“Super Models should be allowed to be as thin as they want?”

Last week in Amy’s class, we were talking about one topic that completely caught my eye: “Super Models should be allowed to be as thin as they want?” I think that the debate we had in class was very interesting because there were very good points of view to be for and against. My particular opinion is that in these days many young people try to imitate the style of life of the supermodels, not only wearing the same clothes, also getting special diet to be as thin as the supermodels. Many of them don’t care about their self health and they start to stop eating well, doing a lot of sports and anything they could, only to be thinner. Like a consequence of that many girls develop two eating disorders which are very dangerous and unhealthy for them: Anorexia and Bulimia. One friend of mine had bulimia a couple of years ago and that was horrible not only for her, also for all her family. It took her more than 1 year to recover for it physically and emotionally.

I know that anybody have their own rights. Some people might say “It’s my body, and I could do anything with it because is my life” and it’s true. But I think there are some people who have to know they are models of life for many others. Maybe, many people have the money to take care of their self with the help of a doctor or a nutritionist, but there are many people too, who don’t have the money and they put in risk their life trying to imitate supermodels life.

It is a very controversial topic and I’m looking forward hearing your opinions.
