The media portrays these models as thin, beautiful girls; this ultimately makes other girls who aren’t as thin feel as if they aren’t pretty. They’re cases where females are bullied to the point where they resort to drugs and alcohol to make the pain go away, drop out of school because they can’t face their tormentors, causing some type of physical harm to their bodies, and or even resort to taking their own lives.
By Greg Toppo, USA TODAY At first blush, Brittany Brechbuhl and Neil Ahrendt seem American success stories: They attend Carmel High School, a gleaming glass-and-brick edifice in suburban Indianapolis, where taxpayer support buys a genetics lab, a swimming pool and a 91% graduation rate. Brittany is 28th in her class, with a nearly perfect GPA; Neil is a National Merit semifinalist and class president. OK, so they don't seem to study very hard, but they're squeaky-clean and college-bound. What could possibly be wrong with this picture? Plenty, says a new documentary making the rounds with teachers.

CRN:23166 Going to high school is an experience, because walking into any high school for most teenagers is like walking into another world.
