They could be. Barbies are REALLY super skinny, and little girls play with them, and, they might feel like they're not as perfect as the barbie and may develop an eating disorder because of it, I played with barbies when I was little and it didn't bother me at all, but, everyone's different. I'd say they could be, only for some people.

∙ 12y agoSmall children may come to believe that a normal person should look like barbie. In truth, a human that looked like barbie would be too skinny to have room for bodily organs such as stomach, intestines, liver and kidneys. Small children aren't able to evaluaute things that way so may get the wrong idea of normal.

Do eating disorders affect you mentally?
Most eating disorders are mental to begin with. They rarely stem from just the simple desire to lose weight. If they have a negative influence in their life (media, 'friends', family, bullies, etc.) telling them they are fat then that is what causes the eating disorder. People who develop eating disorders are usually just trying to control their lives. Being able to control how much they do or do not eat is a way to maintain that illusion of control which (mostly, to them at least) makes up for lack of control in other areas of their lives. Many people who suffer from eating disorders never fully recover because they have been relying on this outlet for so long that they have never learned positive ways to deal with their problems. Eating disorders are a cycle and most people tend to fall right back into the order of things because it has become a habit.
