Why do we have to look a certain way?
Is it only the media that makes us feel, that we have to be skinny to look beautiful?
Why do we only see skinny people running around in the television?
How do people respond to people like Monique, taking against skinny people?
Is it only teens who feel pressure to look a certain way?
Is there any way to see the media in a different light?
Are the people behind the screen, the ones that feel only certain image should be put out in the media?
Why can’t we all just love who we are?
Can insecurities sometimes lead to a deadly path?
As a human being how do we see ourselves in our own lives?
