The controversy over Barbie Dolls has inspired the creation of a video graphic novel that tells the story of a Doll that is persecuted and marked for destruction for being a ”bad influence” on the girl that owns her because of her appearance and the “message” that she sends. The story is told from the point of view of the Doll. If you are interested in this issue I think you might want to check it out. You can watch it for Free at this website toyboxbitch
My best friend has anorexia, she's going vegetarian, but there's nothing fat about her. The only time i called her fat was when we had a really bad argument and i knew it would get to her, but now we're still going strong as besties.! I always tell her "You're not fat, you're anything BUT fat." But she still thinks she is. She is my sister practically and i will always love her (as a bff ), but she needs to see the reality. She's not fat, she looks great the way she is.
@Missbeautyqueen101 Me too, I wish there was more healthy people, and I wish these videos would quit making these toxic videos, that are encouraging eating disorders
Great you raise awareness... but honey, no journalist is better than her source - and those images where grocely fotoshopped. The truth is ugly enough as it is, don't make the real thing look less real
there are 2 types of americians, the sickly anorexic ones with bulimia that weigh only 45lbs. even though they are grown, and the morbidly obese people that weigh 400lbs. when they are grown. I'm not saying americians are bad, because I'M AMERICIAN but that's usually what the US is made up of.
@Missbeautyqueen101 I hate how you label the two types of americans anorexic and obese, There isnt such thing, there are millions of people that are at a normal healthy weight. Stop labeling, and that is not what America is made up of
@elibeth121 There ARE lots of healthy weight ppl. I just didn't mention them because after looking at this video, dang! So many unhealthy ppl in this world, i wish everyone could live their lives without eating disorders or stuff like that.
@ilovehorses2255 me too....but I'm keeping it a secret, and the worst part is that people ask me if I'm on a diet (and I say yes) they tell me to keep working on it because its working....
You know, the problem of obesity is that they eat too much. No amount of exercise can burn that. They eat too much because they are addicted to the feeling very full. So, substituting fatty foods to healthier foods is not really addressing the problem if they are still addicted to the same thing
Your photos are photoshopped to go against anorexia and some of your statistics are completely false. Your video is just random facts you picked up and pictures you don't know anything about. Why don't you learn something and get real photos before you post a new one?
yea We need less fat people more thin people especailly Hispanic cultures they think that the more fatter you get the more hot you are that is just wrong :((
this is very informative, but it barely scratched the surface. an obsession w/ food n weight is only a symptom, not the illness itself. eds go waaayyy further than just weight. by the way anorexia and bulimia arent the only two. theres also ednos, orthorexia, compulsive overeating, ...
well it's all very textbook, very surface-anorexia. It's easy to say we don't eat because of barbies and the media and because we think we're fat. Just becuse it's doesn't mean it's right
I have an eating disorder, i've got anorexia nervosa, i started starving myself cos i was waaaay to selfconsious, but after that, i got severly depressed, and wanted to die, it's what it does to you...but i can't help, it we're not being over dramatic, we CANT stop...
I put it together in 30 minutes for a presentation, I know that some of the photos are photoshopped :) It was more of a 'i need to get something turned in' than a, let me make something quality" I didn't know that anyone was going to watch this video other than my class ..
I acctually eel sick looking at that picture, and this video is acctually really good. I wish that girls would stop trying to make themselfs look like this! They don't realise what they are doing to themsels!!
actually we do realize what we are doing to ourselves, but we cant stop. It's a disease, would you tell someone cancer "you dont realize what this cancer is doing to your body" we cant help it. trust me if we could stop....we would!
maybe, but we don't know her name. She is not kate moss, she is not gisele, c'mon! this is not "what" is she but "who" is she. Nobodys know who is she
the trouble is, when you reach your goal, you may think you'll be able to stop...but what happens is you'll convince yourself you haven't lost enough (even though obviously you have) but you'll still continue...it is how anorexia starts. i know.
anorexia is less about weight loss and more about control. most sufferers are looking for a way to take control of their own life and their food intake is the easiest thing to control.
actually you should have been mre specific, first of all "anorexia" is NOT the same as "anorexia nervosa" they commonly get confused as the same thing but they are not. and "bulimia" is actually named "bulimia nervosa"
i don t understand one thing..i mean u can get skinny by going 2 the gym and eating well...i mean u will get a perfect body with sport and healthy food...not with stop eating and feel tired the whole time
I have a neighbor, we are not close enough I feel to broach how hurtful it feels to see how thin she is, and how or can I help? She is not one to 'bandy words' so I could speak out if I knew what to say?
Also there should be some kind of regulation banning the use of air brushing in media photography, Its time the government started dealing with real issues and took care of our minions. Thats what 'nanny state' should mean. Instead we have big brother!
'If you or someone you know has an eating disorder get them help' wat about if we dont want 'help' i jsu wanna be skinny and pretty and actually the mirror is wat drives me on pics of skinny girls just make me think wow i wish i could be lik her thats all, the mirror hurts more than starving does and if models can look like barbie then i can too, its just a case of do you have enough will power, thats all.
No, because they are born with that certain type of body,
just like a small person can't be tall not everyone can be thin, and that's ok because if everybody with be the same the world would be kind of boring.
You hate yourself then, learn how to love your body, don't disturb yourelf with images of skinny women,'cause the fact they look that great is because of photoshop, so wake up!
alot of people look at pics of skinny models which have been edited! its horrendous and should stop and if it is stopped it will help victims of a eating disorder
Holy crap, please do not do that. Take it from me. When I was twelve years old I did that. I was so thin and ill from what I did to myself I landed in the hospital with a heart rate of 30 bpm which is super close to death. You don't want to die of this disease. Dont let it take over your life like it did mine. I never got to experience my childhood because of that. I had to be homeschooled because I was too weak to go to school. Im better now after much help but it is not worth dying over.
okay all you people are missing the point...it doesnt matter if they are photoshopped or not. The point is that the image of anorexia is pushed out there by the media you could have taken a picture of a 300lb girl photoshopped it so she looks 60 but the media STILL portrays anorexia. So stop complaining about photoshop and absorb the actual message
This is a really good presentation BUT i think i should let you know what there are several pictures in your slide show that have been photo shopped. some of those girls in the pictures are of a very normal weight.
i dont want to sound pro anorexia or anything but a lot of the models shown in this video are not that thin they have been photoshopped to look that way and although the media shows women who are too thin in magazines, tv etc i dont think showing women who have been manipulated to look thinner will help abolish negative gender representation in society
Thats true. I know someone who used to be anorexic and she say one of these pictures and said "Thats really weird, usually they can't stand up, let alone walk down a runway."
