When a young lady looks at her body, what she see’s is important to her. A person with a positive body image will see herself as she truly is. She will feel comfortable and confident in her body shape and size. She will conduct herself as being satisfied and accepting of her body. On the other hand there are some who have a negative perspective of their body image. Body image concerns frequently begins at a young age and endure throughout life. When a young girl is about 6, she starts to express concerns about her weight and shape and 40-60% of elementary school girls (ages 6-12) are concerned about becoming too fat (NEDA, n.d.).

Problem statement
History shows that eating disorders are associated with straight, Caucasian females, but eating disorders affect people who are of different ethnic backgrounds, races. There is not a single factor that leads to eating disorders but can develop from a combination of behaviors that stem from biological, emotional, interpersonal, social and psychological factors (NEDA, n.d.).
There are many misconceptions about who eating disorders affect which would cause fewer diagnoses and treatment.
Eating disorders does not discriminate and is taking the lives of many females of different backgrounds.
There is a negative correlation between poor body image perception and eating disorders. Reducing negative risk factors such as body shaming, depression and self-esteem can help prevent eating disorders.

Participants
The participants will consist of 20 females between the ages of 13-14. They will be randomly selected from a middle school of 7th and 8th graders. The participants will not use their names. They will be assigned numbers for confidentiality purposes.
Design
This study will use a correlational research design. This design will show the relationship between the two variables, poor body image and eating disorders.
Method
Since the females will be minors, their parent/guardian will fill out an Informed Consent Form.
A Debriefing Form will be given after the study.
During this research, females will be asked to complete a survey with questions about their eating habits, exercise habits and daily thoughts about herself. The questionnaire will measure her attitude towards her body image.

I predict that this study will find that when a female has a poor body image perspective, it is linked to eating disorders
When a female has a positive body image, she will see herself differently, therefore, eating healthy.

A significant relationship between the two variables which was consistent with previous studies.
