:00:24. > :00:30.And the man riding high with this terrifying tower trick.

:00:31. > :00:33.Straight to our top story today - more than a quarter of a million

:00:34. > :00:36.girls in Britain are unhappy with their lives, that's according

:00:37. > :00:38.to a study that came out today from charity,

:00:39. > :00:43.They found that one in seven girls, aged between 10

:00:44. > :00:48.and 15 are not happy with their lives overall.

:00:49. > :00:51.And more than a third of those asked said they don't feel

:00:52. > :00:54.Well, here to talk about the results is psychologist,

:00:55. > :00:57.Emma Kenney, but before that, let's hear from some of you about

:00:58. > :01:06.At school you're expected to do well, but also look nice and to...

:01:07. > :01:11.Like have friends, but then it is hard to do all them. I think that

:01:12. > :01:16.boys have probably the same pressures as girls, but they manage

:01:17. > :01:21.it in a very different way. They post a picture and you think it is,

:01:22. > :01:25.you think you're pretty, or you like that one, but you get a nasty

:01:26. > :01:27.comment, saying that is ugly or something negative. Then you don't

:01:28. > :01:32.want to put a picture on again. As we saw there, social media

:01:33. > :01:36.is playing a part in the results - how do you think it's changed

:01:37. > :01:46.what girls think about themselves? One of the big things is it is so

:01:47. > :01:51.accessible. Children with smart technology they can go online and

:01:52. > :01:54.criticise themselves, comparing themselves to people who are

:01:55. > :02:03.airbrushed and shot through filters. There is a lot of people who look

:02:04. > :02:07.amazing in celebrities, but don't look like that in real life. A

:02:08. > :02:14.quarter of a million young people being unhappy, that is a big number.

:02:15. > :02:19.Yes and it is testament to the way we measure our children, they can

:02:20. > :02:27.get measured on English and maths, not necessarily meaning they're a

:02:28. > :02:32.poor learner, but they are not looking at the capabilities we need.

:02:33. > :02:36.People want advice on how to not feel this way? First recognise it.

:02:37. > :02:43.If you recognise you're unhappy, you can talk to somebody about it. Seek

:02:44. > :02:48.support, either off a parent or off a teacher, somebody you can talk

:02:49. > :02:53.toichlt you need to reframe it. So think about it differently. Know

:02:54. > :02:57.that these pictures are edited and airbrushed, they're not real and

:02:58. > :03:02.remember you are so much more than the way that you look. There will be

:03:03. > :03:06.girls and boys who are critical about themselves, but if they think

:03:07. > :03:07.about they're strengths and capabilities, they will feel more

:03:08. > :03:11.positive. Thank you. Moving on, there's been
