So, a lot of people have asked me where I get all of my images I put on my blog. I usually just stumble upon them randomly on the internet, but I do have a website, similar to Tumblr, for those of you who are familiar with that website, that I visit frequently to look for images. I admit, I have been guilty of spending endless hours on there, but lately, I've been absolutely appalled by some of the images that I've seen on there. Now that summer is finally here, many of the images have had to do with getting in shape for swimsuit season and keeping up a tiny figure. But some of these images are doing nothing but advocating anorexia. It's disgusting. Images like this...
And this...
Even this...
What kind of message is this sending to girls? You're not beautiful or worthy of any guy's time unless you're skin and bones. Don't eat. If you do, you're a complete failure. I'd rather die than be fat. "Skinny is perfection." People, this is disgusting. Speaking from experience, I have had my fair share of body image struggles, and you wonder why. It scares me to think that these images are out there for anybody to see, especially young girls who want nothing more than to be accepted by others. So is this the message we want to be sending to them?
I'm speechless.
