‘I never felt like I was good enough’: Panel of young people open up about poor body image as part of government inquiry


Scrolling through images on social media platforms had a really detrimental effect on the way I saw my body. I started to scrutinise the way I looked and, unfortunately, I reached a critical crisis and developed body dysmorphia.” These are the words of Danny Bowman, a 25-year-old man who, earlier today, gave evidence in a government inquiry into negative body image.

Danny was joined by three other young panellists – Tatyana, Kate and Cassiane – who each opened up about their personal experiences to a group of MPs leading an official investigation into what can be done to prevent young people feeling negatively about the way they look.
