The media has a significant impact on teenage girls and their development. During this impressionable age, many teenage girls turn to the media to determine their value and self worth, which often leads to skewed perceptions of the world. The messages of being thin, rich, and beautiful permeate many forms of media, especially those targeted towards this group. This video highlights some facts about medias affect on teenage girls and is here to educate parents on these issues.

This is all men's fault because we have low self-esteem.

BMI is proved to be an inaccurate measurement of health....stop living ur life by these stupid ideals, im 5'4 and 135 and no one has ever said im too fat, in fact a lot of guys swoon over my body. Yeah, just saying.

yes it is indeed sad what society we live in nowadays.

not everything is beautiful, it has some universal rules, symmetry and proportion fr eg. a giant is too big and a dwarf is too short, however theres a right proportion. an attractive female shud be healthy and fit.There shud be features in her body that indicate that. Developped hips nd cleavage, right amount of muscles and fat, All those features can give an idea on the fertility and health of a woman. things that our instict are meant to recognise.

They aren't just trying to show that girls want to be skinny, that is not the whole point. It's the fact that the extreme sexuality that is shown everywhere you turn, distorts peoples perceptions about reality. Men think about the sexy actors or women they saw on the advertisement on facebook instead of looking at their girlfriend or wife and giving her the respect he should. Women are suffering feeling they have to compete with these fake ideals.
