At the end of the day its me, myself and I so don't put yourself through torture just to be acepted in a modeling agency, boyfriend and friends. Im only 16 this year and I also went though the same problems of trying to get approval from family and friends because I was fat to them, when actually i wasn't my older sister was smaller and shorter than me, which made me seem fatter and bigger. And everyone at home used to tell me i was fat, till i ended up losing a lot of weight and eat 1 meals a day, i ended up underweight and my teachers saw that i had changed in weight, i felt really bad when i was told i was skinny. I started to realise that i was okay the way i was when i watch Tyra Banks show, she opend my eyes. I realise that in order for me to have a wonderful body i should except myself for who i am, Sijabu. And today i am proud to say that i love myself the way i am, because I am who i want to be, whether im fat or skinny, i would just like to voice t those who are struggling to actually look at what they sees positve not negative of there slef image. Its just all about loving yourself, not waiting for someone else to love you 1st and also waiting for ones approval of how you look. Its your body that you have to put up with everyday of your life NOT them who think your not beautiful. Im not a person who people would say im beautiful but deep inside i know im beautiful whether they like my exterior or not i dont give a damn because its NOT there body but mine which i have lived with for 16 years and is still operating well even though it ain't the best in the world but its the best to me and GOD! So love yourself 1st before other can even love you! Positveness can get far... Love you all! :) I don’t understand why do people listen to what people think about them because what people think about you should not matter the most but only what you think of yourself, you have to learn to love yourself the way you are because if you don’t then you end up having a low self-esteem of yourself which leads you to starving yourself, trying to get attention from men in order to make yourself to feel better about your self image.

Since I've been very skinny myself when I was younger, I know what HELL it is to be skinny, so I don't find this a bit attractive at all. This trend we have is really dangerous. I do hope it will change soon.... *sigh* <font color="red">BSC: Me too, Lifecruiser! I started to take it down when I found out they had been altered, but I decided to leave them because the original photos were not that much better.

BUT this is something I might consider a good thing. These models are role models for our young girls. There are web sites out there, blogs, owned by 10, 11 and 12 yr olds sharing these images and instructions on how to get this look... How to vomit after eating; how much to eat, how much NOT to drink (water)...it's sad. One of the skinny models here is considered FAT too by many of the hundreds of girls who flock to this particular site. There's nothing wrong with a size 6. These models are size -6.

How horrible - debunked photos or not - they are awful. Anorexia is a horrible disease and has killed many women and young girls. Debunked or not these are terrible images for our youth to see and what a horrible example of just how depraved our society has become. Thanks for this post Beth. Oh dear God!
