Because the media and fashion houses shows that to be beautiful you have to be real slim. Though off course some actions have been taken to ban extremely skinny girls from catwalk but the image has somehow stuck in their teenage brain that slim is beautiful. This has led to many of them doing harmful things to themselves like starving, self induce vomitting after eating etc which I think its real sad. This has in turn led many to being anorexia whih eventually could led to death if they are not being treated (as hospital perhaps).

It is because in this day and world.. you have to be skinny to look good or you arent very well excepted.. Look at all of the celebrities... Anegelin Jolie is at 98 pounds right now.. and her vains are poking out of her skin.. it is a constant battle to see who can be the skinniest and it is sickening and all of is girls, especially young girls see this and think they have to be this way... plus guys wont really talk to a girl or give them a chance if they are a little chubby.. and girls make fun of girls with a little chub ... what happened to the world today? It is sickening.. and I am sure it will only get worse.. People should judge people for who they are and not what they look like..

Well, some of the girls have a disease called anorexia, I'm sure you've heard of it. It means 'loss of appitite or inability to eat'. Meaning, some girls, yes, are jealous of 'skinny' girls, some thinks it makes them look prettier, but some DO have the disease, and they can't do much about it. Some people respect that, others don't. Hope this helped, and don't judge those girls too harshly. They just want to be accepted, and they don't know (or can't change) that it's hurtful to their minds and bodies.

Because it is now considered to be Illegal for anyone to be over weight or ugly in our society.Look at the T.V. or read the news..Society is creating the assumption that you are worthless if you are not perfect.Meaning pretty and thin.They made you an outlaw if you smoked now its about weight and looks.Better be careful--our government is heading towards the belief that Hitler had about creating a superior society through genetics.It's only a matter of time.

okay here goes
1. TV and magazines advertise girls that are abnormally skinny and that's what we as females see as role models and some models/ actresses think its okay to be that kind of role model... Although they'll be dead soon enough from it and we'll be better off... I can't say that makes me sad
2. Mental illness - Body Dimorphic Disorder
3. Low Self Esteem
4. Some girls because are stupid enough to think its cool and guys like that .. No guy I know wants a girl that skinny

Pretty much both of the ones you said. My friends joke that I am anerxic because I am 20 and wear a size 00 and I weigh like a tad less than 100 pounds.

They become self conscious and try to lose weight - at first 1 - 3 pounds then they become obsessed with losing weight and it actually turns into a disorder - dropping 10 - 40+ pounds. And for what? Nothing. Well, putting yourself in huge danger and looking like a sick twig.

INSECURITY! It evolved from a defining moment it time. Could have been something as simple as a girlfriend fitting into a pair of pants she could not or someone told her she was chubby or she overheard something negative about her physique. It is very hard for a girl to point out a single reason and it is psychological..........and very sad :(

They are convinced that by starving themselves they get control over their life, it is something they can control, unlike you can't control the stress in your life for example. Some do it because they are convinced that it will make them more attractive and that by being so skinny will make them popular or accepted. That's my theory
