XXXX, “Body Image

What is so unfortunate is that girls are getting pressure from all sides. The media wants them flawless and skinny, their boyfriends want a large chest, perhaps, maybe curves…the problem is that for girls who aren’t stick skinny, and don’t have curves and a size 36C chest, they feel as though they aren’t measuring up to any standards. It’s awful and ads that are ‘fixed’ in Photoshop aren’t helping.
