Yes it scares me too. Particularly as you say most of them are not even fat!. Then people give stupid advice like "just dont eat for couple of days, thats what i did" and all those other STUPID posts recommending acacia berries or wy something or other tea. I can remember growing up and i honestly never gave my weight a second thought. None of us were fat either. Seems these days kids are obsessed with how they look. I blame TV for that. All these shows where everyone is perfect and the only problems they ever have is with their boyfriends. Its ridiculous. I have two teenage daughters myself, so yes its hard to understand and i do worry for them. The world is so different now. Girls are so very critical of themselves. Its hard for them to live in a world where everyone is judged by their appearance.

Yes it does scare me. I don't have children, but if things keep going this way, i'll be to scared to bring a child into this world with all these warped ideas of what is the ideal 'look' and 'weight' is.
People need to stop worrying about what they look like and start living.
