Girls want to look like this. BUT WHY????!!!!


Something YOU Should Know

Many girls worry about their physical appearence. They worry that they're not what society wants them to look like. About 89% of girls think about their wieght all the time. I am a 16 year old girl. I know I am one of the 89% that is costantly thinking about my weight. I have done some research and the majority of teenage boys, look at only the girls physical image and expect them to look like some of the models on the magazines. Someone once said that "It doesn't matter what you look like from the outside , but what you look like from the inside!!" Yeah right! If it was like that then why must we feel so bad when we don't look like one of the supermodles. I was watching Oprah one day and Jenny McCarthy was on there. She said that all of the pictures that were taken of her were fixed up by computers. That made me feel better to know that those pictures on the magazines aren't real. So whenever you hear a girl talk about her weight and say she wants to look like the MODELS, tell them not to stress because they aren't real!!!!!!
