The historic Gatehouse at the entrance to the Sheppard Pratt Campus.

A study from the Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt in Maryland that surveyed 600 Facebook users, ages 16 to 40. found more than half of the respondents said looking at themselves on Facebook made them more self-conscious about their body image and weight.

Forty percent of men thought they looked fat or complained about their weight, compared to only 20 percent for women.

Facebook users are complaining that by going to Timeline and looking at photos of themselves from many years ago and comparing them to how they look today is depressing.
