It can be hard for up and coming stars in the country to adjust to the pressures placed on them. One such pressure is that of maintaining your weight and staying thin so that you will be desired. If you so much as gain a pound, the paparazzi and media are claiming that you have gotten fat and you must have serious underlying issues.
The real fact of the matter is that these publications do not care about the people that they hurt. The job is simply a high-end paycheck, a means to live. Photographing celebrities in their lowest moments is not exactly fair. We all have our low moments and I know that I do not want mine plastered all over the internet in the shape of doctored photos. However, body image issues tend to plague younger celebrities who are fighting with seasoned veterans of the industry. In order to stay thin, they eat very little and when they do eat, it is not healthy food. Because average girls and boys growing up look to the media to define sexy, these celebrities are not doing anybody a favor. They are promoting poor nutritional habits that will result
in a lifetime of problems.
