Body image is how people look -- right? No! Body image is how people relate to their body and how they feel inside. It is something that regularly changes as it is based more on feeling rather than fact. According to Dr. Debby Burgard, body image is not a picture or something that people are supposed to improve if they want to feel better; it is a relationship with their home, their sactuary and themselves (Burgard). However, this is definitely different from what our culture and the media has a big role of it. The media influences body image. It is a fact that most of the women have problems with their body and they complain that they cannot look like models. In fact, models spend plenty of time of their days engaged in activities to be fit. Also, they are modified by photoshop programs and it shows that they do not even look like their fashion photographs (Adam). But, most of the women do not realize that so, they feel unhappy about their own natural body shapes. Education, peer pressure, family history, and ethnic, cultural and social status also play huge roles about how people feel and also how they look. According to the National Eating Disorders Association, 42 percent of first- to third-grade girls want to lose weight, and 81 percent of 10-year-olds are afraid of being fat. According to a study in Pediatrics, about two-thirds of girls in the 5th to 12th grades said that magazine images influence their vision of an ideal body, and about half of the girls said the images made them want to lose weight. By adolescence, studies show that young people are receiving an estimated 5,260 “attractiveness messages” per year from network television commercials alone. According to Teen magazine, 35 percent of girls ages 6 to 12 have been on at least one diet, and 50 to 70 percent of normal-weight girls think they are overweight (Ross). Moreover, in Canada, approximately 90 per cent of women and adolescents are not happy because of their body and it leads to really serious health problems such as unhealthy dieting, disordered eating, taking drugs to be thin etc.. As an example, some women try to lose weight by taking drugs and it is definitely harms their health. In old days, a young girl grew up wanting to look like her mother or best friend. Now she wants to look like Angelina Jolie. However, she does not realize that her body is its own nature and it harms her psychologically. She feels terrible and she always compare herself with people that she likes. In conclusion, it is important to remember that women in magazines do not actually reflect the image of ideal women. Women in general should start accepting their body sizes instead of trying to become one of the models in magazines.
