[Audio] Teenage obesity is treated differently around the world. This is due to cultural, societal and even religious differences. Having different diets in their religion and culture. Take, for example, the difference of obesity rates between the United States and Japan. Incredibly, 32% of the USA population are or have been diagnosed with obesity, which compares to Japans jaw dropping 3.6%. This difference is due to the foods found in each country's diets. The US consumes a high number of processed foods, while Japan consumes more natural, non-processed foods.

[Audio] For years, people have been trying to prevent teenage obesity. It is a medical fact that young people who get at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily are more fit than those who do not. Schools, governments and families are now all encouraging young people to adapt to some sort of exercise. The amount of screen time teenagers have is also a key factor contributing to laziness and inactivity. Screen time wastes time and drains the ambition of becoming more physically fit.

Scene 8

[Audio] With the rise of social media, it has never been easier to state ones opinion and share it across the world. This freedom of speech, however, has its downsides. Reading negative comments on social media about ones appearance can have dramatic effects on body image and leave one feeling anxious, embarrassed or self-conscious. The so-called body standard makes for unrealistic and excessive pressure on those who do not fit the standard. This insecurity of personal body image has led to online body shaming. Subsequently obese adults and obese teenagers are confronted and overwhelmed by cyber bullying.
