Hi hi, so long never post about anything already, so since holidays are here, I decided to kill time by posting (:

When I read newspaper articles and reports on how teenage girls thinking that their self portrayal of their image. Most girls nowadays are afraid that their peers will think bad of their image even when they are already slim, petite, skinny, or look like a toothpick.
I hope that you will read this topic as many of you fall into these categories -rolls eyes-

*The thinner you are, the more unahppy you will be
*Self Image
*Models and their lifestyles

The thinner you are, the more unhappy you will be

This is actually a fact which applies to most girls who have this thinking that they are fat even when they are not. The thinner you are, the more you will be having this thinking, '' Am I fat? Will my friends think I am fat? Am I ugly? Is that why my boyfriend broke up with me? ''. For example, look at me! (: I may be overweight, but at least I am happy with the way I look.

Self Image

Girls these day are more concerned about their image than their overall health. Why so serious menz? @.@ Your body will only be with you once, and by starving yourself so you can look like an anoxeric, will scare your friends, and maybe your potential boyfriend away x[. We don't want that, do you. Skinny people with bones sticking out of their bodies look like you can play guitar with the bones.
No one says you must be skinny to be pretty. There are alot of people who are overweight, but are happy and pretty, beautiful and elegant. Skinny doesn't neccesarily means happy.

Models and their lifestyles

Alot of people think that being a model is a glamorous job, and that the pay is good, living is good, lifestyle is excellent, whatever. But the truth for most models is far from that.
Most, if not all, models starve themselves or go on a diet just to look like a skeleton. Thin is NOT the new in. Their directors/firms usually do not hired overweight models, which means they force themselves to go beyond their body limits just for a job they THINK is glamorous and pays good.

Modelling is definitely not a glamorous jobs for most of the girls. You do not know what happens backstage. Drugs, prostitution, pimping, it all happens. After a modelling job, the models usually end the day by going clubbing. Drugs are almost a neccessity and they turn to escort services for more cash returns. Modelling and their lifestyles are not glamorous, and by some means, sleazy.
Look at all those skeletons running down the catwalk. They do not look pretty with their zombie looks and flat breasts. They are also unhappy almost every other time. The stress put on by their directors to lose weight, the competition with thousands of other models and the lack of nutrition will certainly make you depressed. Many take drugs or inflict damage on themselves to escape from the peer pressure.

I hope this is a wake up call to every girl who think modelling is great (: And to everyone who think being skinny will make you happy, you're wrong.