There is a limit on how skinny someone CAN get. See the pads on your feet are made of fat cells and make walking bearable. Theres a point when someone becomes so skinny the body goes for any source of nurtrients and takes the fat from the feet.
When that happens it becomes increadable painful to even stand.
This is Steven McLachlan's new single "Winner takes it all/Show me heaven" with all profit to the eating disorder charity BEAT. on channel: stevenmclachlan .
It's nice to know that Italy has impossed a limit on how thin fashion models can be -- personally, I think the limit is still way too low, but, it's a start, at least! Considering the effects it's having on people, worldwide, I think it's criminal that the fashion industry is allowed to promote walking (or stomping!) skeletons as fashionable. Shame on them!
uhhh that was sick, i can honestly say no one should everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr be that skinny it's like a skeleton with their bones painted like skin, and the fashion industry well you bastards deserve a ass kicking of a lifetime
its not good to bee that thin you need to bee normal size these womens are idiots slots bitchs in this video that dont know what is the mean of the life well i guess they are dead already -_- normal women are beatuifel not that fucking thin omg!!!
I have recently created a pro-recovery forum for people suffering/recovering from an eating disorder. If you would like the url for the forum feel free to message me as Youtube won't let me post links on here.
look everyone who says eds are stupid obviously doesn't udnerstand. Often, we don't choose this. I would give ANYTHING to be normal. But I don't have control over my bulimia; it has control over me. You have no idea what's like waking up and knwoing your not going to be able to eat without throwing up. This is only a small part of our hell.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
anorexia is so.fucking.stupid.
there are starving CHILDREN who would DIE for the food these bitches take fucking for granted. i cant believe how low people are sinking. GO TO FUCKING HELL, ANOREXIC CUNTS.
you do have a good point, although i wouldnt put it quite like that. I know what your on about though when you say we take food for granted and some people don't even want it when there are kids in some parts of the world that need food so badly but are to poor. And i think i read somewhere that the model at 1:41 died of anorexia in the end.
Please for your own sake, keep your comments like that to yourself. We, (Anorexic cunts) tend to be a little mean. Its not that we take food for granted. I would rather my food went to starving children instead of me. We are sick and cannot stop.
THERE ARE SO MAY PEOPLE THAT HAVE A SERIOUS ILLNESS,AND WOULD GIVE THE SOULS TO HAVE YOUR HEALTH,THAT YOU SQUANDER AWAY...PLEASE,DO NOT DO THIS TO YOURSELF...ANOREXIA,IS UGLY !EVERYBODY LOVES A CHUBBY PERSON
Yes everybody plz f*kkin eat. Its so unfortunate that most women surveyed say that they'd rather be ANOREXIC than OVER-weight. and for those who say its from traumatic events .. its 10% that may be from that but it is mostly from the MEDIA< MAGAZINES AND A MAN TELLING U HOW FAT U ARE. its a mans world afterall isnt it?... well there.
Good start but the media isn't what causes EDs. You develop the illness after some sort of trauma, usually some sort of sexual abuse. Also, don't forget that compulsive overeating is also an ED. The media may be a gateway for anas but twinkies are gateways for compulsive overeaters too.
excuse me but that's not true. I suffer from Anorexia and I have never been sexually abused. Or abused really at all. The media does cause some people to become anorexic or bulimic. Sports such as Ballet (part of how I developed an ED) figure skating, and gymnastics are other ways that people can develop an ED. not just trauma.
only about 20%-40% of all Anorexic victims are from traumatic events. :S
Anorexia is about trying to have contorl intpeople's lives, or starts out with just trying to lose a few pounds. It turns into an obsession over time, and then an addiction.
daaaaaaaaa, you ust said that you didnt like you because your thin and then you say that "be happy the way you are?!!!" you cant say that ifyour not happy
yes I know it sounds a little silly but I wanna say that you don't have to be skinny to be happy, I understood that they think they would be happier if they were skinny but it's not. Being skinny is not something fun. That's why I said be happy whith who you are, cause they won't be happier being thinner or so. It's not that I'm unhappy, I just would like to be a bit thicker so that people would stop thinking I'm anorexic.
the 'one in four college women use unhealthy methods of weight control', really suprises me, I didn't think it would be anywhere near that much, mind you, a young women fits the stereotype of someone vulnerable tho develop an eating disorder, it's such a crying shame, it's like we blinked, and when we opened our eyes again the media's telling us that, there's no such thing as too skinny, get your act together media industry!
OH,ssooooo sad our world.We wnnw money,beauty,fame,"happyness",but that's just one thing:The devil wanna kill us.Please,dont look at the girl and say:she isn't pretty,she is fat.Say:i wanna talk with her and know,what a personality has she.!!!!!!!!!!
Good vid! And this person is right- the best thing you can do for a friend w/ an ED is confront them about it and help them. I developed an ED in 10th grade and thanks to my best friend, overcame it. She forced me to eat lunch and breakfast at school, and actually called my parents to make sure they knew. I hated it at the time, but after therapy got through it and realized why she did that. THATS the mark of a good friend.
I also can ask you the same question, to my mind my statement is clear.
On the one hand to make women know that not all men fancy the "all day in the gym girls / women" and on the other hand to beg people who suffer from anorexia to seek for professional help.
LADIES: Beauty is not measured by how skinny you are! There will never be another you with the life, family, and friends that you have. You are beautiful. Be strong. I believe in you, and I want you to LIVE and love LIVING! Don't ever give up!
curves are sexy, it soo sad because i do ballet and there isa girl hooz only 7 and she has anorexia but she dosent even know what it is she says its because she just dosent like eating
of course most people don't think they are attractive if they are anorexic. the ED is a proof of that, and a lot of other factors that counts too. but the foundation to the ED is often that people think they are thick, and then it evolves into a more and more serious and self-harming sircle. so no, I don't think most anorexic people think they are attractive, because it might seem like the battle to become perfect will never stop...
Im Not Obeesse But Im A Couple Pounds Over Wheght And People Are Making Fun Of Me So I Have Started Starving Myself.I Just Got Sick And Didn't Eat For 5 Days Since I Saw This Video I Am Going To Stop With Starving Myself! (It Worked Starving Myself)
I know what you mean. The media sucks, really. That's why I don't read those magazines hardly ever. Their sending the wrong messages to young girls and women. It's better to be just yourself.
omg that just looks like its a miserable thing to go thru with... and thier arms look like their going to break... i've never seen truth like this... they havent even discussed eating disorders where i go to school at (only once but the girl wasn't as at much of risk as these girls... she wasnt that skinny at all now that i think about it but they said she was anorexic)
I thought this video was very powerful. Some of the images used at the beginning have been altered digitally but the rest is 100% spot on. It is disgusting the way the mass media turns a blind eye to this soul destroying and ultimately death-inducing condition. Women are still oppressed today more than ever - it's just that the gym, diet pills and spending time and money on weight loss have replaced spending time in the kitchen.
hey pretty good video. but you didn't mention the more complex and psychological side of anorexia. it is not as straight-forward as being obsessed with your weight, it can be caused by insecurity, feeling trapped and wanting something to control. people express these feelings thru weight-loss as it is often the only way they know how, some may feel that they would be better off if they did lose weight.
i know what i'm talkin an=bout btw, ive been there.

