Whos Involved
Alarming Facts
Being a teenage girl in the world today is a challenge. Trying to fit the mould and conforming to the pressure of friends, media and celebrities makes it difficult to retain individuality and trust that just being you is good enough. Young girls are not sure when it is the right time to assert themselves, what is the ‘correct’ way to behave or look, how to say ‘no’ and be confident in their choices, when to speak out and how to allow their own personality to shine through.
We have a generation of teenage girls who lack pride and confidence in their own skin. Some females feel they are not able to speak out in front of others and who fear that by doing so they will be bullied or singled out. Young women are too afraid to be labelled as bossy or too confused to be themselves. Low levels of self-esteem, poor body image and confusion surround our younger female population.

As a result of the unprecedented pressure being placed upon teenage girls by society, New Beginnings Personal Training and Wellness Facility, Foxhills Outwood and The St Lawrences Academy has devised a programme called ‘I Am BeYoutiful’. It aims to empower and inspire teenage girls in North Lincolnshire from by providing strong female role models, from different walks of life, who will help to begin to look at who they are, why they should be proud and confident and how to allow their own personality – whoever that may be – to shine.
