These images effect our self image through our idea of beauty. We feel that we have to be skinny, and have perfect feautures to be beautiful, yet we truly do not.

they mess with our heads and make us search for ways in order to achieve that ultimate "perfect" weight causing many to starve themselves or make themselves throw up any food in which they consume

Images in the media that have been modified create an atmosphere of misinformation that detracts from the overall mental health and psychological standing of the populace. Additionally, they modify the societal values of beauty and self-image, creating a status-quo of narcissistic and self centred ideals that contribute to modern mental health issues.

People no longer feel like they are healthy, even when they're body is quite well within the limits of biological health. Mentally, they are attempting to strive for an impossible goal

The images cause people to be less content with themselves and cause them to starve themselves or exercise too much.

Healthy Eating is important. These images make people starve themselves to achieve those body shapes. The diets they go on to try to achieve that are actually harmful to their health. Due to lack of food or proper food, people can feel negative impacts on mood and body. All this really messes up a person's vitality and can be harmful to mental health. With this failing vitality you have a hard time making friends and being a friend.

Makes people try too hard, killing themselves, to get a better body. Since the photos are unattainable, people are never going to feel good about themselves.

The ideal body for a woman is supper toned and fit, but their are body types that will not achieve that as easy as others. And this could cause people to exercise to much.

We are taught that perfection overrides health; and that health is not perfection. In addition, vitality is defined by health.

Ones who are uneducated about how deceptive these

pictures are may develop a negative image of themselves.

These images send subliminal messages that there is a

certain standard for beauty that only girls with those features meet.

You begin to compare your flaws with what appears to be their physical

attributes.

Fitness is important to manage our bodies and keep from going overweight or becoming unhealthy.
