The days of the ‘perfect 10’ are
officially behind us. A shocking
body image epidemic is sweeping
the UK’s young people with
the number of girls under 16
hospitalised for malnutrition due
to extreme dieting increasing
by 80% over the last decade.
Anorexia, bulimia and body
dysmorphia (being obsessed with
something you think is wrong with
your body) are becoming more
prominent among adolescents
in Britain today. The size six
ideology and concave stomachs
of modelling make young people
want to punish their bodies.
But why? What makes
young people want to
go to such extremes as
starvation and protein
shake supplements for
the perfect body?
Many are willing to pin the blame
on today’s media and the fact
that unrealistically skinny models
are splashed across page after
page of magazines. The runway
is ruled by this size six stereotype
and the bodies of these women
are seen as an object of envy,
but as a teenager I find it hard
to pin the blame merely on the
cut-throat world of fashion and
airbrushed photographs.
Ex-anorexics have claimed that
the extreme and restrictive diet
pattern offers a sense of control
and routine which, particularly as
an adolescent with a cacophony
of emotions to deal with, offers
a stable and constant ‘lifeline’.
Professor Janet Treasure, director
of the Eating Disorder Unit and
Professor of Psychiatry at Guy’s,
King’s & St Thomas’ Medical
School in London, describes the
fear an anorexic has of gaining
weight and relinquishing control:
“[people with anorexia] are so
afraid of gaining even a pound
in weight, they are terrified of
seeking treatment”. Turbulent
home life, broken relationships or
the influence of friends can cause
a teenager to slip into an eating
disorder from which only 30-40%
of sufferers make a full recovery.
Eating disorders during the
teenage years can have a
detrimental effect on the future
health of an individual. It is a
crucial time for the development
of the body as the young person
advances from child to adult. An
eating disorder such as Anorexia
Nervosa during these vital years
can lead to Osteoporosis (brittle
bones) and infertility.
But what can be done?
As a teenager myself I know
that body image has a pivotal
influence on my own life, I also
feel that growing up with a
healthy attitude to food provides
a healthy attitude to the body.
Highlighting the long and short
term effects of eating disorders
on the body and the mind of
the sufferer reaffirms the need
for such information to be
broadcast to young people like
myself. Because, with all the facts
in place, the hunger pangs and
the size six physique... well, it
doesn’t seem that worth it really.
Does it?

ARIES 21 March - 19 April
A surprise is in store for you this
month as your luck begins to
turn around. You may have to
make sacrifices in order to reach
your goals and although you can
normally rely on your feelings
to guide you, perhaps you need
to step back in order to see the
bigger picture. The colour green
brings you good luck at home.
TAURUS 20 April - 20 May
This month is one of re-balancing
and rebuilding. You may feel as
if one part of your life is invading
the other. This may be telling you
that perhaps you need to manage
your time more effectively. Have
you been at a bit of a loose end
recently? Your creative side will
keep you busy especially where
travel is involved.
GEMINI 21 May - 21June
The sun gives you a well deserved
boost of energy this month but
don’t use it up too quickly! Let
your hair down and enjoy the
fruits of your labour. Your recent
efforts will not go unnoticed and
you will be all the more healthy if
you allow yourself a break once
in a while. The number 11 brings
a stranger close to your heart.
CANCER 22 June - 22 July
Good advice comes from an
unlikely source this month as
someone you know shows a
more compassionate side to their
character. As the winter winds
bring darker evenings you may
become more in touch with your
emotional side as well, giving you
valuable insight and helping with
your relationships.
LEO 23 July - 22 August
You feel like your head’s been
in the clouds recently but don’t
worry! This period of self reflection
will help you when it comes to
focusing your energy in the right
places. If you have been through
a time of economic hardship
recently, help could be on its way,
providing you keep up the positive
attitude. Good news will come
from a Capricorn.
VIRGO 23 August - 22 September
Change can be a shock to the
system but if you allow things to
run their course you could end
up in a comfortable position. If
you feel distracted by others,
give yourself room to breathe,
or you could miss out on an
exciting opportunity. Keep your
eyes open for romance in the last
place you would expect.
LIBRA 23 September - 22 October
The bonds you have with friends
and family members will get
stronger as long as you listen
carefully to what they have to say.
You may feel like the mediator in
a disagreement so be careful not
to take sides. Your star sign gives
you courage to resolve issues and
act fairly for all involved. A yellow
flower brings you luck.
SCORPIO
23 October - 21 November
You may feel as if the weight of
the world is on your shoulders at
the moment. Contrary to what you
think, you’re in a much stronger
position. You are just letting too
much negativity into your life. The
more you focus on the good the
more you can trust yourself and
drive out this negativity.
SAGITTARIUS 22 November -
21 DecemberYou’re calm and collected attitude
to life brings comfort to a friend
or relative this month as you
begin to help the people around
you with kind words and sound
advice. As you find more ways
to help others, be careful not to
neglect your own wishes. Luck
comes knocking on a Wednesday.
CAPRICORN 22 December -
19 JanuaryThis month your organisational
skills come in very useful either
at work or in your leisure time.
You’ll find that your experience
gives you a head-start in
competitive situations and allows
you to shine. If travel is planned,
you will have a great time along
with a few surprises! A Virgo
shows you patience.
AQUARIUS 20 January - 18 February
It may be that the relationships
in your life at this time are going
through a testing period, and you
feel like the people you used to
turn to for advice are nowhere
to be seen. Don’t lose hope yet.
As one door closes another one
opens. Trust yourself to make
the right decision and soon your
bridges could be on the mend.
PISCES 19 February - 20 March
The moon brings a calming force
this month as you feel yourself
becoming more confident in
expressing your opinions and
realising your potential. This new
found confidence allows you to
move forwards with the plans
you have been putting off all
year. Just be careful not to bite
off more than you can chew. Pace
yourself to avoid things piling up.

