Do you think there's a lot of pressure to be skinny for girls?!
Question: Do you think there's a lot of pressure to be skinny for girls!?
I think there is a lot of pressure!. I am not happy with my body at all!. I am an average weight though!. I see myself as very fat!. Everytime I see a skinny celebrity, It makes me feel bad about myself and that I have to be skinnier for guys and people to like me!. I have been on a lot of diets and ive even starved myself for about 4 days!. Also, my 2 good friends are both really skinny which doesn't help because everytime I see them, I feel like I have to look like that and that if your skinnier your much happier!. I feel like im under a lot of pressure and that people are judging me on my body!. I have felt like this for about 3 years and its making life so much harder for me!. I just wish I was skinny or that everyone was the same weight!. So does anyone else feel the way I do or agree that there is a lot of pressure to be skinny!? thanksWww@Answer-Health@Com

I've never felt pressure from the media to be thin!. My eating disorder didn't start because of the media, which is what most people think causes EDs!. It started because of sports and stupid high school rules!. If you were one pound over the recommended weight for your pole you had to find another pole vault pole to jump on!. It was ridiculous!. It only got worse when I became depressed!. But yeah I think that for some girls it sends the wrong message!. Cellulite is bad, having curves is bad!. Being a natural woman is bad!. You have to be a stick figure with big boobs to be liked by the general male population!. Girls constantly asking on here if boys only like girls with big boobs or that they need a boob job because they are "flat"!. Bleh!. Sad sad sad!. If a people only like you because you are skinny, then they aren't good people to begin with!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I can definitely say just from what I see on this site, yes, there is too much pressure on girls!. Diet and Fitness section has the same questions all the time from girls your age wanting to be thin fast; what will I wear!?!?
Kids these days put way too much emphasis on looks and weight issues!. You can't compare yourself to anyone else!. you are an individual!. It would be no fun if everyone was the same!. Go easy on yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please shut up, you are 15 years old; you know nothing about being judged!. And btw guys are judged just as much as girls, like what girls are going to want to go out with the fat guy, none!. And don't try and say, I would get to know him!. You know perfectly well you wouldn't!.
Being judged is a way of life, get over it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am 40, and have never been overweight a day in my life!.!.!.however there IS a huge amount of pressure on women in every aspect of our lives!. I'm very unhappy with our society, because women have to be a size 1, if their hair gets gray, they have to dye it, if they aren't beautiful then there is make-up!. If they don't do these things, they are "letting themselves go"!. NOW!.!.!.if men put on weight!.!.!.!.it's okay w/in reason!. If a man gets gray hair, he looks distinguished, and when a man gets older he is more respected!. Our society is HORRIBLE to women, and always have been!. Don't let it get to you!. Start now, and be happy with who you are, and what you look like!. I still have difficulty with this, so I understand, but until women stop doing what is expected of us by society!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.we are going to continue to have young women with eating ds, and young ladies horribly low self-esteem!. You are not alone!.!.!.!.!.!.be healthy, and happy with who and what you are!. BTW, it only gets worse!. When you have kids, if they don't look decent going to school!.!.!.it's always the Mom's fault!. If your house is a mess!.!.then you are a terrible wife, and/or Mom!.!.!.!.!.!.!.We have to learn not to listen to society!. Lets all just be good, healthy happy people!.!.!.and to heck with all those judges out there who think they look or act better then us!. They are usually pretty superficial, so they have their own little set of probs!. Take care, and let it all go!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
