Proud2BeMe


Last month, the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) announced the launch of an interactive teen website, www.Proud2Bme.org! Proud2Bme is dedicated to promoting healthy attitudes about food, weight and body image, targeting teens and young adults.

The site provides youth with a positive, fun, interactive environment to learn, connect with others and take action for personal and social change—especially the many teens with body image issues or who have (or are at risk of developing) eating disorders. Through engaging content and community features, this unique online space offers news about entertainment, fashion, beauty and other relevant pop culture in a safe, age-appropriate environment. Additionally, there are forums and chat rooms where teens are able to interact and make new friends.
