My first idea for my topic is how society, and more specifically magazines, actresses, models, and advertisement, affect the self esteem and self image of teenagers and young girls. I want to be able to help girls to be happy with who they are and what they look like and not look down upon themselves because they don't look like the girl on the cover of cosmo. Big time stores like Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie and Hollister create the image that you have to have the "perfect body" to wear their clothes. World famous brands such as Prada, Michael Kors, Dolce and Gabana all have these same models that have "perfect bodies" and those are the type of women young girls look up to and strive to be like, and then we wonder why anorexia, depression, and self esteem is such a big problem in this world. I want to not only reveal how these women are so "perfect" but to help girls be happy with who they are.
