Body image issues and eating disorders are interrelated psychological concerns that have gained significant attention in the field of school psychology. Body image refers to how an individual perceives, thinks, and feels about their body, including its size, shape, and overall appearance. This perception can be positive or negative, but in many cases, children and adolescents develop distorted or unhealthy views about their physical appearance, leading to a range of emotional, behavioral, and physiological consequences. Eating disorders, on the other hand, are serious mental health conditions characterized by abnormal eating habits, often arising as a result of body dissatisfaction and societal pressures regarding appearance. In the school context, both body image issues and eating disorders are particularly important because they affect students during critical developmental stages, influencing their academic performance, social interactions, and long-term mental and physical health. The adolescent stage is a crucial period when young people experience rapid physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. Puberty brings changes in body shape, weight, and appearance, which can create heightened self-consciousness. At the same time, societal standards, peer influences, and media portrayals of the “ideal body” exert pressure on students to conform to unrealistic beauty norms. For girls, thinness is often portrayed as the desired standard, while boys may be pressured to develop muscularity. These external standards can generate feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth among students, which manifest as body dissatisfaction. A student who feels unhappy with their body may engage in unhealthy behaviors such as excessive dieting, over-exercising, or adopting disordered eating patterns. Over time, such behaviors can progress into clinical eating disorders like anorexia
