Schoolgirls as young as 12 are unhappy with their weight and some are skipping meals in an effort to be skinnier, a study has found.
Half of girls in year eight ? who are aged 12 and 13 ? said they wanted to be thinner.
And 58 per cent of girls in year ten, aged 14 or 15, said they wanted to lose weight, according to the study by the Schools Health Education Unit.
During the research, 31,354 boys and girls aged ten to 15 were questioned about their eating habits and body image.
