Hi, I am trying to establish whether moving back to Argentina would be a good idea with my family.
I used to live in Argentina around 15 years ago and my daughter was born there (partner is Argentine, I am from UK). We left for a number of reasons, one of which was that I was concerned about the obsession with appearance and body image that seemed to affect almost every Argentine woman I met and high levels of anorexia. Now we are considering for various reasons moving back, but my daughter is at the worst age from this point of view - she will be 13 next year. What I want to know is - have things improved? Is this still a big issue for young women? If she attended an international school like Lincoln, would she be 'shielded' from it? Your thoughts and experiences would be very welcome. Many thanks.
