Are you thin enough?

Believe it or not, but our society today has portrayed females as beautiful or something close to perfection. What defines a girl to be pretty or skinny? Where's the limit on all of this? Our media has took regular looking models and have edited their photos to make them look anything but perfect. Half the models you see on billboards, commercials, and magazines don't exist. And because the media has such a big influence on teens, many girls that grow up seeing these campaigns believe that they have to copy these nonexistent models. As little as 4th grade boys have learned what the word 'pretty' means. Girls not only have to have great personalities but their appearance means more than how they act. This leads many females thinking their not good enough because of how our media has constructed our society. On top of it all, girls now are obsessed with their weight. Many disorders have formed because of the cravings to be thin. It doesn't help that our media advertises all types of different pills and diets for all overweight individuals or even those that are at a normal weight. It makes women/girls doubt their appearance and even more targets those who aren't confidence in their own skin. I don't agree with our media because it has an increasing affect on us and we may not even be aware of it. Girls shouldn't be judged by the way they look, because in the end it's not fair in any way, shape, or form.
