Most teenagers worry about their body and appearance at some point, and some may try to alter their eating in order to change their weight or shape.
If you are spending a lot of time worrying about how you look or what you are eating, it can become overwhelming and have a big impact on your life. The aim of this book is to help you to understand a bit more about these worries, what you can do about them and, most importantly, how you can develop a healthy relationship with your body and with food.
If these worries take hold, there is a risk of developing an eating disorder or becoming depressed. Eating disorders can have a huge and negative impact on your physical health, your emotional wellbeing, your relationships and social life. They can take control of your mind and body, which makes it difficult to feel motivated to recover, and it can be a long and difficult journey to get back on track, so it's better to tackle these worries early on.
Written by clinicians with many years of experience working in specialist eating disorder services for children and adolescents, this book follows an approach called cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which is a really useful way of helping us to make sense of our experiences and overcome the difficulties that we face. CBT is an evidence-based approach, which means that lots of research has been done to evaluate it and show that it can be helpful.
The book includes help and support on:
- Adolescent development, how we make sense of our experiences, healthy eating and how to look after yourself during the teenage years.
- How you can stop body image and eating difficulties taking hold including ideas for feeling good about yourself, dealing with stress and managing social media. There is a chapter which focuses on issues for boys/young men.
- How to get help from family, friends or professionals if you are struggling. There is also a chapter for parents/carers and families with suggestions on how they can help.
Before the idea of the Anthropocene, there was the angry planet
 How might we understand an earthquake as a complaint, or
erosion as a form of protest—in short, the Earth as an angry
planet? Many novels from the end of the millennium did just that,
centering around an Earth that acts, moves, shapes human affairs,
and creates dramatic, nonanthropogenic change. In Angry Planet,
Anne Stewart uses this literature to develop a theoretical
framework for reading with and through planetary motion. Typified
by authors like Colson Whitehead, Octavia Butler, and Leslie Marmon
Silko, whose work anticipates contemporary critical concepts of
entanglement, withdrawal, delinking, and resurgence, angry planet
fiction coalesced in the 1990s and delineated the contours of a
decolonial ontology. Stewart shows how this fiction brought Black
and Indigenous thought into conversation, offering a fresh account
of globalization in the 1990s from the perspective of the American
Third World, construing it as the era that first made connections
among environmental crises and antiracist and decolonial struggles.
By synthesizing these major intersections of thought production in
the final decades of the twentieth century, Stewart offers a recent
history of dissent to the young movements of the twenty-first
century. As she reveals, this knowledge is crucial to incipient
struggles of our contemporary era, as our political imaginaries
grapple with the major challenges of white nationalism and climate
change denial.
Theories of gender justice in the twenty-first century must engage
with global economic and social processes. Using concepts from
economic analysis associated with global commodity chains and
feminist ethics of care, Ann Stewart considers the way in which
'gender contracts' relating to work and care contribute to gender
inequalities worldwide. She explores how economies in the global
north stimulate desires and create deficits in care and belonging
which are met through transnational movements and traces the way in
which transnational economic processes, discourses of rights and
care create relationships between global south and north. African
women produce fruit and flowers for European consumption; body
workers migrate to meet deficits in 'affect' through provision of
care and sex; British-Asian families seek belonging through
transnational marriages.

Are gender issues marginalized debates over governance, legal
reform and globalization? If so, why? Written by feminist scholars
from both developing and developed countries, this title addresses
a range of issues relating to the relationship between gender,
social justice and law and considers the ways in which women are
excluded from social and economic justice. It also discusses the
interaction between gender, social, cultural and legal forms. The
contributors reflect the range of approaches adopted by academics
and policy makers.
(Princess) Diana Spencer contacted British healer and psychic Anne
Stewart in July 2011 and began a series of channellings that, to
use her own words 'will change the world.' The Diana message is
unsurprisingly one of Love. 'It isn't just about loving each other
and changing the world; it is loving everything to change the
world.' In this book, through nineteen channellings from January
2012 to July 2013, read Diana's very simple, workable and profound
recipe for humanity to 're-claim our birth right and birth place.'
* Heal your mind and body using an ancient healing symbol. *
De-toxify your food and water. * Wake up to the truth of what's
going on in the world. * Let go of a lifetime of negative,
restrictive conditioning. * Improve your breathing; balance your
body's energy system. * Realise the power of prayer, blessing and
gratitude. * Send the 'love vibration' out to everyone and 'take
the planet to another dimension.' Diana chose Anne Stewart because
'I had been with her in other times', for her 'purity of heart' and
because 'people trust her.' This is a book by Diana, not about
Diana. Anne and author husband Jack run Diana Divine Healing
workshops wherever the call takes them. Diana has already promised
a sequel.
