This week I am going to steer clear from adult crazy fads and disorders but rather discuss children and some of the redic pressures they face to become thin. There have been so many studies about Moms and the relationship they have with their children and how influencial children can be. According to www.webmd.com, girls were also more likely to diet if their moms had done so in the past year and it also showed som interest in the boys who stated 8% of the boys wanted to be bigger in muscle size, which is 8% too many. Children need to focus on being a child and its crazy how young these diet fads are starting. If their weight is a health issue that is different but if a child wants to be thin becuase of their mom or the media that is just wrong. And it gets worse as the teenage years progress, stating that A recent review of adolescents indicated that 41% to 66% of teenage girls and 20% to 31% of teenage boys have attempted weight loss at some time in the past. This culture has become too obsessed with weight when it comes to the already thin, adolecent and teenage girls.
