Please, a Few Minutes? Posted: 12-03-04 15:33pm
My name is sarah and I am a student at
wootton upper school. I am in the process
of putting together my sociology
coursework, in which I have to carry out a
questionnaire. This will help me
understand more about my topic and
investigate further. The topic of my
coursework is, “do images and articles in
teenage magazines affect dieting practice
