Ok sorry for the mini rant here but y is it thin and pretty, skinny and beautiful are always lumped together.

People are not ulgy just because there not skinny, people come in all different shapes and sizes and there all beautiful.

God i hate the media at times...

sorry for that lol, merry Christmas everyone!

I am fat and feel the same way. Why does the media make us feel that we need to be one size? Who are we trying to be or impress??

I agree... a small size shouldn't be a prerequisite of being beautiful...

I know what you mean...when i was really bad skinny I wasn't beautiful at all...I looked sick..

deleted_user 12/24/2007

I agree...
y is it media has sSOOO much influence on what people in todays society consider beautiful? When i was sickly skinny...i wasnt beautiful...i was SICKLY looking...&& it was disgusting...i know plenty of women that the media would label as "big" but are BEAUTIFUL!!! && ive seen my fair share of "skinny" women who are not beautiful at all.... but we shouldnt care about outer beauty...doesnt anyone in the world care about inner beauty anymore? a person can have good looks && a horrible soul...&& vis versa....
when will the media look deeper?
