Hi, I'm Ricky with all you need to know this

:00:12.:00:13.

Stay right where you are for all of this.

:00:14.:00:23.

And the man riding high with this terrifying tower trick.

:00:24.:00:30.

Straight to our top story today - more than a quarter of a million

:00:31.:00:33.

girls in Britain are unhappy with their lives, that's according

:00:34.:00:36.

to a study that came out today from charity,

:00:37.:00:38.

They found that one in seven girls, aged between 10

:00:39.:00:43.

and 15 are not happy with their lives overall.

:00:44.:00:48.

And more than a third of those asked said they don't feel

:00:49.:00:51.

Well, here to talk about the results is psychologist,

:00:52.:00:54.

Emma Kenney, but before that, let's hear from some of you about

:00:55.:00:57.

At school you're expected to do well, but also look nice and to...

:00:58.:01:06.

Like have friends, but then it is hard to do all them. I think that

:01:07.:01:11.

boys have probably the same pressures as girls, but they manage

:01:12.:01:16.

it in a very different way. They post a picture and you think it is,

:01:17.:01:21.

you think you're pretty, or you like that one, but you get a nasty

:01:22.:01:25.

comment, saying that is ugly or something negative. Then you don't

:01:26.:01:27.

want to put a picture on again. As we saw there, social media

:01:28.:01:32.

is playing a part in the results - how do you think it's changed

:01:33.:01:36.

what girls think about themselves? One of the big things is it is so

:01:37.:01:46.

accessible. Children with smart technology they can go online and

:01:47.:01:51.

criticise themselves, comparing themselves to people who are

:01:52.:01:54.

airbrushed and shot through filters. There is a lot of people who look

:01:55.:02:03.

amazing in celebrities, but don't look like that in real life. A

:02:04.:02:07.

quarter of a million young people being unhappy, that is a big number.

:02:08.:02:14.

Yes and it is testament to the way we measure our children, they can

:02:15.:02:19.

get measured on English and maths, not necessarily meaning they're a

:02:20.:02:27.

poor learner, but they are not looking at the capabilities we need.

:02:28.:02:32.

People want advice on how to not feel this way? First recognise it.

:02:33.:02:36.

If you recognise you're unhappy, you can talk to somebody about it. Seek

:02:37.:02:43.

support, either off a parent or off a teacher, somebody you can talk

:02:44.:02:48.

toichlt you need to reframe it. So think about it differently. Know

:02:49.:02:53.

that these pictures are edited and airbrushed, they're not real and

:02:54.:02:57.

remember you are so much more than the way that you look. There will be

:02:58.:03:02.

girls and boys who are critical about themselves, but if they think

:03:03.:03:06.

about they're strengths and capabilities, they will feel more

:03:07.:03:07.

positive. Thank you. Moving on, there's been
