Ages and Stages Second Half: Fourth Entry **

I believe that eating disorders are so common in modern day because in modern day there is a certain body shape or weight that everyone wants to achieve that is near impossible to achieve such as a supermodel body.  Girls will continue to try achieving this body type despite their own body type being perfect in their own way.  I believe that everyone may continue trying to achieve this "perfect" body-type for many years because there will always be role models that people will have and try to follow such as athletes or actresses.