Here are some cool ideas to help jazz up your Hallowe’en celebrations!These delicious treats are easy to whip up and make a spooky Hallowe’en treat!
Cobweb cakesIngredients• 125g/4½oz plain flour• 25g/1oz cocoa powder• 1½ tsp baking powder• 150g/5oz caster sugar• 50g/2oz butter, softened at
room temperature• 1 free-range egg• 8 tbsp milkFor the cream cheese icing• 50g/2oz cream cheese• 25g/1oz butter, softened at
room temperature• 125g/4oz icing sugar, sifted• ½ tsp vanilla essenceFor the chocolate icing• 25g/1oz icing sugar• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Preparation method1. Preheat the oven to
180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a muffin tray with 9 paper cases.
2. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a bowl. Add the sugar and butter and beat the mixture together until well combined.
3. Whisk in the egg and milk until the mixture is thick and smooth.
4. Divide the mixture between the paper case and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until springy to the touch and skewer inserted into the middle of one of the cakes comes out clean. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
5. For the cream cheese icing, beat the cream cheese and butter together in a bowl until well combined. Beat in the icing sugar and vanilla.
6. Spoon the icing onto the cupcakes, leaving a small border around the edge.
7. For the chocolate icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of water to form a smooth, thick icing.
8. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a fine nozzle. (Alternatively, spoon the mixture into the corner of a sandwich bag and snip off the corner, to form a small hole.)
9. Carefully pipe 3 concentric circles onto each cupcake. Run a toothpick from the centre to the edge of the cake, through each circle of icing, at 2cm/1in intervals to create a cobweb effect.
10. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow the icing to harden
Creepy eyeballsThese are really simple to make but they look really freaky when they’re done! You’ll need: • 20 marshmallows • 20 raisins • Red icing writer Assemble the eyeballs by pushing one raisin into the centre of one marshmallow. Using the red icing writer, draw the bloodshot lines on the top and sides of the marshmallow. Allow the icing on the marshmallow eyeballs to dry before serving them at your Hallowe’en party. Repeat the process with the rest of your marshmallows. Makes 20 eyeballs.

