More than 80 percent of 10-year- old girls are are
afraid of being fat according to the American
Journal of maternal/child nursing. They also
stated that girls’ self esteem drops at age 12 and
does not
increase until 20. These facts are tied to negative
body image. The statistics demonstrate the
feeling by many girls that people will view and
judge them based on their body image.
Girls all over struggle with the pressure to be
perfect. Most girls want to be extremely
skinny because that is what girls think guys
want. All girls are different and that doesn’t
mean they are less pretty. Everywhere girls
go, there is something around them advertising
weight loss: TV ads, weightloss
ads, shakes, diet pills, weight loss apps are
popping up like crazy. The models in the
advertisements don’t help either because they are
too thin and probably Photoshopped. The
pressure for females to have the perfect body is
insane. It lowers a girls self esteem and leads to
eating disorders, depression and other mental
illnesses.
Remember, too much pressure has dangerous
outcomes. Too much pressure can lead a girl to
restrict their food intake and become afraid of
food in fear of gaining weight. This is known as
Anorexia nervosa. It affects 75% of females. Other
girls ‘binge and purge’ which is known as
bulimia. All this comes from the media and home
pressure to have a perfect body.
