Guys and Girls: WHAT DOES THE MEDIA MAKE YOU FEEL?!
Question: ....Dont you think the flawless skins (obviously make up), slim bodies (geez all the money they spend for it) , and muscular guys (ditto), that perfect hair (wigs, fake!) make you feel degraded. Does this bother you?

It saddens me. Especially because the MEDIA is our SOCIETY. Media tells us how we should look, what we should buy, the lifestyles we're supposed to have, how we are supposed to live and who we are supposed to be. The media is what causes these 12 year old girls today to start doubting themselves, hating themselves, wanting to be these young "icons" when in all reality they can't be because what the Media portrays those girls to be, is not even who or what they really are. It's sickening that magazines and tabloids have become this country's Bible. The television, our dictator. I could go on and on but I won't. I wrote a 10 page term paper on this in college. Aced it.
I really don't care. I don't get my body image from TV.
i try to compare myself to people in my surroundings instead. ^_^
I most definitely don't feel degraded, I feel lucky, because I know how to be real and I know how to live. I have this thing against the media, so even though it annoys me, it doesn't bother me.
The only time I feel bad is if it's me or it looks like me... and it looks like total SH*T. Otherwise I judge everyone else as an individual and not against a whole catagory or certain specifications (if that even makes any sense!).
