== == The response to that question is a matter of opinion since there are no hard *facts* with which to answer it, but it is my opinion that it is because of the attention given to "thin" celebrities. The media constantly glamorizes the image of being overly thin and makes it appear as if a person has no worth if they don't meet the standards of Hollywood and the fashion industry. This is a very shallow, mindless and unrealistic attitude.
Unfortunately, many people of all ages allow themselves to be taken in by that idea. But for young people it is especially difficult because they already are concerned about body image. This is a normal stage of adolescence. Between the ages of approximately 10 and 18 one's body undergoes many changes. Adolescents normally feel self-conscious about the way they look to begin with, so if you add the nonsense that is pushed on them by the media every day, from every direction, then they are bound to feel dissatisfied unless they are "perfect". And guess what? Even the most so-called perfect person harbors dissatisfactions within themselves about how they look.
It's human nature to think someone else has something better and the media feeds on our insecurities to sell their products.
We are reminded daily by the media that in order to "be happy", one must be thin, rich, glamorous, and perfect. This is a dream world that has no basis in reality.