LEO 23 July - 22 AugustYou feel like your head’s been in the clouds recently but don’t worry! This period of self reflection will help you when it comes to focusing your energy in the right places. If you have been through a time of economic hardship recently, help could be on its way, providing you keep up the positive attitude. Good news will come from a Capricorn.
VIRGO 23 August - 22 SeptemberChange can be a shock to the system but if you allow things to run their course you could end up in a comfortable position. If you feel distracted by others, give yourself room to breathe, or you could miss out on an exciting opportunity. Keep your eyes open for romance in the last place you would expect.
LIBRA 23 September - 22 OctoberThe bonds you have with friends and family members will get stronger as long as you listen carefully to what they have to say. You may feel like the mediator in a disagreement so be careful not to take sides. Your star sign gives you courage to resolve issues and act fairly for all involved. A yellow flower brings you luck.
SCORPIO 23 October - 21 NovemberYou may feel as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders at the moment. Contrary to what you think, you’re in a much stronger position. You are just letting too much negativity into your life. The more you focus on the good the more you can trust yourself and drive out this negativity.
SAGITTARIUS 22 November - 21 DecemberYou’re calm and collected attitude to life brings comfort to a friend or relative this month as you begin to help the people around you with kind words and sound advice. As you find more ways to help others, be careful not to neglect your own wishes. Luck comes knocking on a Wednesday.
CAPRICORN 22 December - 19 JanuaryThis month your organisational skills come in very useful either at work or in your leisure time. You’ll find that your experience gives you a head-start in competitive situations and allows you to shine. If travel is planned, you will have a great time along with a few surprises! A Virgo shows you patience.
AQUARIUS 20 January - 18 FebruaryIt may be that the relationships in your life at this time are going through a testing period, and you feel like the people you used to turn to for advice are nowhere to be seen. Don’t lose hope yet. As one door closes another one opens. Trust yourself to make the right decision and soon your bridges could be on the mend.
PISCES 19 February - 20 MarchThe moon brings a calming force this month as you feel yourself becoming more confident in expressing your opinions and realising your potential. This new found confidence allows you to move forwards with the plans you have been putting off all year. Just be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. Pace yourself to avoid things piling up.

King Blues were brilliant but the best band were We Start Partys. They brought something completely new to the festival. Great, great day :) Youth Councillor, Jake Topp
Around 2000 young people attended Butserfest this year. Once again I had the pleasure of attending. The atmosphere was superb and the young people had a thoroughly good time. Some young people told me it was the best day of their lives and the event keeps getting better and better each year. Cllr Hilary Ayer

Here are some cool ideas to help jazz up your Hallowe’en celebrations!These delicious treats are easy to whip up and make a spooky Hallowe’en treat!
Cobweb cakesIngredients• 125g/4½oz plain flour
• 25g/1oz cocoa powder
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• 150g/5oz caster sugar
• 50g/2oz butter, softened at room temperature
• 1 free-range egg
• 8 tbsp milk
For the cream cheese icing• 50g/2oz cream cheese
• 25g/1oz butter, softened at room temperature
• 125g/4oz icing sugar, sifted
• ½ tsp vanilla essence
For the chocolate icing• 25g/1oz icing sugar
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Preparation method1. Preheat the oven to
180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a muffin tray with 9 paper cases.
2. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a bowl. Add the sugar and butter and beat the mixture together until well combined.
3. Whisk in the egg and milk until the mixture is thick and smooth.
4. Divide the mixture between the paper case and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until springy to touch and skewer inserted into the middle of one of the cakes comes out clean. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
5. For the cream cheese icing, beat the cream cheese and butter together in a bowl until well combined. Beat in the icing sugar and vanilla.
6. Spoon the icing onto the cupcakes, leaving a small border around the edge.
7. For the chocolate icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of water to form a smooth, thick icing.
8. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a fine nozzle. (Alternatively, spoon the mixture into the corner of a sandwich bag and snip off the corner, to form a small hole.)
9. Carefully pipe 3 concentric circles onto each cupcake. Run a toothpick from the centre to the edge of the cake, through each circle of icing, at 2cm/1in intervals to create a cobweb effect.
10. Set aside 20 minutes to allow the icing to harden
Creepy eyeballsThese are really simple to make but they look really freaky when they’re done!
You’ll need:
• 20 marshmallows
• 20 raisins
• Red icing writer
Assemble the eyeballs by pushing one raisin into the centre of one marshmallow. Using the red icing writer, draw the bloodshot lines on the top and sides of the marshmallow. Allow the icing on the marshmallow eyeballs to dry before serving them at your Hallowe’en party.
Repeat the process with the rest of your marshmallows. Makes 20 eyeballs.
