Too Young and Too Skinny

The models we have seen over the past few years represent the same image for what is presented as the perfect woman by the media.They persuade girls to believe that looking younger and skinnier means looking better. We see models younger by the day we saw 14 year old  models followed by 12 year old models and the most recent is the Vogue 10 year old model Thylane Blondeau who was in provocative pictures with full make-up. If ten year old girls were to see her as their role model then where are we going next? We have already seen a high percentage of eating disorders for women below the age of twenty. Also Studies show that  when young girls are asked what their future ambitions are they would point out models not teachers or scientist.I do not think the media is pursuing the girls to what should be a women's perfect picture.

  1. Good point. I thought there was a law against young girls working in the industry. But I guess not. So if they bring in the children does that mean that they won't need the adult models to look like children anymore?
