Just read Mrs Vass’ new post, really made me think about how the internet is being used more. Also think that sometimes the internet is ‘misused’ if you like, especially as people as young as 7/8 are starting to get the social networking sites, it kind of scares me!! Its taking me a long,long time to think about what im going to write a post about,nothing interesting has happened to me at all. Lets keep this one short & sweet 
…
Lately I’ve become more aware of my body, I’ve started to become more self concious than before, like a lot of people, I realise I’m not the thinnest of them all, but then I think to myself ’is skinny really beautiful?! Size zero models are becoming more commercial than ever, I haven’t seen a normal looking girl on a magazine in ages, I also haven’t seen a non airbrushed photo in one either. Another thing that also struck me was that people seem to find it really nice, I cant see anything nice about having a stick thin body, but that’s just me 
! The size zero look consists of an intense exercise regime and an extreme diet which not only physically drains you but I can imagine it mentally drains you too! hmm,not sure what the point in that post was but its something I feel strongly about

A very thoughtful post, Anna. Thanks for sharing!
I remember 100s of years ago reading magazines and feeling very inadequate compared to the lovely models in the pages.
There’s big difference, though, because I was the one with the ’stick thin’ body and the models were all curvy. I felt very unfeminine in comparison
I think your phrase “….not only physically drains you but I can imagine it mentally drains you too….” sums things up perfectly when you feel pressured to look like the typical stereotype. There’s so much sense in what you said in a few words!
(I was almost tempted to start this comment by saying how much I would have loved to have looked like you when I was your age, but I changed my mind because I realised that you wouldn’t believe me anyway – even though it’s true!)
