o In today’s world girls are shown brutally in media. To be in most fashion magazines you have to have what’s called the perfect body, being too skinny for your own good, which isn’t setting a good or healthy example for the young girls of our society. Now starting from such a young age girls are very unsure and self-conscious about their bodies and they think they need to be “perfect”. By telling our young girls that their body should be a certain way our society has caused eating disorders to increase rapidly over that past years. Statistics show that up to 20% of people with eating disorders will die and today eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses. In my opinion we need to set a positive role model for the young girls of today’s world; we should teach them that looks aren’t the most important thing and you don’t need to be “stick” skinny, you just need to be healthy. We should stop photo-shopping the pictures in magazines and we should start using women and girls of all different body types to show them that there isn’t just one perfect body type.
