Fashion Industrys Impacts On Eating Disorders |
In the United States there are more than 5 million people with eating disorders and growing, many teenagers from 18 years old to 30 years old have serious problems of anorexia or bulimia. We need to take a closer look at what is influencing our child and adolescents in this negative behavior.
The media has always ad a huge impact in our value, behaviors, choices, tastes and culture, we are very engage in what is going on with the latest celebrity and famous people that we like. Teenagers are specially vulnerable because they are starting to developed their own personality and want to be accepted by sociey, so they follow what they see is good for their image.
The fashion industry is part of what the media show adolescents on a daily basis on tv, magazines, newspapers, movies, etc Most of the women that are models and appear on tv, ads and everywhere are very skinny and they are used by the fashion industry as the role model of the perfect beautiful women.
However this is not true, we can not accept that as our role model because they do not represent the whole world of people with different cultures and likes. But many teenagers get obsessed with being like the models and celebrities to look beautiful, they even do plastic surgery to have a better body and they also engage in eating disorders to acquire their desire body at all costs.
Nevertheless, what this is causing is a negative self image that will create serious emotional problems, depression, anxiety and health issues as a result of those disorders. We need to educate our child of the truth about the media and the fashion industry, they are not the standard of what we should look like, they dont even have a normal life, its important to create a positive self image in our child, that makes them confident so they dont fall for this problem.
We can not blame just the fashion industry for anorexia and bulimia disorders because there are other factors or causes involved, but the impact on the choices, values and behaviors of teenagers is huge and no one can deny it.
