Is There Too Much Pressure Ongirls To Have The 'perfect' Body? by OPIAjesus: 11:04pm On Feb 12, 2015 |
More than 80 percent of 10-year- old girls are are afraid of being fat according to the American Journal of maternal/child nursing. They also stated that girls’ self esteem drops at age 12 and does not increase until 20. These facts are tied to negative body image. The statistics demonstrate the feeling by many girls that people will view and judge them based on their body image. Girls all over struggle with the pressure to be perfect. Most girls want to be extremely skinny because that is what girls think guys want. All girls are different and that doesn’t mean they are less pretty. Everywhere girls go, there is something around them advertising weight loss: TV ads, weightloss ads, shakes, diet pills, weight loss apps are popping up like crazy. The models in the advertisements don’t help either because they are too thin and probably Photoshopped. The pressure for females to have the perfect body is insane. It lowers a girls self esteem and leads to eating disorders, depression and other mental illnesses. Remember, too much pressure has dangerous outcomes. Too much pressure can lead a girl to restrict their food intake and become afraid of food in fear of gaining weight. This is known as Anorexia nervosa. It affects 75% of females. Other girls ‘binge and purge’ which is known as bulimia. All this comes from the media and home pressure to have a perfect body. |

Just hit the gym, it's all about discipline and not really pressure. I want a girl that's fit and I don't think that's too much to ask for, cause I also stay fit. |
