Sizing Up A Weighty Problem

Models are skipping meals, drinking and smoking and their bodies are not able to cope with the pressure.

The media has criticised this trend as it is taking a toll on the modelling world. There have been many articles blowing the issue wide open and showing the consequences of this social sickness.

Most models I see are anorexic and I don’t think it’s in any way being a role model as teenagers are wanting to look like models. Actresses are also following their lead and are going on the downward spiral to a lot of ill health issues.

Teenagers today see models, actresses and singers as role models and are copying these stars style, hair and now even copying the size zero popularity and it’s not in any way healthy, especially for teenagers who’s bodies are still developing. I don’t believe people get this way on purpose as there has to be a problem behind it and it needs to be sorted.
