Glamour Models

I agree with what your saying emma_kift about it being hard to shy children away from infulences when they are so readily available in the media.

But I also agree with what underwaterophelia said- that you can try your hardest and I do agree it is mainly a parents respnisibility to make sure children get good role models and a good start on life. If my child decided to be a porn star or stripper ect. I admit I would feel I have failed her.

Although I think what emma said about glamour models being photoshopped is a little of mark. Take a look at the cover of any lads mags and you will see the women are quite “volumtuous” ( well in my opinion they are still skinny but by todays standards they are curvy). I can gurantee that womens mags photoshop photoshoots of female celebrities A LOT more than glamour model shoots. The reason being- men prefer real women but women have such more high standards for their peers.

underwaterophelia - surely it’s not the parents fault, what about films like high school musical, magazines, television. The media have a lot to answer for. Parents can’t protect their child from everything? They try their best.

I dont think glamour models should be looked up to. In magazines all the skinny, ‘gorgeous’ women are plastered in make up and crazily photo shopped. The media really does have a lot to answer for. It’s sad to hear about how many young girls hate their bodies due to people believing that size 0 is normal, and is what should be accepted.

I definately dont think gurls should be intimidated by the chicks on these magazines…cause tbh when theyr like proper skinny it gets 2 a point wher it luks like theyr skinnier than the guy and thats just weird.
