Medias Influence.

Why does every girl want to be a size 0? Why do all guys want a 6 or an 8 pack? This is because in todays generation, one thing that almost every household has is a television. On television, all you get to see is skinny girls getting attention from the good looking guys, and the well built guys getting all the pretty girls. Is this how society should function? Are looks the only thing that attract a person? Why have looks become so important that people go the extra mile to try and look like the people on tv?

Is it really worth it to starve yourself to be as skinny as that girl getting married to the man of your dreams? Or is it worth it to O.D. on vitamin pills and fake products that build muscles, just so you can be "hot" and get every girl? This is what today's society has come to and its only the media and hollywood movies and tv shows to blame! Why is it that in Hollywood movies the fat girl is always made fun of, for eating so much? Or the skinny guy is mocked? Thanks to the media, the society has become vain.

This goes for every one. Why do I wake up and lose 1 hour of sleep, just so I can straighten my hair in the morning and put on make up? I'm not saying that all us should step out of the house unkempt, but wouldnt my hair in a pony-tail, jeans, tshirt and no make up make me feel the same way I do when I have my hair straightened, make up on, cute clothes and nice accessories. Why do I feel that I need to go to the gym and lose weight so I can look good. Why cant I go to the gym just simply to be healthy.

In today's society, health has become secondary. It's nice to eat healthy and work out so you can be in good health conditions, but should it be so you can be skinny, or for a guy well built. Media has poisoned peopls mind to beleive that being tall and well built is the RIGHT way to be.
