Promoting beauty!
I subscribe to the InStyle magazine, so that I can keep up on fashion; with my busy schedule that seems very difficult to do, but that's not the point. The point is why are all the advertisements showing flawless women using certain products? I haven't known anyone to be perfect, but all the ads shown of men and women have them looking perfect; when we all know everyone has something they don't like about themselves. The reason this bothers me is because it makes young girls and boys think they have to achieve this look and if they can't, then they will not be cool. Well, the editors need to realize that all this does is promote eating disorders in young girls and low self-esteem in boys. I think if your going to do an ad you shouldn't falsify it.

Sorry about that spelled many words wrong. Type to fast. I have neices who are medal winners as gymistist and as much as their mother denies it they could easily fall into the eating disorder trap and they could easily get into steriods use. It depends on how badly you want to win. I discussed with some of the family members and they all do not believe that these girl will fall into that trap. The potential is there. Especially if the mother figures that they are old enough to travel on their own.
The Temptation is there.
