Body Image

Being healthy is an important part of a persons life. Different things are expected from different people based on their life styles. Looking through magazines such as Vogue or Seventeen all you see are the "perfect" figured women. How do we determine what is perfect and what is not?
The media corrupts people. It makes you believe that you should look a certain way and weigh a specific weight but the truth is that everyone is different. Men and women have different bodies. Different women have different bodies, no two people are going to be exactly alike in weight and height have the same eating habits and want the same things. Now a days you occasionally see a plus size person in a magazine. What is to say that is not beautiful?
Teenagers are at high risk when it comes to body image. They want to fit in , they want to be like there role model in a television show or magazine. Teenagers will go to all lengths to get to what they believe is "perfect" or what they have been taught is "perfect". Both boys and girls are suffering because they are being diagnosed with different diseases that effect them both physically and mentally. This effects the youth majorly and needs to be stopped. People die from not eating because they think they are to fat. This is a subject that needs to be dealt with so why isn't anything happening?.