Yeah. :58 is totally photoshopped. Look at how the runway bulges out near her arms. It's because of the smudge tool used to make her arms look thinner.
although this was an interesting and informative video, i feel that you did not actually argue your case. if this were an essay, your thesis would be that Anorexia exists in the media, and presumably that it is the cause of all the anorexia in young girls. then you would have to defend your claim by providing arguments, and furthermore, evidence. but i feel like i just got a lecture on what anorexia is, but not how the media has spurred it.
This was a very well done assignment! Most vids about ED seem to persecute the people, while this one just states the facts in a non accusatory manner. Great work!
I really think the problem of anorexia is for one part caused by the world we are living in. I mean: if every model, actrice, singer and tvhost would at least be 70 kilo's, no one would want to be skinny. But the other part is that young girls like me are alot of times very insecure and they are looking for something that gives them more convidence... sadly anorexia doesn't
its kinda crazy how skinny the girl at 58 secs is, and what worse is the dress fits perfectly, the designers make the clothes smaller and smaller, so the models feel they have to be smaller too.

Thats true. I know someone who used to be anorexic and she say one of these pictures and said "Thats really weird, usually they can't stand up, let alone walk down a runway."
There is a limit on how skinny someone CAN get. See the pads on your feet are made of fat cells and make walking bearable. Theres a point when someone becomes so skinny the body goes for any source of nurtrients and takes the fat from the feet.
When that happens it becomes increadable painful to even stand.

