Finding body confidence is a constant process, and one that\ncan be especially difficult for young women growing up in today\u2019s culture. A\n14-year-old New Yorker is trying to change that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lucia may have just graduated from 8th<\/sup> grade, but her research paper about body image and her efforts to make a positive impact on her classmates are already helping to change how young people feel about themselves. Inspired by her mom and Aerie Senior Vice President of Design, Andrea, Lucia learned about Aerie and our partnership with NEDA, a non-profit that supports those affected by eating disorders. She took that knowledge and went on to write a detailed research paper on the topic, host a Flywheel spinning class to benefit NEDA and bring an expert in the field from NEDA in to her school to present to her entire 8th<\/sup> grade class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Check out our interview with Lucia and read her paper, \u201cLook At that Beauty in the Mirror! How Body Image Affects Young People Today.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read Lucia’s paper<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why did you write\nthis paper?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally it was for school, but as I went on, it became\nmore of a passion. I know a lot of people, especially in my grade, have a lot\nof problems with their body image. Nowadays, it\u2019s not as much people bullying each\nother as people bullying themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you want to\nbring a NEDA presenter to your school? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend Abby and I decided it would be a good idea to have\nsomeone come talk to a few classes. We didn\u2019t want people to come only if they\nwanted to\u2014that\u2019s why we told the teachers about the presentation, not the\nstudents. We thought that people may be hiding inside that they\u2019re negative\nabout themselves, so we wanted to make sure we could reach everyone who may be\nstruggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your advice\nto other girls about body positivity and what you\u2019ve learned from this\nexperience?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know everyone says this, but it\u2019s to be yourself. As soon\nas you become comfortable in your own skin, you\u2019re not going to look at other\npeople or look up to other people for what you want to look like or who you\nwant to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are some things\nyou tell yourself to make yourself feel better?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I acknowledge my flaws, but I mostly try to look at what\u2019s\ngood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes you\n#AerieREAL?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever one of my friends is feeling negative about\nthemselves, I always try to encourage them not to do that. I always tell them\nthey\u2019re beautiful in their own way, and it doesn\u2019t matter what other people\nthink of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is your biggest\ninspiration?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom. She was the one who gave me the idea to choose this\ntopic to work with this year. She\u2019s always pushing me to be better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
