Bad Body Image is a serious problem in American society. Women and teenage girls are increasingly dissatisfied with their bodies. Images shown on TV and in magazines and elsewhere cause women to feel inferior. They show models with so called “perfect” bodies that are unrealistic. Girls can develop low-self esteem which can cause depression, eating disorders, and other unhealthy habits. I think they should put thicker/medium sized women on TV and in commercials. Thick girls should be proud of what they have and feel gorgeous in this world. Every girl should walk and talk with their head held high.
