Body Image and the Media
Body Image.
Well, obviously it’s everywhere, but how we think we’re supposed to look like is ridiculous. We can’t all be stick figures and so skinny you can see our ribs. I don’t have a problem with people who look like that, but the media puts skinny models on the covers of all the popular magazines. It’s insane. I deeply think the media should change the perspective of how girls need to be skinny to be beautiful. We’re all different sizes and shapes. That’s what makes the world wonderful. No one should have to looked down upon in society because they’re not “beautiful” or “skinny enough”. Please be logical and not make girls feel self-conscious every time they see a tiny girl on the cover of a magazine.
