Is thin the new in?

Everyday, women are pressured to be thin & sexy because that is what is taught to us in the media. Most women in movies, videos, and television shows are extremely thin and this is defined as sexy. Young girls lose self esteem and are forced to believe this as the truth. Some even are unhappy with themselves because they feel that
In an article, here's what an elementary school teacher had to say about the media and body image: "The media, music, and modeling worlds all portray the ideal girl or woman as being thin and perfect. On TV, the commercials seem to constantly be about some weight loss program. We are brought up in a society that glorifies thinness, and most teenage girls are preoccupied with their weight. The average size is between 8 and 14, but seldom are girls of average weight cast in a movie or video. When they are, it is a movie making fun of their appearance."
We have ceased to focus on the most important things - OURSELVES!!! Women are beautiful and unique in their own way no matter what color, shape, or size. We play important roles in society & should not rely on the images of the media to define what beautiful or sexy is. Hollywood stars have become so tangled in being the next best thing and are compromising their health to do so. Thin is not healthy and young ladies and women should be made aware of the subject. We should all be happy the way we are and stay FIT rather than SKIN & BONES!!
