| crazym3's Full Review: All About You Magazine |
I wrote an epinion on Glamour, and got pretty bad reviews, but I assume this is because there are still a lot of teens out there who think (as one epinions member put it) "brainwashing" is ok. Well, I don't. I grew up with a weight problem, as many women do (not all, obviously), and I never thought I was good enough. Women, children and especially overweight females don't need to see anorexic-looking models plastered everywhere.
I used a very strong term, need, because it has been psychologically proven that more women and young teens fall into depression because of weight disorders or eating disorders caused by stress due to weight do's and don'ts.
I was only 15 years old, and suffering from Bulimia. (For those of you who don't know what bulimia is, it is an eating disorder) Three years later, although over the 'hump', still have bulimic tendencies. I had almost no self-esteem, and well...lets just say I was a very depressed and unhappy child. (Sorry, didn't intend to get extremely personal)
If any magazine editors are reading this...All About You, Glamour, Cosmo, etc. Please heed these warnings. Unless you want this problem hanging over your head at night, make a difference, and change the ways of the world by taking a very small step and including "big-boned" girls and women in articles and picture adds. It helps more than you know.
In addition, why is there always SEX SEX SEX in bold letters across these such magazines?! Most of these mags target teenagers, and with the increase in teen pregnancies, they dare play such games. I have no respect for most magazines on the "teen" racks.
