Social Norms for girls may pressure them to focus on their body image in a negative way.
Growing up the dolls we had were Barbie’s and they reflect a skinnier body with a visible thigh gap. The models on magazine covers show women with air brushing and photoshop, showing slim and ‘ flawless’ women. During Paris Fashion Week, ladies who are slim, tall and are paid to work out hit the runway channeling high end clothes. Social media models are also slim and post pictures of them half naked and posing.
