Girls in the Media

Women are portrayed to have great bodies and to be perfect. Well, that is how the media portrays women to be, all the time on advertisements and in shows women are ridiculously skinny and it does not look right. It makes them look anorexic and even fake. When, my teacher showed us a website that showed us the different changes that magazines editors made that changed the look of Britney Spears or Kirsten Dunst it was sort of sickening, because they were altering the real person and changing them to what the media thinks they should look like. I feel that women should be comfortable with the way they look, they should not compare themselves to supermodels or famous people. If girls keep getting skinnier by a younger age it is so unhealthy. Now we see younger girls who are eating less because they are not happy with the way their bodies look, but the less you eat it affects your hormones and your appetite. Women are ridiculed more to have the perfect body because that is what many guys look for in women's body types, they have to have the best looking girfriend or friends because it will make them look cool. However, why couldn't people just be happy about the way they look they don't need to be criticized by the media.
