The Slim Image

This short and sweet slide show portrays the dangerous effects that digital media is having on the youth in todays society. These outrageous facts on eating disorders in young people are extremely worrying and it is very unlikely that these statistics will decrease anytime soon.

With eating disorders on the rise and digital media not addressing this growing problem the youth of the future are in for a nasty ride. If digital media used real, natural woman of a healthy size then half of our problems would be solved. With girls admiring these skin and bone models its no wonder that normal sized girls get bullied and picked on for their weight. Portraying women in such a way that majority of women today think they are overweight is not the right message to be giving to younger generations. Women of an average weight now feel its compulsary that they be a smaller size as society is telling them that skinny is beautiful and if you aren't beautiful then you are worth very little, which is completely wrong. Beauty is natural.


A scary reality.
