as far as we concerned, there are many new coming and beautiful personality of Hollywood celebrities nowadays. many of teenagers are attracted with their body figure which is 'skinny type', and struggling to get the same figure as them and they become an aneroid due to the starvation.

in the recent article which i read in some magazine, it was told that many of the young celebrities make it as a trend to be slim or thin!some of them are proud in their 90pounds of weight.this type of body had became as a master status for them.

same goes with the young generation today, they made the celebrities are the main followers, without think it is good or bad in return. whatever it is, just proud of yourself and dont think by starving yourself, can solve your problems.

Question:
what the purpose of the celebrity to became like this?and who should be blame in this situation??

Choices:
basically, celebrity's world are totally different than normal people.because its already known that celebrity have to look beautiful because they have to be attracting than others.
both party can be blame.because, the celebrity should show their good personality because they they are the main icon.and for the fans,they should compare which are good or bad.

Anybody who wants to look like a celebrity has something going on in their life that makes them have such a warped opinion in body images. Even if they look and think everything is alright, everyone has something they keep hidden from the rest of the world.
One of you pictures is of Nicole Richie, and she is in rehab for substance abuse so she does not really count since her judgment has been clouded.


Yes, I agree. Eating disorders aren't just something where a person wants to look like another person, there is a lot more to it. Usually there is something going wrong with their life and they need control. To get control, they restrict food or purge,etc.


carry on, carry on

Great point. Eating disorders are mental disorders and have to be handled that way.

Celebrities don't cause eating disorders in teenage girls... but I do think they have increased girls unhealthy obsessions with their bodies. Many girls aren't aware of how much time it takes for celebs to make themselves look the way they do. They don't realize that it's unrealistic for them to look that way.
