I'm glad that you brought up this topic. It's sad to hear about Isabelle Caro but she should be used as an example for the media to stop displaying these unrealistic body images to young girls.

This is an important issue that affects many genders across the world and the media does a bad job trying to steer people away from harming themselves to stay or be skinny.

The media influences so many things especially in the young. I battled with my body image for a while and even though I was fortunate to get out of it, it is still a persistent topic in my head. Being in a deep, dark circle at one time, I know exactly what it's like to be warped in a distorted mindset. We should focus on how we can lower the negative body influences in our society today. We should work on empowering women to be just right the way they are. This is a problem that is taken too lightly until it hits your home.

I saw a "reality" show the other day where one of the girls decided to try out for a modeling agency. She was a tall, slim, beautiful girl and they accepted her on the condition that she lose 15 pounds and she immediately began dieting. When she went for her first photo shoot, she had a scraped elbow, from getting hurt while riding her bike. The modeling exec. told her to think of herself as a piece of fruit. He said that nobody wants to buy a bruised, cut or damaged piece of fruit, and the same goes for models. It really shocked me, as do some of the points you bring up in your post. The world of modeling may seem glamorous, but the more we learn about it, the more hostile and offensive it seems.SamanthaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018573299871196183noreply@blogger.com
