Stop the presses! A new study has come out advising shy girls are more likely to put on weight.  To simply advise that the problem is being shy seems to mean a lack of research.

Speaking from experience, it’s a combination of things that can cause weight gain.  Girls are shy because of issues with lack of confidence! This can be caused by body issues, but also teasing from peers and problems that are related to lack of confidence or teasing, such as bad grades or lack of friends.

There really is a multitude of reasons why girls can put on weight.  Simply put, to make a statement that “being shy” gains weight shows ignorance on the issue, a lack of understanding and a lack of research in finding the real cause of this “shyness.”
