Thin Celebs

We live in a Celebrity society with reality television, fashion designers and celebrity gossip magazines pushed in our faces. While this may be good for the ‘Celebrities’ who are getting their 15 minutes of fame, it’s not so good for the teenagers - especially the females. 

They are forced to see stick-thin models/celebrities and then believe that ‘skinny is in’, and not just any skinny, but super-skinny: tiny arms, a visible ribcage and thighs.

Magazines like to take photos and mock celebrities as ‘fat’ for actually having more body fat then a skeleton.  Because of this, we have high rates of anorexia and bulimia, with teenagers literally striving themselves to get the ‘perfect body’. As far as health issues go, skinny people face many of the same risks that overweight people face - including diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack.

They should promote themselves positively for teenagers to follow and always aim for attaining a healthy body because slim people need to exercise as much as others in order to be healthy. In my view, it looks far prettier to have a bit of body fat, then to resemble a skeleton from the Science class.
