they may face. Conclusion: Informing, clarifying, understanding and sizing the issue, answers are sought to the following
question: is the cult of the body just a matter of beauty or the start of a disease? The replies examine how to work with and
teach young people about this delicate issue, attempting through refl ection to retrieve the prudence and values that these
