Being too skinny to fit in is not worth it

"Skinny models" or should I say "size zero models", well none of these sounds good but this group of people especially girls (teenagers) are likely to be found in the fashion industries and are much more preferred than curvy girls. I have been wondering why these so called fashion industry prefer teeny tiny models to flaunt their clothes instead of seeking for women or girls that are endowed with beautiful curves. When you look at most of these skinny girls you feel like shedding tears because they look  painfully thin.

The truth is that curvy girls are much more attractive and sexier than sick looking girls. Pardon me if am beginning to annoy some people but this is a fact. Although some people claim they are naturally skinny but to what extent. One thing is to be skinny another thing is to look painfully skinny in the sense that all your collar bones, knee caps, etc, are all bulging out. If a modeling agency can tell a size 12 girl to lose a stone or two in order too become a model then there must be a problem somewhere.

These days girls tend to starve themselves in order to attain a skeletal frame just because they want to fulfill their dreams of becoming a model. They end up developing eating disorder by suppressing their hunger pangs or even binge eat. The question now is, is it worth killing yourself over becoming a magazine model. They fail to realise that all these images they see in magazines, newspapers, Billboards are air brushed to make models appear really skinny and sexy.

It is a pity that young girls who are meant to develop gracefully with curves go through the pain to look thin in order to look like their idols, what is wrong with accepting your body the way it is, I think the problem is that there is massive pressure to look extremely slim especially in the fashion industry before you can model any of their clothes and this encourages anorexia in teenagers.

Katie Green who fronts the "say No To Size Zero" campaign has said that there are 1.1 million eating disorders in the U.K alone then I wonder what the figure will look like in the next 10 or 20 years to come.

I only hope and pray that campaigners calling to an end to size zero models will succeed and parents should at least try and monitor their children's eating habits. No body wants to lose a child to anorexia so it is better to act now before it is too late and to teenagers aspiring to become models, please eat whatever you want to eat but in a small quantity and reasonably and stop starving yourselves all in the name of becoming a model, remember that if one door closes, another door will surely open for you one day.
