body image
... Every day, the media is placing a negative image of what a beautiful woman looks like in the minds of young girls. Girls, as young as twelve, or maybe younger, are constantly influenced by what the "perfect" body image should be. ... As soon as they feel insecure about their body image, they may take drastic measures to be accepted as attractive by their peers and as far as the media is concerned. The image that the media portrays as beautiful can lead the young souls to turn to anorexia or bulimia. ... They see those women as role models or as their goal for their own body image. ... Unfortunately, any young girl may look at that image of a model and is willing to do anything to look like her, even if it meant hurting herself.
