Looking at pics of celebs in fashion magazines, like the new size zero models, it makes me sick to think that young children look up to them as a role model. i hear a lot of teenagers saying i would love to be a size zero model. It is just ruining little childrens lives. Children stop eating to try and be liuke models, but then it becomes a health hazard.
What do you think?
Do you think Youngsters are harming themselves and their bodies to be as the models would call "beautiful"?
I mean you do not have to have your bones sticking out of your body to look good, in fact it is the complete opposite.
Please tell me your views on the (size zero) models and how you think it affects children.

That is a thought to a degree; then you also have to look at the children that are around eachother. They have something to do with it too. School you learn that people are mean and they will pick on you for just about anything and if weight is the issue then that is where for some it starts. I'm a small person and have always been but have not cared about my size. There are some people that are just large and i think they are just as beautiful and the thin ones.

I do believe that popular ideas of beauty is very harmful to the way young people view themselves. We need more people like Queen Lateifia (there are others) that looks like a real person and is absolutly beautiful but probably not a size zero! A lot of young people will do a lot of damage to their bodies and their minds before they realize what they have done and a lot of it can not be undone.
