Peer pressure can result in a desire to conform to the group and can result in low self-esteem, depression, and eating disorders. Fad diets focus on unique ways to consume foods, but are usually a passing trend. Being the target of bullying in school would be more likely to promote depression or acting out rather than eating disorders. Weight loss programs promote healthy food choices and lifestyle changes.
