Body Positive: BodyTalk 2: It's a New Language In this remarkably honest and insightful documentary video, 9 to 12 year olds of diverse backgrounds share their struggles with body esteem, puberty, trying to fit in, and finding support. ''It's hard being a kid-there's a lot to deal with.'' ''We get so many messages about who we're supposed to look like and who we're supposed to be.'' ''I feel like I will never fit in. I just feel like I want to give up.'' Other preadolescents will be relieved and encouraged to recognize their own struggles. Parents, teachers and policy makers will be reminded how painful it is for children to be on the receiving end of agendas for size and shape. A video with a happy ending, preadolescents conclude that it is best of all to be true to themselves. ''You are born the way you are born. Noone can say you arenpt all right just the way you are.'' Facilitator's guide included. [20 min.] DVD. 2002
