I thought it was awful to listen to that 10 year old and how she believes you got to be pretty to have friends and that if you are ugly/chubby you are going to be firendless and no one will like you, but well, it's all from her mohter isn't it....stupid cow...think is that poor girl will get a major shock, because like someone else said, yes she is pretty enough , but she isn't anyhting special the way they made out, and in the adult world of modelling forinstance people will not just say nice things because they don't want to hurt the other persons feeling, which undoubtedly still happens otherwise they wouldn't be as disillusioned.
To angmarie...feel your last comment was rather unfair, because anorexia, well, it's difficult to beat and very difficult to help your child when they have this illness....and it became really obvious that the pressure did come from the outside, not from the familyhome, her parents did really well to help her as they did. Anorexia is not just soul destroying to the vitim but also the family. I really did feel so bad for the poor girl though, I mena, she wasn't big to start of with but it goes to show that when something is put into your head how it becomes part of the person.
The tanning obcessive...now, I can understand why the mum says at least she isn't taking drugs...of course....but well, she already looked old skin wise, what will she look like in her early twenties/midtwenties...never mind her thirties....and truely hope she will not have to deal with skincancer...
