7. Do you think the media contributes to the growing rate of girls developing eating disorders younger and younger?

Defs! Models/actors/singers are under so much pressure to remain at a really low weight as it is seen as ‘attractive’ and the media seems to promote thinness ridiculously.  However, I have noticed magazines such as Dolly and Cosmo have been printing ‘re-touch free zone’ images where the models are normal sized and photoshop isnt used.  

There are so many examples of ‘pro-anorexic’ behaviour being portrayed throughout social networking sites like facebook, twitter and tumblr.  The pro-anorexia blogs are ridiculous because the posters truly do not get the mental, emotional and physical aspects of being anorexic.  

I hope this post makes sense because im really tired and not thinking straight lol :/
