Hey everybody, it's so nice to see you guys taking interest in this. Due to computer difficulties, I will unfortunately not be able to start this group as planned. If someone could take over and start this group that would be so awesome! I'm really sorry, I'm still working out these computer glitches. <3 Meg. |

Hey all. Again. SORRY TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS...BUTTTTT... I THINK WHAT ALL THIS COMES DOWN TO IS THAT EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS AND VIEWS ON THE MEDIA. I THINK THAT FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE REAL PEOPLE AND THE OVER WEIGHT ARE REAL PEOPLE AND THE UNDER WEIGHT ARE REAL PEOPLE AND THE PERFECT WEIGHTS ARE REAL PEOPLE TOO. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN BODY ISSUES (WHETHER THEY THINK THEY'RE TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL). THIS THREAD HAS BECOME SO HEATED AND INTERESTING. FULL OF GOOD THOUGHTOUT POINTS AND JUST A FEW IGNORANT REMARKS. "Why so serious?" Although the media has a HUGE influence on millions of people, in the end it can't actually control you or what you choose to do with yourself. Your emotions are hurt, they are helped, then it's just a rollar coaster from there.. |

TO: mla931 Sorry to get a bit off topic :) Although I am currently trying to lose weight, I am ever so happy with my curves!!! I wear a 38C size on my chest and a size 9 or 11 size on my hips, and I love that. I am trying to lose the belly, thigh, and arm fat; but I don't want to be stick thin. I'm still happy with how I look, and my supportive boyfriend loves how I look as well. Like you said, Happiness does not come with being thin. :) <3Meg. |

i think that my main problem is with all these stupid fads. and i really don't like seeing young girls, who are weighing in at 100 pounds at height 5'5, feel bad about the way they look just because there is a new way that everyone is supposed to look. i used to be bulimic because i couldn't stand being 5'3 at 125, can you believe that? i kept seeing images over images of these super skinny celebrities and thought i had to be lean and tall to be "pretty". then I saw all of these popular girls at my high school and thought that i had to look skinny like them, my problem was that i had curves, i have curves. and i hated them, i thought it meant i was fat. now i'm 160, i was introduced to meat by my loving boyfriend of 3 years who wanted me to be healthy, and i'm trying to get back to a healthy weight. well now that you know my life story i think that the way that we think is pretty much the same, with a few tweaks. and i think that's just how it is, we're humans, we have our own version of everything, media can't control that. life is good, over all, and that's a good point, i don't feel right about complaining about that either. |

you're right, the media cannot be solely blamed for influencing peoples' opinions, I think that the people around us are as big of an influence as the media. like you, my desire to become "thin" came mostly from looking at the people around me, my friends, enemies, acquintances, etc.. but the media does put the pressure on, you hear everyone talking about how "hot, cute, pretty" all these popular people are and it makes you feel as if you have to look like them to be considered that way as well. although the media does not tell me what I like, i still believe that todays society (atleast the younger of us) are very affected by what the media portrays. todays society, in my opinion, is getting to a very ugly place. |

okay, so literally the people who are in the media are real people. and literally the people in the media are doing there job. the media itself is what is screwed up. & although we don't agree on this I still like how you think. |

The media is not "real people". The media are people who want the world to view what they are as what real life is. How real is The Real World? The media wants to suck people in (target age group: adolescents), so that they can control their mindsets and make more money off of them (us).

I think "brainwashed" is a good term. The media sucks these days and it really hurts people, especially the young one's who are "5'5, 90 pounds and want to lose 10 more." I am 5'3, 160 pounds, it says I should be 124, but honestly I think 135/140 would be just dandy. :) I liked your post, infact, I loved it. Thankyou for this. <3Meg. |
