Andrea Bowen, who plays Julie, is one of a group of young actors that have joined the Dove Self Esteem Fund to help young girls feel better about themselves.

An article in GMTV says that the percentage of teenagers that have low self esteem is very high, and a large part of that problem is the image they get of what they should look like from watching television.

The stars will hold BodyTalk workshops with teenagers, explaining the importance of having a healthy self image. Andrea Bowen’s workshop was in the UK on Nov. 22nd.
