I have struggled with weight problems my whole life. The main reason I would struggle to be confident would be because of media. Media used to make it seem as though you were better if you looked like the models advertised. The media would always advertise skinny women and men rather than bigger people. I used to get bullied for my weight because it was put in children’s minds that skinny was better. However, more recently it has been the opposite. Now every one wants to be “thick”, this started when to become a trend when I was in high school. I noticed this change when instead of being referred to as fat I was referred to as “thick”. The media did not change completely too thick, there are more bigger models in the equation though. I believe media affects body image way more than it should.
