Me! Healthy Mind, Healthy Body

By: Jan Haskings-Winner
Ever wonder if body piercing is safe? Me! Healthy Body, Healthy Mind takes a look at issues like body image, tattooing, steroids and skin cancer through articles, poetry, cartoons, and a hair-raising history of, well, hair. Encouraging a healthy approach to living, you'll learn about easy-to-learn activities from biking to Ultimate Frisbee, and find out about a Russian beauty contestant that set off a controversy for being a "plain beauty." One teen shares her reflections on society's obsession with weight while another shares the story of her courageous fight with skin cancer.
