Beauty and Image.

What is most important to people in this world? Well, according to the public and the media the most imporant thing is beauty and your image. That is really depressing when you think about it. Babies are born, they are forced to grow, they are told all their lives they need to be themselves and accept others, and then most of the world treats them like a disease for being different. When a child becomes a teenager, they are tired of the drama, tired of being criticized, and they crack under peer pressure. That is why most teens turn to drugs, alcohol, and end up having eating disorders. We keep trying to figure out what causes eating disorders and why the people who have them are obsessed with how they look? The problem is that you are telling them they will never be good enough, that they are not perfect, and they have to fit this image and not be themselves.

If you think girls with eating disorders are 'disgusting' and 'gross', why don't you stop judging them? You need to accept them for who they are and not be a snob. Parents need to not put their kids in stressful situations and the teenagers at school need to grow up and act like they have some sense. Drama, stress, and criticism creates eating disorders. Sometimes, we think we are not pretty and will never be anything because of what we see in the magazine. We then tend to blame the person in the magazine. If you think about it, the person in the magazine is not the one to blame. It is the public, the media, and the regular people you see day to day that want their friends, celebrities, and everyone else to be just like them and be the person they want them to be.

Is beauty really irrelevant?
