"In practice the ideal image transmitted by media is in fact overly distorted."

I've read this sentence in Katie’s blog (http://drawlife-katie.blogspot.com/), and it has really drawn my attention, because I perfectly agree with her. When I turn the TV on, nothing else can be seen, but beautiful, charming ladies with fancy dresses, who are happily smiling into the camera, if only just this could be the normal standard.

This is really surprising, because in fact, these ladies may feel themselves exactly different. They have to go on strict and cruel diets in order to preserve their good-looking body, and this is what hard to be noticed for an inexperienced teenager. If you ask children who they idolize or who their role models are, they will most likely answer with their favorite skinny models and actress. Why is society allowing this to continue? This isn't healthy.

The result of this bad influence is, that more and more young girl would like to be extraordinarily thin, and in the worst cases they ends up in the hospital with anorexia or bulimia. I think that health is more important than following the latest trends and the media should take this under consideration too, before they broadcast programs with wispy girls.
