Would you really want to
slowly kill yourself just to look a certain way? Girls are “Proana” and
literally starving themselves skinny. Models and dream bodies are certain
weights and sizes. Teenage girls can be very self-conscious, so why are
anorexic models figures desired by so many girls? Being that skinny is in no
way healthy, nor safe. You are slowly shutting your body down each organ at a
time. As I was watching Dr. Oz, a man was promoting anorexia. His name is
James, and he created a website to help women continue the lifestyle of being
anorexic. Dr. Oz’s reaction to some of the pictures and poems were concerned.
He said, “What scares me about this is that for anorexics, these words
are like drugs.” Why would you want to support such a bad habit? Why do
people want girls to feel so bad about them that they start to starve
themselves to death? Why is the “average girl” skinny and her bones are visible?
If a girl is “curvy” or does not have certain bones showing, then she is “fat”?
This is the way teenage girls think and feel. Sometimes, if a girl does not
have a “perfect physique” they can go into a depression. This might lead to a
serious stage of anorexia and sometimes to self-harm. Is this just a trend, or is
it the official body? This problem has not been around for more than twenty
years, because years ago, girls wanted to be “curvy” or “thick”. Why has that
all of the sudden changed? What should a woman look like? Unfortunately, this
question cannot be answered because of different opinions. The questions that
can be answered are”Why are girls trying to be at an unhealthy skinny stage?”,
“Is it just a trend?”, and “Will there ever be a “phase” when girls are the way
they are and everyone likes it?”
