Paper Summary:

This paper argues that the current trend towards being skinny is causing serious harm to teenage girls. The author argues that this obsession is the leading cause of eating disorders and sickness in today's society.

From the paper:

"Eight million or more people in the United States have an eating disorder, ninety percent are women and eating disorders usually start in the teens but may begin as early as age eight. To me, the center of this problem is young women ignoring that they know what they are doing is wrong. If girls think that all guys just look at the body they are wrong. There are a few, but they grow up. You girls just can?t ignore the facts."
