Teacher highlights dangers of viral ‘Girl Dinner’ trend
A teacher in Queensland has spoken up about a disturbing rise in "eating disorder pacts" occurring amongst schoolchildren, fuelled partly by the viral TikTok trend of 'Girl Dinner'. The Courier Mail did an investigation into the rate of eating disorders amongst children and young people in Queensland, finding that between January and July this year, people aged between 0-19 were admitted with health complications related to an eating disorder 1,304 times. Speaking to the publication, one teacher explained that she had seen a rise in "diet clubs" at schools, where children encourage one another to take up or continue disordered eating behaviours. "We've never seen anything like it," she said. "I know of kids who were being admitted for eating disorder at six years of age, requiring tube feedings at the hospital because they didn't want to get fat. "We have girls pass out because they refuse to take their jumpers off because they don't like how their body looks in it and would rather feel unwell to the point of passing out at school. "Teachers know this is happening but they have no training in eating disorders. We know abuse, self-harm, and signs of neglect but not how to help kids develop a positive body image. It's not seen as a priority." The teacher also went on to say that the education curriculum needs to be changed as well because it's feeding into the idea of food morality - where certain foods are 'bad' and others are 'good'. "They're being told 'chocolate is bad it will make you fat'. It's brainwashing. "There's also a lunch box policy in primary schools, that don't allow junk food and kids who bring it are told they're naughty. "Then we wonder how these kids get eating disorders." Several experts have also said that social media trends such as 'girl dinner' and 'what I eat in a day' are harmful, especially to those trying to recover from an eating disorder. Due to these videos often containing body checking - where creators show their appearance - followed by the food they eat, often very small portions of 'healthy' and low calorie foods, essentially covertly telling viewers "eat like this to look like me." Clinical nutritionist Lexi Crouch, who struggled with her own eating disorder at age seven, told The Courier Mail: "There is a growing need for teachers to be properly educated and to include positive body image in the curriculum. "This is something I wish I personally experienced at a young age instead of being drawn into diet culture myself before making a full recovery from an eating disorder."

Woman catches boyfriend 'cheating' on Google Maps
A woman discovered that her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best pal by using Google Street View. The unnamed lady randomly went on there after spotting one of the web giant’s cars passing her house. She says she was curious to know what route the vehicle took and decided to follow it online. The cars have taken snaps of every accessible road on the planet. They are used on Google Maps and Google Street View. At one point, the woman claims that she spotted her fella on a motorbike with another woman. She says: “The person on the back didn’t look like me so I followed them.” At certain points in the video, she apparently loses sight of her boyfriend’s motorcycle and had to search for him. She then recognises a side street he used to take her down. The woman explains: “He went down a street where he used to take me. “We always visited that little square. “At that point, I thought I was just being paranoid in my head, that it couldn't be him.” At the end of the video, a man is seen resting his head on a woman’s lap on a street bench. She claims the woman was her best friend. She says: “But it was my fella and my best friend. I'm devastated.” The video was shared on TikTok by Juliana Lima from Ceará, Brazil, where it went viral with 9.3 million views. One viewer commented: “Google saving lives.” Another joked: “I'm starting to think she was driving the Google car.” Someone else said: “It’s very unlucky for a guy to get caught by a Google car that passes once a year.” Maria wrote: “FBI no, Google Maps.” Paloma remarked: “My children's father didn't pay child support and he disappeared, so I found out where he was on Google Maps and I went there.” Someone else commented: “That Google Maps vehicle did not follow them. There's something wrong here. It gives street positions, but not with that precision.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Drake hits out at ‘weirdos’ making Millie Bobby Brown comments on Instagram
Drake hit back at "weirdos" on social media who reportedly made comments about Millie Bobby Brown under his posts. In the track 'Another Late Night', attention was soon turned to the Stranger Things actress, following a string of remarks online calling the pair's friendship odd due to the age difference. Bobby Brown has always spoken highly of Drake, calling him "a great friend and a great role model." In one part of the song, the rapper says: "My bank account is magnolia, Milly rockin', ayy, weirdos in my comments talkin' 'bout some Millie Bobby, look. "Bring them jokes up to the gang, we get to really flockin', or send a finger to your mama in some FedEx boxes." "Open up that s**t, it's jaw droppin', really shockin', ayy, I ain't pretty flacko, b***h, this s**t get really rocky, ayy." It comes after the 36-year-old said he will be taking a break from music following the release of For All The Dogs. On an episode of the SiriusXM series Table for One, Drake shared: "I probably won't make music for a little bit. "I'm going to be real with you. I need to focus on my health, first and foremost, and I'll talk about that soon enough. "Nothing crazy… I want people to be healthy in life, and I've been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach. I'm just saying what it is. "So, I need to focus on my health, and I need to get right, and I'm going to that. I have a lot of other things that I would love to focus on. "So, I'm going to lock the door in the studio for a little bit. I don't even know what a little bit is. Maybe a year or so, maybe a little longer."
