If you could ban 3 things to improve the self esteem/ image of young women what would it be?

Question

mine would be:

1 mini skirts & bakini tops as shirts and or short belly shirts
2 Clothing/ fashion/ super modles under a size 6/8
3 fast food ( if we as a country dont eat this junk we wouldnt have half the weight problems we do, and the weight problems are a major cause of self esteem/ image problems in all young people)

Answer 1

1. Barbies. ANYTHING affiliated with barbies, like the movies and stuff.
2. Fast food.
3. Guys being so drooly over skinny girls.

Answer 2

1. Plastic surgery (except when needed due to injuries, etc.)
2. Advertising that shows nothing but thin, beautiful women and anorexic models.
3. Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, etc.

I can't believe nobody said plastic surgery!!

Answer 3

-Non-supportive families
-Callus doctors
-Special "big girl" clothing stores- all stores should carry all sizes from 0-XXXXXXL- we should have the size charts changed, too, to say an exact size, like men do. This would make things easier and less embarassing to say that you are a size 20, instead of XXXXL or something.

Answer 4

1. Mirrors (even though I must have one)
2. Models on TV/Magazines
3. Junk food

Answer 5

mirrors...that desire for a "perfect" image...and the people that judge you, yeh know? make you feel like you are the last thing that should be living because of how you look or whatnot
i've had an eating disorder for 11 years, and part of it was society's bidding
the other parts were me, my illness, and other contributing factors such as sever abuse, hell i wish that could actually be banned too

Answer 6

1) Models/Celebrities
2)Fashion Critics
3)Media

Answer 7

Mirrors. Makeup. Magazines like "Mademoiselle."

Answer 8

1) Fast food (I agree with you there)
2) Television (we need to get outside more, socialize, exercise, think, create...)
3) the "ghetto"/rap "culture" (ofcourse there is good stuff, I even listen to Eimenem sometimes, but the whole "pimp and ho" thing is extremely degrading to young women).

Answer 9

1. Paris Hilton/Tabolds/celebrity "role models"
2. Miss America
3. parents that dont care

One thing we CAN do though it teach young women that it is ok to be themselves! Its ok to study for an exam, its ok to go to college to become a lawyer, its ok to stand up for what you believe in, and its ok to express their opinion...

Answer 10

1. Guys
2. Guys.
3. Guys

Now that wouldnt be so great would it?
