Weight Factor for Girls


People think being skinny is a good thing but it’s not. You’re not healthy and you are putting your life in danger because you don’t eat enough.

Mostly celebrities and models follow this pathway because they want to look perfect and skinny. They want to look presentable and don’t want to be on a magazine with a headline that says they are fat. If they do appear on the magazine where it says they are fat they will probably go on a diet and become so skinny which I think is pointless.

In my opinion, I think people who go on diets and go over board are absolutely crazy because okay you want to lose weight but you get obsessed with it and lose so much weight and then you probably want to gain it back because you look like a skeleton. Basically, there is not point of going on diets and plus media is always going to criticize celebrities about everything so they should just ignore it.

Teenagers who look through magazines and see so many celebrities losing weight, it sort of influences them to look at themselves and think they are fat and that they should do something like that.

Some examples of celebrities that were anorexic are Nicole Richie, Lindsey Lohan, and Mary-Kate Olsen and there are tones more. Some celebrities lose a tremendous amount of weight like Hilary Duff she was normal and healthy girl when she was little and use to use to be in her own TV show “Lizze McGuire.” I guess as she grew older and was surrounded by other celebrities she thought she was to lose weight and look like other girls. You can tell the difference between her now and when she was younger. I still think she looks good but maybe a little too skinny.

There is was a picture of Nicole Richie when she got extremely skinny and you can see it on the left side of this article. As you can see they are comparing two pictures, the time she was healthy and when she got so anorexic. This first time I saw this picture I couldn’t believe it because she was so skinny and it was just hard for me to believe. The picture they were comparing her with, the one she actually looked like she has some fat in herself, looks much better than the anorexic one. If she was to look at these pictures, would she not think she looked better when she actually looked healthy?
