The affect
The affect is people are influenced to be a particular image that could become harmful. These particular images are imbeded into peoples head as must have or must be. Its "I need to loose more weight to I need to get bigger.". For Women, the struggle of the ideal is the physical attraction for skinny women. The term skinny has changed over the years to beyond healthy limits. To wear diseases and problems occur for being underweight. I say a good portion of these images come from is the media. For men, its similar in a way, but its being not skinny. The image is to be physical big and strong. But its to a point of too big and strong. Also its whats being used to reach these physical characteristics. The drugs can be dangerous and have affect on your longevity. Moral story is the ideal today has changed and really the ideal image is more than just a image. Its a negative image because people are trying to be something else rather than just plain healthy.

I agree, I think that health should be the only body image people should feel they have to obtain
-For some reason drugs hadn't crossed my mind, like how people do them to get this way, and it's a really good point.
-Good Job :)
i totally agree, people don't care about their health. They only care on how they look from the outside. If people really want to get the shape they want they sould get professional help. and its because alot of people go into harmful diets.
I agree. Instead of calling someone who is struggling from an eating disorder "unhealthy" they are simply referred to as "thin" or "skinny" with positive implications behind it. This is wrong, and even scary how our image of beautiful to many young kids has become that of an unhealthy body image.
