why is it that........?

Question

it seems like when people talk about weight in children and teens they're either calling them overweight or underweight. why is it that so many children and teens are overweight (fat) or too thin (anorexicia and bulimia)? why do so many girls feel so much pressure to be thin?

Answer 1

Overweight in children means obesity in adulthood , that is why people are getting scared of fast food and huge portions of junk food and advocating healthy eating since childhood , and those teens obsessed about being very thin can blame the media which advocates those sick models on the fashion shows and promote them as how the society's norm of being accepted is..

Answer 2

Because of the medida or society. When u look at the magazines do u see any girls that are thick or fat? No u ALWAYS see girls who are skinny and they even make ppl think that skinny is hte best and that u will haev this or that when u are skinny or guys like skinny girls. But if u see, when a magazine did a survery most fo the guys like full figured women, not the anorecsic ones. I don't know why people think that skinny is th best. I think that a REAL women should be full figured and have hips or curves and not so skinny that u can see her bones or veins sticking out of her body when she bends or even when she does nothing at all. Hollywood makes new comers have to competer with eachother for who is skinnier. U don't see as much big or full women receiving the leading role of anything becuase they want to keep the image as women being skinny.

Teens are over weight bcuz they are getting very lazy and decide that smoking adn drinking and partying and doing drugs is the cool thing and they don't care about what they do to their bodies. They can eat and eat and eat food and drink and smoke and do thsi and that and ruin their bodies without caring. (these are the ones that don't care what society thinks of themselves). They fell like they have no purpose in life and don't care what others think of them. So they walk around like life is nothing adn would rather choose to do whatever. And plus now in days, u cna get ANY kinda of fat foods anywhere. There are millions or billions of fast foods restaurants in the world. People like the food so they eat it and eat it. And the commercials just make it more tempting to eat the food. NO one likes healthy food anymore bcuz fat foods taste better. Healthy adn Fatty foods ahve been competing for so long now. People would rather wtahc tv and stay on the computer than excersise or go outside and just walk around for an hour or so.

Thats why there is skinny and fat people. Because of the media and society, telling or ruling people's lives and telling them that thsi si the best thign to lok like or thsi is the best kdina food out there.

Fatter kids ( sorry) usually have not the right food groups or they don't have the activities( sports etc)that they need . These days they sit more watching TV and playing the Cube or the PSP.Or they are left to them self at home . Or they just have a slow metabolism.Which later in life can cause diabetes ,Highbloodpreassure etc.
The thin part and pressure comes in when the media or the fashion world hires these MEGA THIN models and tells our young girls and women that's the style ! And our Teens want to be with the in crowd or they have a disorder which causes them to fight with this problem.

Answer 4

Well usually people who talk about children or teens who are fat is because they are rude. Girls (teens usually) try to loose weight because they are uncomfortable with there body or think it is cool and sometimes because it is a obsession and I think all of this nonsense should stop! I think if people weren't so jealous or rude then maybe this wouldn't happen but yes there would be some girls who would still be too skinny because the way they feel. i think it is horrible what is happening with teens, girls or boys.

Answer 5

As some human beings right here say, marriah=ges are made in heaven. What approximately divorces? Atre they made in heaven or hell?? i'm able to understand in the journey that your in love and actually want to be in a relationship, pass forward and marry? yet why tension somebody. i'm indian myself and under various preasure of marriage. sometime human beings marry and then they recognise they are no longer meant for one yet another. Then they must pass thorugh long courtroom case and all that rigidity for the two events. a minimum of in western worldwide, human beings can stay as a pair and then marry without been seen as an allians. To be trouble-free I hate whilst strangers ask if i'm married all of the time, and assorted question as though they dont have the different ingredient to do. they must get a existence i'm in britain lived right here for an prolonged time yet i'm proud to be Indian and omit India lots. they have have been given various cultures and religions and human beings are very spituals, pass to church homes and then come domicile and combat with neighbours and reletives. i admire India yet hate currupted Indians
