Body Image

These statistics did not surprise me at all. Young girls without a doubt judge their own bodies based on females on tv and in advertisements. It is so sad that they don't recognize that those females are below average when it comes to their bodyweight. However, I do understand that those actresses are below average in body weight and I still find myself comparing myself and other people to them. This begs the question, how do we fix this? Is it even possible? I think that for this generation, it is not possible. It is already so imbedded into the minds of young people. I do believe that media can do a better job of showing that there is beauty in all body shapes. I also found it interesting that kids are more susceptable to have poor body image when their mother's have poor body image.
