Misrepresentation

I understand that some girls fall into the category of wanting to look like the models through media, but most of them don’t. How can we really know that 78% of the girls 17 and over are not happy with their body? Wouldn’t they keep it to themselves, besides the statistics show that obesity rate is going up, why are they going up? I thought they were going down because the girls wanted to be anorexic. Obesity doesn’t only apply to men, but women as well.
Look at all of these weight loss programs out there, not only to get from normal to anorexic, but to get from really obese to normal. Americans spend billions of dollars on weight loss products annually.
This shows all of the statistics and it's from a very reliable source, almost necessity, the PDF files. For those familiar with the files it is never wrong.
I wouldn't say it is mostly through media, it is somewhat, but it is mostly from the people in school. When there is what ought to be the perfect body of a girl, the guys will go chasing after them. The other girls will see that, and they will pressure themselves into transforming themselves into that one perfect girl. It's not like famous people will do some sort of stupid thing on their music video that will spread to everyone in high school, because people will think the others are dumb for miming the stupid moves for example. It's the leadership that represents the people's actions. Let’s say that all the guys are chasing after this one girl, because she does lots of sports, I don't know, but that'll put pressure into other girls wanting to be in sports, just so the guys can go after them as well.
That is what I would see society as, someone who would follow one another, as for they just keep on showing off their role. Like celebrities having fancy cars and hot guys/girls, then the other people will wish to be wealthy and well known like them.
Girls show their emotions and thoughts more. Guys don’t, that is a fact, but we sort of have the same feelings. Such sayings would be an over rated athlete that guys will hate them in the inside. Some guys will try to get into a fight to prove that they’re the boss, and that he doesn’t deserve to be under rated. There are different ways of appeals, but seeing is believing, if I never seen that many anorexic girls in my life in the making, then I would believe that the girls are really trying to look skinny. I don’t see much of that here, and I’m glad.
