NSPCC Northern Ireland's Childline service is here this summer, and beyond, to support children on body image issues and eating disorders. We're here to support children via phone, email or 121 chat. Young people say influencers and trends such as calorie counting videos are affecting their body image. Support from Childline about body image issues and eating disorders peaked over the summer months last year, with the service delivering almost 1,000 counselling sessions across June, July and August. That compares to 3,364 counselling sessions to young people about these problems from April 2025 to March 2026.The summer months can be a particularly challenging time for children and young people struggling with their body image or their relationship with food. They speak to Childline about their fears of wearing certain clothes, including swimsuits, and how they feel under pressure to look a certain way. Children and young people also mention comparing themselves to influencers they see online. Some spoke to Childline about watching what I eat in a day and calorie counting videos, which often promote unhealthy habits such as extreme calorie restriction. One young person, aged 16, told the service: “I’ve had to delete social media; it was controlling my life comparing myself to others for hours. I couldn’t stop looking up weight loss videos on YouTube or weight loss transformations on Instagram.” *Another girl, aged 12 said: “This girl at school would always call me fat. My friends are all skinny, the girls I see on TikTok are skinny. I started purging and skipping meals last year and I’m finally skinny, but mum finally noticed and gets angry when I don’t eat properly. I can’t go back to eating 3 meals a day again, I can’t go back to being fat.” * Shaun Friel, Childline Director, said: "With the warm weather continuing, young people might be finding themselves in positions where they feel anxious about their body. “To cope, some young people are taking drastic measures, such as restricting their food intake or, in some instances, developing disordered eating behaviours. Children are also telling us that unrealistic beauty standards are affecting their wellbeing and self-worth, with many comparing themselves to others, particularly influencers on social media. "Childline wants every young person to know that whatever they're going through our trained counsellors are here to listen without judgment. Seeking help is always a sign of strength, not weakness."Help for adults concerned about a child: Call NSPCC on 0808 800 5000Help for children and young people: Call Childline on 0800 1111[Image shows a boy with red and brown hair wearing a rusty red hoodie sitting at a bus stop looking down, contemplatively] ...
