I don't have daughters but I do have a granddaughter. She worries about how she looks and she is twelve. I will look for something to show her how the magazines work myself. I expect it will be a while before it becomes part of the school curriculum.Nikki Lentferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337283496778537910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182840669338696625.post-50469854819894170202012-04-07T04:48:12.092-07:002012-04-07T04:48:12.092-07:00I totally agree with being happy with who you are....I totally agree with being happy with who you are.

I saw a documentary similar to the one you saw; before that, I thought they just took acne off people. I didn't realize they took pounds off of people and made arms smaller and thighs trimmer. <br /><br />Crazy!<br /><br />We really need to reconfigure our ideal bodies... and start early teaching young girls that the magazines are not real images. Or maybe, one day, magazines will start using real images of people - that would be amazing!a.eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468719598280416330noreply@blogger.com