It's nice to know that Italy has impossed a limit on how thin fashion models can be -- personally, I think the limit is still way too low, but, it's a start, at least! Considering the effects it's having on people, worldwide, I think it's criminal that the fashion industry is allowed to promote walking (or stomping!) skeletons as fashionable. Shame on them!

Yes everybody plz f*kkin eat.

One4theworld 3 years ago
Good start but the media isn't what causes EDs. You develop the illness after some sort of trauma, usually some sort of sexual abuse. Also, don't forget that compulsive overeating is also an ED. The media may be a gateway for anas but twinkies are gateways for compulsive overeaters too.
vickismom97 3 years ago
excuse me but that's not true. I suffer from Anorexia and I have never been sexually abused. Or abused really at all. The media does cause some people to become anorexic or bulimic. Sports such as Ballet (part of how I developed an ED) figure skating, and gymnastics are other ways that people can develop an ED. not just trauma.
anniegoo 3 years ago
only about 20%-40% of all Anorexic victims are from traumatic events. :S
Anorexia is about trying to have contorl intpeople's lives, or starts out with just trying to lose a few pounds. It turns into an obsession over time, and then an addiction.

Good vid! And this person is right- the best thing you can do for a friend w/ an ED is confront them about it and help them. I developed an ED in 10th grade and thanks to my best friend, overcame it. She forced me to eat lunch and breakfast at school, and actually called my parents to make sure they knew. I hated it at the time, but after therapy got through it and realized why she did that. THATS the mark of a good friend.

Would you go out with an anorexic? She would have no tits, bum or hips. do they think they're attractive? because theyre really, reallly not.
rockspike3 3 years ago 2
of course most people don't think they are attractive if they are anorexic. the ED is a proof of that, and a lot of other factors that counts too. but the foundation to the ED is often that people think they are thick, and then it evolves into a more and more serious and self-harming sircle. so no, I don't think most anorexic people think they are attractive, because it might seem like the battle to become perfect will never stop...

I thought this video was very powerful. Some of the images used at the beginning have been altered digitally but the rest is 100% spot on. It is disgusting the way the mass media turns a blind eye to this soul destroying and ultimately death-inducing condition. Women are still oppressed today more than ever - it's just that the gym, diet pills and spending time and money on weight loss have replaced spending time in the kitchen.
MsWonderWoman1988 3 years ago 2
hey pretty good video. but you didn't mention the more complex and psychological side of anorexia. it is not as straight-forward as being obsessed with your weight, it can be caused by insecurity, feeling trapped and wanting something to control. people express these feelings thru weight-loss as it is often the only way they know how, some may feel that they would be better off if they did lose weight.
i know what i'm talkin an=bout btw, ive been there.

although this was an interesting and informative video, i feel that you did not actually argue your case. if this were an essay, your thesis would be that Anorexia exists in the media, and presumably that it is the cause of all the anorexia in young girls. then you would have to defend your claim by providing arguments, and furthermore, evidence. but i feel like i just got a lecture on what anorexia is, but not how the media has spurred it.

I really think the problem of anorexia is for one part caused by the world we are living in. I mean: if every model, actrice, singer and tvhost would at least be 70 kilo's, no one would want to be skinny. But the other part is that young girls like me are alot of times very insecure and they are looking for something that gives them more convidence... sadly anorexia doesn't
