Somebody who has an excellent answer to that question is Dr. Gail McVey. You may have already heard from her. She specializes in the prevention of eating disorders and is trying to change that environment in the school, but there are huge barriers. We need to change the curriculum so that the teachers aren't teaching about eating disorders by describing anorexia nervosa, which then causes girls to go, “Oh, that's a good idea”, which in fact the research shows that it does. We need to teach media literacy. We need to teach about self-esteem and self-care. We need to empower our girls. We need to change the attitudes of the males as well, the teenage boys, and maybe get them together and have them hear from each other. We need more research into all of that and into what is effective and what isn't, the type of research that Dr. Gail McVey specializes in. She's the only one in the entire country who's doing that.
