A tall and charming catwalk model is every girl's dream. Long and beautiful legs, slim body and beautiful shiny hair are what an average young woman sees as an ideal image for a woman. If you don't look like the images of those gorgeous Victoria Secret models and fashion week models, you suddenly feel ashamed of your own body. It's a great life to live with a big salary, fame, drinking champagne on a yacht with famous celebrities and even being on the cover of Vogue. The fashion industry has been the most influential source in the lives of our young women. You see girls and young women eating as little as possible, sometimes even starving to look like those models. What they don't realize is that they are contributing to 2.7% of young people aged 13 to 18 suffering from anorexia and bulimia. Susan Albers, a psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic, said that exposure to thin models is a big trigger in maintaining an eating disorder. Watching America's Next Top Model or flipping through a fashion magazine, these young women don't realize that those models are either naturally thin or suffering from an eating disorder themselves, in other words, hostages in the dark hell hidden behind those catwalks . curtains. The growing number of young patients suffering from anorexia and bulimia and the number of websites such as thinspiration, where girls post photos of their skinny bodies, clearly suggest that the modeling industry has no responsibility to provide healthy and realistic physical models. for young women.According to research, 95% of those who suffer from these eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25, the main audience of those who wear television models...... middle of paper ..... .the body. Another big improvement can be seen if the model's age is moved to 18 and above. This would help drive the number of very young teenagers, as young as 15 and 16, to stop binge eating to lose weight. Girls as young as 12 start getting ideas about how to lose weight by seeing pictures in magazines, if there is a larger age gap between these girls and models then these girls are less likely to try to look like models. Thinspiration is a virus-like source that has a great impact on women, eliminating these pro-ana websites will definitely reduce the number of girls with eating disorders. When women see other women like them posting their perfect body photos, they feel ashamed of their bodies and force themselves to lose a large amount of weight. With these changes the rate of eating disorder patients would definitely decrease within a couple of years.
