Answers:
You're right! It's not realistic. that's why we see so many stars with eating disorders. And this is not an excuse to be "unfit" either, It's just what we see everyday on TV.

no i disagree?
what is a "normal" person, someone who is fat?

since when was "normal" fat? This is just an excuse to stay unfit.

Yes! You are right! Notice how whenever you start talking about this there are always a few people who think that the skinny 3% of the population is normal and the 97% of us who aren't are not normal.

Uh.don't watch TV, then. TV is stupid and rots your brain.
Just go outside and play, already.

just don't watch tv, it is useless and turns your brain to mush. Read a good book they will have lots of characters that are fat.

those extremely skinny people are probably below there average weight and unhealthy

I'm with you!! We need more real people on tv, especially on those kids shows. Less hoochies, too.

Well, really. They are stylish and Hannah Montana girl is really from Tennessee (That I'm told) and seems very active. There is pressure because people feel that being skinny is stylish (I know, because I am skinny).

personally, i dont give a flying f$#% about how other people look, and neither should you..be yourself, and for some people thats not enough, but for some it is.

I'm skinny and tall. And i hat it when people think that we're happy w/our body. I'm too skinny,I've tried to gain weight but I haven't been very successful. People should think twice next time they say "Oh,you're so skinny! I wish i was,"because sometimes you don't.

Oh yes I'm tired of not seeing any people that look like they might eat, on t.v. I know I'm not skinny and most people I know aren't bone thin either so why can't tv have more NORMAL looking people. As for Hilary OH Yah she looks horrible. and so do lots of other woman, especialy young ones.

i totally agree. Pretty soon 5-8 yr olds are going to be pressured to be that skinny because all they have to idolize is "fake" people from the Disney channel. I have a 8 yr old sister and she is always talking about how perfect the characters are on them shows its ridiculous. they need some thick people on children's shows.

TURN OFF THE TV, throw away the magazines and look around at the BEAUTIFUL people around you. beauty is in YOU, and it's not a number on a scale, or the measurement around your waist, or your bra size.

Don't let the media taint you, and presume you HAVE to look like the women on TV in order to be loved and cared for.

i think your right and there is to much pressure on people on the t.v. now and i don't think that's right because in the real world every one is not the same size

I like a fit healthy woman that looks like a woman.the lady's now days that exercise and wear close that makes them look like a 12 year old boy from behind make me sick and sad.and you don't have to have giant boobs to be beautiful
