You've got these girls, starving themselves; and on the flip side juvenile obesity is at an all time high. Both extremes are indicative of an unhealthy psyche. It is obvious that there is something missing, something that is medicated by food or no food. Control issues, attention seeking. Children were happier when they were not told they were a choice, but rather a gift. Here’s what I find interesting.

I've seen it first hand..and one of my daughters friends DIED of this...her heart just stopped one day. Her parents were made aware of concerns; they were informed of possible problems but they chose to think differently. And now they live with guilt. I don't wish this upon anyone. It's AWFUL and it is UP to the grown ups to take control of this. If grownups start this process BEFORE it becomes an issue, we're better off.

We need to bring this issue out. Girls lives depend upon it- since so many refuse to even see this as a problem. Until it's too late. Your welcome Sadie…and thank you for the link.

Set some standards. Don't be scared to openly admire women who are NOT perfect; don't fall into the trap of making comments about the Hollywood plastic society and how beautiful they all are; don't drop and drool over the models and others.

There is nothing attractive about skin and bones. And it is unfortunate that there girls believe that starving themselves will make themselves feel prettier. That is one reason I am going to tell me little girls that they are beautiful everyday and not let there self-esteem falter, atleast not because I neglected them or did something to push them over that edge.
