"You can never be too thin!" That's what the media says! In the media women are always being showed as super thin. They get the best clothes and are usually A list celebrities. Women that are watching TV or reading a magazine strive to look like them. In my picture it's showing a thin, young girl that thinks she's fat because her dress does not fit. But really she just needs a bigger size. She is surrounded by the media even in her bedroom. For example, the shopping bags and the posters on her walls. In the picture, I'm trying to show that people should be happy with their body and should wear clothes that fit them. Girls now a day are dieting at a younger age because they are not confident with their body image. I think the media should give a more realistic image to women so that young girls don't have to grow up having a bad body image.

This photo is so true, I like how the girl in the picture is pretty thin, and she shouldn’t be thinking about losing anymore weight. Today’s media is making girls want to lose more and more weight, and be skin and bones, which is gross. I’m to this day still self-conscious about my body, and I like to work out but I do it to stay in shape to be fix, I also figure skate and I have to have the power and stamina to skate. I like this photo how the girl is looking in the mirror and trying to put the clothes on, it reminds me of tv shows and how models and actress are always trying to fix into clothes smaller than what they are. You should be proud of your body, and not let media change the way you look or feel.
This picture is so real. It captures the way girls view themselves, and how much they care about the size number on your clothing. When maybe all you really need is a bigger size. In this picture the girl is obviously petite and really skinny, and maybe the dress just isn't the right size for her. I like how she's trying to make it fit, because you see this scene all the time on tv shows and movies where the girl tries to fit in something that isnt her size. Because of this, girls are trying to imitate that scene. For example, this girl is struggling with her zipper which means maybe she shouldn't wear that dress. It's crazy what some girls will do just so they don't have to buy a bigger size. Blame it on the media.
This picture captures the true emotions of many girls these days. The media is corrupting our female youth all throughout the world. Girls are meant to feel self-conscious no matter how “attractive” or “thin” they are. There always seems to be some flaw and they can never seem to achieve perfection. The expression on the girl’s face is typical of that of most girls her age when trying on clothing. The girl is trying on a dress that is obviously too small for her. But instead of just giving up on it, she tries desperately to make it work. The background of the picture definitely portrays the images of beauty and slender builds. The picture of a half-naked woman covering her breasts is definitely making a statement. Magazines and movies portray beautiful young ladies who appear to be nothing but “skin and bones.” In the real world not everyone has a perfect build or wears a size zero. One should be able to feel good about themselves by merely being themselves and being comfortable with their flaws. This should be the best way to achieve true harmony and self-esteem. It is ludicrous and somewhat shallow for anyone to expect themselves to have the perfect build. There are far more important things to worry about in the imperfect world we live in!
I agree with what this image portrays about young women and their appearance. Even at a young age, women have been taught to look a certain way. The postures in the back round reveal how women feel they need to have and maintain the “perfect” body image to be successful and beautiful. The media tells us that we must look this way and the women in the picture looks as if she’s struggle to fit into the “perfect” body image. It’s clear that she is thin yet she may feel as if she doesn’t fit into this idea of the “perfect” body image. The Abercrombie and Finch bags next to the girl could demonstrate that need to be in style to fit into social situations as well as to maintain the “perfect” body image. The young woman’s facial expression shows that she is frustrated that the dress does not fit. This could represent that all women are under constant pressure to have the “perfect” body and it can be frustrating because even if they are thin and beautiful they fail to see themselves that way and continue to strive for the fail image of beauty.
By looking at this photo it appears the girl seems to be upset because the dress doesn't seem to be fitting and she probably thinks she has gained weight and thats why it doesn't fit. She is surrounded by pictures and posters showing thin figures. She appears to be consumed in this phase.
I love this picture. It's true that media should just promote loving your body and to buy things that fit you instead of making yourself fit into the clothes just because you don't like the number on them. So what if you wear a size 10 in jeans. If they fit properly they will look better on you then a size 8. The media truly focuses way to much on being thin. You always see on like people magazing "How she lost 20 in 10 days!" trying to advertise you to do it too. This picture is well done because I saw the red shoes on the floor and it automatcially made me think she had them on and then kicked them off angrily when her dress didnt fit.
