ABSTRACT: A prolonged distortion of eating or eating-related behaviour that alters food intake or absorption and gravely compromises one's physical or psychological well-being is known as a feeding or eating disorder (DSM- 5).Teenagers nowadays are more susceptible to worry about their weight, shape, size, and body image. As a result, many of them diet to reduce weight. There’s little awareness about these body and weight related issues arising. These practices have been put forward as potential contributing factors to the emergence of eating disorders. Numerous studies have proposed that the media may be instrumental in fostering and amplifying the phenomena of body dissatisfaction and, as a result, may contribute to the rise in eating disorders. This study summarises some of the findings on the media's impact on adolescents' development of selfperception, body image, weight control behaviours resulting in eating disorders (eg. anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, pica, rumination disorder and binge eating disorder) and body dysmorphia. It will also discuss the positive impacts of mass media in the lives of adolescents.
