Is anyone else sick of this?

Question

Is anyone else sick of this world? Why does society have to pressure girls to be stick skinny? I'm in middle school, and I see how people are trying to pressure each other to be tiny sticks. I used to care, but I've decided that I'm healthy. Does anyone else think that its horrid how much pressure is put on girls to be skinny?

i asked this question, because people are such jerks. Peopelin my class call pretty, SKINNY, normal people fat. I no someone (me) who is 5,4 and 115 pounds, and people call her fat. THAT IS HEALTHY! I dont understand y people cant understand people should be healthy not super stick skinny!

Answer 1

I think youre a little ahead of your time, but there is a "movement" of sorts. Looks like you're in it! Good luck. Sounds like your content with yourself & that speaks volumes. KUDOS
Did you know that subject is all over the media- and I mean in a positive way..from the Today show to Oprah to the Dove campaign...a little older than your age group, but we gotta start somewhere.

Answer 2

Yes, even as a guy, i can see how stressing it is for girls to be skinny. I feel horrible to be part of the gender that does this to you girls. Unfortunately, my voice is drowned out by people who only have skinny on their minds. That is America for you. We are the most obese nation on this planet. Anyone who shows that they are against that, well, that's good, seeing as our life expectancy is dropping. But now we are raising those who chose to be skinny on our shoulders and praising them, while stereotyping obese people as "lesser-thans". Of course, this is a generalization, but its closer to the truth than i would like it to be.
To conclude my point, I think that we should strive for better eating habits, and not make such a big deal if your skinny or not,

As we are all human.

Answer 3

i think an analogous way. there is a lot from Nascar that we omit, reason they by no potential instruct it, what is going on interior the pits, the storage aspects, all forms of issues. Then there is often drag racing, I luv drag racing yet whilst this is on an analogous time as a Nascar race, i don't watch it. what's incorrect with back interior the Day, the flicks approximately Senior, highlights from the NHRA, something race appropriate somewhat of the crap they have on there now. Their complete venue has replaced, velocity is approximately autos, not certainty B/S. JMHO

Answer 5

I hate it when people say stuff like only skinny girls are HOT but they are WRONG. Besides, nobody is skinny. Sure they may be smaller that other people but so what. Girls who worry about there weight have a higher chance of an eating disorder! FIGHT FOR PEOPLE'S RIGHT!!!!! thanks for listening!

Answer 6

Yeah...but Im in high school now it isnt as bad. Your actually considered "uncool" if you worry too much about your weight, because people that are cool dont give a f*****. Middle school is stupid, once you get into high school it isnt the same.

Answer 7

yeah, i think it is pretty bad. the pressures lead to health problems, such as anerexia. as long as you are healthy and comfortable about your self, don't always try to follow the crowds.

Answer 8

i was just at the mall shopping and seen tons and tons of girls that look like bones with skin over it. it is disturbing. and most clothes now a days are made only for them. double zero and so on.

Answer 9

You're soo right girl! But thats not guna convince anyone. You can start by influencing yourself which you already have. U are on the right track ^^

Answer 10

yeah!
I almost drove myself to the point of anorexia 3 times last summer. i drove myself to the point of tears multiple times, and I'm sick and tired of everywhere I look... ANOTHER skinny role model...
