Its funny how young girls look up to models as someone they look up too, when these “role models” aren’t even real. Today almost anything that you see on television, movies and magazines are not what they appear to be. The new thing is airbrushing models to make them appear more ”beautiful”. These magazine editors portray beautiful as looking anorexic and unhealthy. This is not something that young children, pre-teens and teenagers should not be looking up too.
The British Fashion Council in London is trying to ban the use of photo shopping images. There are so many things today that can be changed digitally. For example, Photographs of actress Kate Winslet were enhanced before they appeared on the cover of GQ magazine. The actress says, “I don’t have any tits”. She isn’t the only one; actresses like Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, Mariah Carey and Penelope Cruz have been photo shopped.
By showing many girls all over the world what these celebrities look like, it makes them think that is the way they should look. These young girls reading magazines and watching tv are starting to lack self-confidence, as they can also be tracked back to eating disorders in girls as young as 10, depression, and feelings of low self-esteem. This is not how role models should be. These magazines need to stop changing how people look and show the real people that these celebrities really are.
Nobody wants an anorexic and unhealthily role model. Kids today want someone real, not fake. If you don’t have huge boobs WHO CARES. If you aren’t that “skinny” and have a little baby fat WHO CARES. Everyone should embrace there true self no matter how fat or skinny, or big or small they really are. Photo shopping should be banned from all media! Without it the kids of the next generation will become all fucked up.
Excellent point! This is a well-known topic to many young teens and even young adults. For as long as there were models, there were eating disorders that followed. The media shouldn’t be altering any photos to make them appear slimmer or make their boobs bigger! True models would be proud of their body and if the media can’t accept that then how do you expect people to be proud of who they are, whether they’re short or fat or tall or skinny or have acne. This is a big blow to the self-esteem of many young teens. Every new generation of teens are effected by how the media portrays a “model”, tall, skinny and with a full bosom.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this 100%. You aere right. Teenages are trying so hard to become thier favorite role modle but that role modle isnt even real herself. This is what causes so many self-esteem promblems and eating diseases. I saw a movie once that showed this. One girl was anerexic and they took her into a photoshoot. They showed her how the pic was and how much they do to change it. The modle was Beautiful the way she was but it wasnt "perfect". It showed the girl that she is good the way she is. No one is perfect and she should stop trying to fit in and be someone she is not!
