Ht. 5ft. 4", Wt. 177 - I'm so P.O.ed with the American media right now!! AL they seem to show in magazines and on TV are super-lean, super-thin, or super muscular and flat women! you hardly ever see gals with a larger bone structor or curvier hips! it's reall hurtung a lotta girls self-esteem, and even more so now cause guys are starting to get the message that girl should ave size 2 waists and evn if a girl is smart and pretty and funny they won't go after her cuase she has alittle bit more flab! sorry but what idiots keep printing these type of articles in ten magazines offer support and then discriminate against their models??? I'm sorry but I am just SO ANNOYED!

Reply from someone, Age 16 - 04/06/06 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx Amen sister! I agree, but the media sucks and they always will. They are bad influences on us and i dont know about you, but they always make me feel very bad and disgusting cuz i dont have the "perfect body," I try to ignore it, it about all we can do, unfortunatly.

Reply from Whitney, Age 16 - 04/06/06 - IP#: 207.28.62.xxx Hell I totally agree with u and when I was younger my absolute dream was to be stick insect skinny, I mean honestly who didn't? But yea I mean theres not a lot we can do (besides barf) and just being happy in our own skin. Like me my hips are huge, no matter what diet exercise nething I do my bones will not get any smaller and honestly I love my curves now I just wanna change my thighs and how my my butt sticks out! LoL! But yea I think we should be on a mission to tell little girls its ok to look like a woman!
