Companies only pick models who are underweight to make it seem acceptable in young girls eyes.
Elect explains how “Most girls that strut down a runway are between the ages 14 to 19, 5 foot 10 and 11, with an average weight of 120 to 124 pounds”(1).

Mayer describes this trend as “Dying to be thin in our celebrity driven culture has become prevalent not only with your daughters and songs, but also friends and family members”(1).
Society
Society shapes and molds teens who are at the age of being peer pressured or easily influenced.
Mayer explains “The more we look at perfect images of others and then look to find those same idealised characteristics in ourselves and don’t find them, the worse we feel about ourselves”(2).
We should teach younger kids to perceive surroundings differently by checking out there source of music and interests in what they like to keep a control and raise teens’ up to get them involved in not listening to there surrounding but more so being able to be themselves and accept themselves for what they look.
Peer’s
Peer’s can also be a way to damage a teens self esteem
Example “ She got her hair dyed why can’t i?”
Mayer thinks and I agree that “Teens should appreciate the way they look already and be grateful”(2).
The only way to get this point across to them is by guiding them into the light of reality and that not everyone is the same.
