19th October 2010 -

I realised that I am actually doing English literature at A level, and yet I never write on my blog anymore! What has gotten into me!? Well, for my English coursework, I have decided to write a piece on size 0 and what sort of effect that has on teenagers and even older women. I really can't wait to start doing it, I really want to start doing it now, but I tend to rush into things and my teacher hasn't as yet told us to start writing it, and I want it to be a good piece for my portfolio, so I'm being a good girl and spending my time doing research instead. But my god! I never realised how much of an effect weight and image is nowa' days. I went to my local corner shop to buy some magazines for the research, and on the magazine rack, they didn't have a wide selection of magazines, but they did happen to have about five different magazines on how to lose weight; I have to say, I felt disgusted. what sort of a message does that send to the young girls, and even boys who are out there. As a 16 year old girl, I have to say, I have had to battle a lot of issues with weight, and being told or picked on that your fat doesn't help either, but it also doesn't help having pictures of stick thin celebrities plastered all over magazines, televisions and Internet pages, as this clearly gives people the impression that you have to look like you've just stepped off a runway. You have to have a porcelain face like a china doll, wear clothes that cost a fortune, are perfectly intact and in style, and not have a hair out of place. Which I do not agree with one bit; honestly? there's no wonder the anorexia and bulimia percentage has increased as the years have passed. If there was a stick insect celebrity here right know, you know what I'd say? Shove a doughnut in your chops love :)
