Too-Skinny Models

Spain's government recently banned models considered "too-skinny," saying they wanted to set a healthier body image for young girls. What do you think of this? Do you agree or disagree?

What Other Teens Said

  • Here’s what I think. The increasing number of overweight children isn’t just because of fast food, or that kids decide to eat more. I’m a kid and I hope I don’t get fat, but I know I’ll never be so skinny and beautiful as all those models, so why even bother trying? Why should I deny myself something I enjoy- like eating- when I know that even if I never ate another dessert again in all my life, I would never look like those girls.
    I say ban them all!
