Teenagers feel guilty about their bodies due to the media, and how they see themselves. In a short poem, Lang Day, the author, describes how she saw herself, “Flat-chested, ribs protruding, I always felt fat: bottom heavy.

This young girl had suffered from anorexia for years all because of how the media portrays “beautiful women.”.

She said “no” I told her it is not fair that she experienced and I didn't. She kept saying no it didn’t matter because she care about me so I figured it how to make her let me so I gave her my puppy eyes and she hate to see me like that. She say fine and let me but she told me she will watch teachers and principal around school I was excited but same time nervous because it was my first time.

Advertising effects women’s image (Pro) Hello everyone. Did you know that young women between the ages of 18-34 y Burns have a 7% chance of being as skinny as a catwalk model and only a 1% chance of being as skinny as a supermodel? Advertising affects the women’s image by increasing eating disorders, changing the ideal body image of women over the years, and by creating unrealistic beauty standards. According to a study in pediatrics, about two-thirds of girls in the fifth through twelfth grades said that magazine images influence their vision of an ideal body; about half of those girls said it made them want to lose weight. Some researchers believe depicting thin models does not appear to have a long-term negative effect on adolescent girls but that it does affect girls who already have body image problem.

Hannah Baker was just an average girl that did everything average high school girls did. But during her high school life many events happened that led to the end of her short life. All of These events played a vital role in why she committed suicide; She lost trust in people, believed no one cared about her, and just gave up. Then though I believe it could have been different if clay had went up to her and tried to talk to her and actually showed her that he actually cared about her. Then I do believe that they could have ended up being in a relationship with each other and then Hannah would have finally found happiness in her life.
In 2006, the proportion of mothers with newborns that were in the workforce was at 57% (“Working Parents”, 2012). That number increased to 61% in 2008 (“Working Parents”, 2012).
