xxHow does modelling affect the teenagers wanting to fit in?
im a teen and well im not a self concious, self obsessive type but i do know girls that look towards models as role models and have self confidence issues, i know some parents that actually push their kids to be skinnier when they are already skinny. most models have the natural tendency to be thin and tall which have been beautfied and made to seem perfect the only problem is that their perfect image is unrealistic, but because they are everywhere in the media it is easy to see why so many teens have issues.How does modelling affect the teenagers wanting to fit in?
all the girls are very very skinny and very pretty, it makes us teenage girls think that you *have* to be very very skinny and pretty to get anywhere in lfe. That if were arnt anywhere near as perfect as the models noone will like us and we'll be outcasted because we arnt like them.





Another topic couple be how TV can also help people, like the animal cruelity shows that show the horrors of it and why we shouldnt hurt animals, or the commercials about bullying and cyber bullying.
badly in most cases


im a model, new to the business but still


as soon as i was hired, even though i wasnt told to, my immediate thought was ';lose weight';


i dont know why i felt like i had to, even though i told myself it was stupid it became quite an obsession


many girls develop eating disorders because of the media forcefeeding us images of skinny woman. Even people liek me, who are proud of their curves and cant stand people like posh etc still feel presurised, even without knowing it.
the modeling industry has made so many teens want to be pretty and flawless and if they can't be they feel down on them selves and like there worth nothing...just look up all the ';Could i be a model'; questions on here...
well, teenagers see modelling and they try to look good, buying expensive clothes but not necessary and they care about how their looks but not school... dont know..
thinspiration.....


its when one sees a model, and is inspired to become thinner..


and thinner..


and thinner..








im struggling trying to get out of that trance..


knowing


that


it


kills
The media portrays celebrities and models all


in the same ways. They make them seem flawless


and beautiful, skinny and tanned. Every picture is


air brushed yet still normal people want to be exactly


like what they see in the magazines. Girls everywhere


strive to be what is impossible, they go to extremes


to try and look like that girl on the cover of the magazine


but it just leads to eating disorders, extreme diets and


can cause diseases such as bulimia and anorexia.


Hope this helped!
