
I think it's worth flagging that body dissatisfaction and concern
about body image really were overrepresented amongst girls and LGBTQ
plus young people.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Do we know why that is?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
There's no simple answer, to be honest, but I did
find the report's findings on comparison really interesting and I
think it might speak to this gap. Respondents were asked
questions about who they compare their bodies to, and almost
half of young people very frequently compared their body and
appearance to celebrities, social media influences, and their younger selves.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I was going to say, I can imagine that exactly
would be influencers and people online.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, and given the nature kind of celebrity and influencer culture,
I do wonder if young boys are slightly less exposed
to some of that world. Obviously, speaking generally, I think
maybe influencer culture is more prevalent for more girls. That
being said, though, there are still some really concerning trends
that no doubt impact body perceptions amongst male adolescents. So,
(05:53):
for example, more than a third of respondents frequently compared
their body and appearance to professional app and sports people,
as well as models, in advertising.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I mean, it makes sense we kind of now all
grow up on social media. Again, those are such formative years.
Did it say anything else about that relationship between social
media and body dissatisfaction?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think anyone will be too
surprised to hear that social media was identified as a
significant influence and a risk factor for poor body image. Specifically,
fifty seven point two percent of young people said social
media increased dissatisfaction with their bodies, and again this figure
(06:36):
was higher for girls and gender diverse youth than four boys.
Around two thirds of respondents admitted they rarely or never
take breaks from social media for mental health, and nearly
half said they rarely or never post unfiltered images. And
I found that really fascinating because, of course there's the
(06:56):
obvious kind of social media pressures that we think about,
but even the idea of filtering images and image manipulation,
it's such a modern problem that young people face.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's such an interesting finding, I think, especially given the
community concern we hear so often around the relationship between
social media and mental health and body image.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, and just staying with these social media findings from
this report, also, I wanted to tell you. One in
three young people said they rarely see bodies like theirs
represented online. But this is a cohort that does want change.
So older teens support age restrictions on social media. Seventy
(07:39):
percent of all respondents believe social platforms should do more
to promote body positivity.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Interesting that teenagers actually do want those age restrictions on
social media, and interesting that the government has introduced that bill.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
In this study, though, I should mention younger cohorts of
teens were less enthusiastic about aid restrictions. So it's almost
this trend that we've seen with older teenagers who've actually
been through it, knowing the impact it might have had
on their early teen years, they're the ones who more
of them believe that age restrictions should be enforced.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I want to talk about the emotional impacts of body dissatisfaction.
So there are some people I imagine who would experience
body dissatisfaction, but it wouldn't be much more than not
liking how my body looks today, and then they're able
to get on with their day. But then I imagine
for some people it would have a really negative impact
on their emotions. Did the survey go into that.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yes, so we know that, as you mentioned, there is
that spectrum, but negative body image or poor body dissatisfaction
can really impact a young person's well being. So we've
talked through these findings, Billy about what young people wish
they could change, you know, we hear they want to
be thinner, leaner, taller, etc. But there is some really
(08:55):
interesting data on body appreciation and well being which I
think is worth touching on. So two in five respondents
said they rarely or never feel good in their bodies,
and nearly half never or rarely feel comfortable with their body.
And I found this next stat particularly alarming as well.
(09:15):
One in five young ossies said they rarely respect their body.
And interestingly, it's older teens, so seventeen to eighteen year
olds that reported the highest levels of dissatisfaction and concern
about their body.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, I guess that goes to what you were saying
before about they've kind of gone through the whole social
media thing, so it makes sense that they would be
most impacted by it the longer they've been on social
media exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And the broader consequences of this, according to the survey,
are that body dissatisfaction ends up limiting how young people
participate in the world around them in sport and social activities.
It impacts their confidence, their willingness to speak up or
stand up for themselves, for example, and over twenty five
percent say it very frequently affects focus in school. Twenty
(10:00):
percent say it even impacts attendance, which as we have
more and more conversations about things like school refusal, that's
an interesting finding as well.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I think that point about how it impacts how you
show up at school is really interesting as well.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I think a lot of educators, or parents or schools
might be surprised to know that nearly eighty percent of
young Australians say they have experienced appearance related teasing, mostly
at school. But I do think it's also important to
recognize there are some more positive signs that have come
out of the latest Bodykind Youth Survey. And while clearly
(10:36):
you know there is plenty of work to do about
how young people feel about their own appearance, there was
a series of questions included in the survey about how
they think about the appearance of others, and those findings
were much more hopeful. So three and four respondents value
people for their personality over appearance. A similar rate of
(10:57):
respondents also said they surround themselves with people who like
them for who they are, not how they look, and
nearly half reported frequently moving their bodies in a way
that makes them feel good. Eight in ten young people
also said they often always avoid saying unkind things about
other people's bodies or appearance. So there's kind of this disconnect,
(11:19):
I suppose, in how young people see each other versus
how they see themselves.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
That's so interesting though, that you have eight in ten
young people saying that they actively avoid saying unkind things
about people's appearance. But then you also have eight in
ten young Australians saying that they have experienced appearance related teasing.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, I think that could speak to potentially a disconnect
in what young people perceive to be respectful conversations about
body image versus comments that they might not even understand
or realize could be hurtful.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And there's so much to think about and unpack in
each of these findings. But what are the next steps
now and what are the goals of a survey like this,
like how can it actually action change when it comes
to young people.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
It's a really good question, and you know, Butterfly has
acknowledged that these findings do suggest there are significant numbers
of young people affected by body dissatisfaction today and that
it continues to impact the way they're engaging in everyday life.
But Butterfly also noted young people want more to be
done to help them develop a positive body image through
(12:24):
programs at primary and secondary schools, and they want schools
to do more with these findings to stop bullying and
teasing from happening. And ultimately believe these reports are an
opportunity for us to kind of reflect on the diverse
experiences of young people living in Australia. As I mentioned,
there are so many new and complex pressures on young
(12:47):
people in twenty twenty five, and organizations like Butterfly use
this data to inform how they develop digital resources and
support for young people and parents. So that includes prevention
programs and education and mental health resources. So this data
will kind of help inform all of those different strategies
(13:09):
and approaches to ultimately provide better support systems for young people.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Such an important topic and one that hopefully, if things
do change, will really impact the lives of hundreds of
thousands of young people, if not millions. Thank you so
much for taking us through this report. And if you're
listening and want to take a closer look at the
findings that you've heard about today, we will put a
