Hello everyone,
I saw this as one of the questions of the day in the text message archives on Cingular...I thought it would be an interesting topic for the group here...

Do celebrities' looks lead to teen eating disorders?

Tell us your opinion.

The Cingular poll results stated
84% said Yes
16% said No

Hi Jo,
Definitely an interesting question ..


Do celebrities' looks lead to teen eating disorders?
I am going to say no they do not.
Guess it would also depend on the celebrities as far as the teens go.
Am hoping more teens know better these days.
As well as have their parents around for support as needed.
Thanks for asking :)

I do believe that all the kids today want to look like the stars.So yes some people will do anything to get get the look they want.How many woman would rather die of breast cancer, that have a breast removed.I knew a couple!!

i think celebs have had an influence on teens and looks for many years. includung when i was in high school. i was never one for the anorexic look. it is a shame that girls and older women think they have to be sooooo skiiny. it is unhealthy as well as unnatural

that is true. look at all the boys who will use steroids to look buff just like their sports idol.
