The Perfect Body

145: Is there too much pressure on girls to have 'perfect' bodies?

Yes, I do believe that there is too much pressure on girls to have 'perfect bodies'. Everything where we go, we will have mannequins with waists not much bigger than their arms. We will also see photoshopped pictures of girls in magazines of on tv. This makes us want to fit in with the other girls who are already in the cycle. The cycle that makes everyone believe that skinny is the next big thing. And later on, you could die of eating disorder or starvation.

Other pressures to have 'perfect' bodies are in the clothes we wear. They are made for girls who have hourglass bodies and show off bellies for the rest of us. So we girls always make it so we can fit the tiny clothes and dress to impress. This can also cause death and severe starvation. I believe that numbers on a scale can also be a burden on a girl's shoulder. the scales are always used to determine who much a boy or girl weighs. When a girl sees this, she will usually want to lose weight. As the lady said during announcements, don't let the numbers control you.
