my sister , that video was quite touching and saddening, all these anorexia problems have been brought to life by these stars and models (not that its their fault sha), the young generation now think they have to look unhealthily thin to belong, or that they have to do everything possible (that's where anorexia comes in) to look like the girls in the magazines and the models on television. I was so happy when one of the guests (a star) on "ellen's show" went ahead to explain that all these pictures in the mags are not their real selves, a lot of work is done by the camera man to make them look the way they do How i wish all these young girls would understand , very sad |
