Project 3 Prompt

For my project 3 prompt/research question, I have chosen a topic that is super important and relevant to me. The question is, “How do relationships with food affect your mental and physical health as a teenager?” You may think that there is an easy answer to the question, however, it is way more complex than you think, or in others words what I thought. From experience with bad relationships with food, it can definitely affect you both mentally and physically. Though this is a simple answer, what I have found out through researching this topic is that scientists and researchers have put so much time and effort into creating studies and experiments for answering this question more in-depth with the reason behind it. Though I have found some articles and studies there isn’t much research and experiments done on teenagers. This has definitely been a struggle I have had to overcome; however, I have found 4 very good and in-depth sources as of now. I have learned so much about mental and physical health through this project. This topic is super relevant to me and even most of today’s generation because of eating disorders and simply bad relationships with food. I have also learned about the complexes of eating disorders, which to some may seem scary or sad to research, but for me it was something that was so eye-opening. Lastly, I just want to say that if you are struggling with your relationship with food, please get help or talk to someone (even me); it is not worth it to struggle on your own!
