Paper self image of pre & teen girls ideas?

[Rainbow]

I was thinking of using this for a topic the self image of pre teen and teen girls today. As I am tranfering to major in Recreation Administration evently and work at a Girl Scout Camp I will be able to apply my research to my job right away this summer. Alway thinking about camp. lol

Using sources such as THE NEW NORMAL? What Girls Say About Healthy Living a Girl Scouts of the USA by the The Girl Scout Research Institute
http://www.girlscouts.org/research/publications/original/healthy_living.asp
Also the movie Mean Girls.

Got any other good sources?
I know there are some reading in my Issues in Womens Studies textbook and then online databases of the library. But you all seem to come from various backgrounds and might have some good ideas.

Reviving Ophelia and Ophelia speaks are two excellent books that you could draw vignettes from.
What about the dove websites that loofa (i think) keeps referring to?
