Media has always been an influence on people....always. Why do you think so many people want to be famous...or not be famous?
Eight years ago, I taught 3rd grade. It was when Britney Spears was HUGE...like I'm not legal yet huge. My girls and boys were in love with her. Ugh, what a horrid year. Anyway, I had 2 girls who would hide their lunch and lie about eating. They thought they were fat. I had to sit with them at lunch to make them eat. And to eat with them, since I'm skinny myself. They thought that skinny meant no eating or diet pills. In fact one of the girls had gone on-line and bought diet pllls. The parents were very concerned.
I'm not as powerful as Britney Spears...I don't know if I made an impact on their healthy eating habits and weight maintenance. I'd like to think I did, but I'm not larger than life like celebrities are. Can't save them all...
Which also brings me to the point that women/girls are far more vulnerable than men/boys. Boys go around wanting to shoot spiderwebs out of their wrists. Girls develop eating disorders. Our poor, poor society.
