The Skinny of it

I wasn't too sure what thinspo was, but after reading the article it didn't take me long to realize it is where media and social status has once again played on the mental illness of others. I think it's sickening to take already starving images,photo shop them even more then call it a form of art. Absolutely pop culture can produce mental illness and send a pre-disposed, impressionable teenager into all out anorexia. It is a long standing stereo type I believe that over-weight people are lazy, that along with other misconceptions I think have been taught by main stream media. I myself out of curiousness googled thinspiration and was shocked. But to someone who was struggling with their weight and looking for answers could be misguided. The women I saw looked SICK, not at all beautiful. I have heard the saying pictures are worth a thousand words I agree and the women in the pictures I saw were saying "I am hungry!" It's crazy that so many can be lead to think what is beautiful. I don't understand how some ones self image can be so distorted.
