Ok so I’ve been thinking about getting into being a model. I’m only 15 so I’m not planing on being one until I’m 18. While I was looking on line to see the requirements of bein a model I saw a bunch of disgusting bullshit and then I stumbled upon this and nearly fainted at the heading :O but then I read the article And I actually have hope I’m not sure in what though… I guess I’m just happy that people are seeing that today’s models is sick and disgusting and we could go back to Marilyn Monroe models… Maybe c: 

Most Models Meet Criteria for Anorexia, Size 6 Is Plus Size: Magazine 

Most runway models meet the body mass index criteria for anorexia, according to an editorial pictorial in the January issue of PLUS Modelmagazine.

Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8 percent less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23 percent less, it said. When asked for its source, the magazine cited the website of Rader Programs, which treats those with eating disorders.

Plus-size models have shrunk, too. A decade ago, plus-size models averaged between size 12 and size 18. Today, the majority of plus-size models an agency boards are between size 6 and size 14, the magazine said, based on its own research.

These statistics accompany nude photos of a plus-size model, who in some images is entwined with a nude runway model.

The editorial — intended to be revealing in both senses — is aimed at the fashion industry, but its immediate audience is ordinary women who are increasingly dissatisfied by fashion’s unwillingness to market to them, the magazine said.

Half of women wear a size 14 or larger, but most standard clothing outlets cater to sizes 14 or smaller, it said.

Buy from companies that market to you, shun those who don’t and amplify your demands via social media, the editorial advised women.

The pictorial has received more than 300,000 hits, 881 retweets and more than 11,000 Facebook shares.

Model Beverly Johnson told ABC News she was between a size 4 and 6 at the height of her career two decades ago. She wasn’t surprised to learn that meant she could almost be considered plus-size today.

“I think the whole obsession of being thin — I see more women and sometimes men that are super, super thin than in any time in history,” she said.

“My daughter is a plus-size model,” she added, “and she’s one of my heroes because she’s one of the warriors that are going out and saying, ‘Listen, we need to embrace our bodies and love our bodies as they are.’”

I bought a snow globe five years ago that represented happiness to me… It was a Christmas snow globe that was sooo big and beautiful. I used to look at it all the time so it would bring me hope… Today was suppose to be a good day. I was having the best day of my life…. And then it all started to shatter when I got into a argument with my teacher and a student… I came home feeling depressed… My snow globe was on my t.v. And I didn’t notice it there because I was so sad and my tv wasn’t working so I got angry and hit my tv as hard as I could and then….. I heard the sound of my hope shatter…. My hope…. My peace….. My happiness….. All gone. :’c I broke down crying on the floor and got some glass stuck in the palm of my hand… It’s now that I realize all hope for me is gone…. Shattered away.

This all happened a few minutes ago :’c I feel so depressed and I’m still crying as I take the time to write this to you guys…. Is all hope gone? Is this a sign that I should just give up?
