﻿How I feel about Anorexic Models . ..
====I think that they should not walk the runway. If designers let these girls walk in their clothes they are not going to get any better. Young girls are thinking that being a size zero is normal. Many countries are taking action aganst anorexia. Spain is disallowing models to walk the runway if their BMI (Body Mass Index) is lower than 18. These models are starving themselves because industries hire, cast and publishes only the images of models that fit into a size zero. ==== ====I am glad I am not interested in modeling because I could never hurt my body to be 'pretty' in somebody elses eyes. Its sad that girls maybe two or three years older than me weigh maybe fouty or fifty pounds lighter. ====

Should Anorexic Models walk to runway? No.

 Ohhh Ahhh Ewwww! Anorexic models are not only scary to look at they make you wonder how can a person live not eating? 10% of teenagers die each year from anorexia. How would you feel if you daughter was modeling and said " I can't eat supper. I need to lose weight." I would be scared and mad that my daughter thinks she needs to be 'skinny'. The look of an anorexic model gives you shivers. How healthy are these people? What will young models think of becoming anorexic? I think they should not walk the runway and that they need to become healthy before allowed back modeling.

You've ordered a magazine and it finally came. You open it and the first picture is of a girl who's thinner than the magazine itself. How appealing is that to you? Would you want to promote this model? So instead of looking through your magazine you decide to go to a fashion show. To your surprise almost every model is anorexic. How is this normal for designers and fashion show directors hire twigs to walk in their clothing? If every model was anorexic how many people would say "I want to go see that model."? Designers would have to make all their runway show clothes a 0. Would the clothes even fit at the smallest size?

Being healthy is extremely important to my family but how important is it to a person who refuses to eat. How skinny is too skinny? How safe is this for young women? Women are becoming dangerously skinny. How are these girls possible still able to walk if they don't fuel themselves and only eat little to nothing? I've know that being in a fashion show its a lot of running around. The other problem is that no one is telling these girls that they need to become healthy and that they are sick. If everyone lets these girls live anorexic and work like nothing is wrong then these people care more about their money and themselves.

What are models for? To be pretty girls on the covers of thousands of magasins, to show off designers clothing or the be a role model to young girls all around the world? I think all of the above but one is specific, role models. How will a younger model become healthy and successful when they think being super skinny is the way to go. Forcing themselves to be a zero is ridiculous. Not eating, weighing themselves every day, being all bone. How is that right. Many people say you get used to it. How can you when what you see makes you gag. If fashion is making these girls hurt themselves is it worth it?

Case to point anorexic models should not walk the runway. Their health, look and reputation as a role model is getting pushed aside for their career. So if you know someone who is dealing with anorexia or any other eating disorder show them this and help them realize what is going on with their body.
