How Skinny Is Too Skinny?

A major question floating about Hollywood is: How skinny is too skinny? Many celebrities push this rule to the max. It is one thing to be thin and tone, but when when bones begin to show, there is something wrong. Take Nicole Richie for example, she started her 20's a full healthy woman, but as time passed she began to get skinnier and skinner. Finally she looked like a skeleton with skin. (Pictures above) It is terrible that these are the people that young girls look up too. When these young girls see their favorite celebrity skinny enough to fit into children's clothing, they are going to assume this is the "cool thing" to do. Girls may begin to think they are "too fat", and go on diets. These problems begin with girls as young as upper elementary school and middle school. These years are the most insecure years of a young girl's life. In some cases, eating disorders may form. This leads to rapid weight loss, but is ultimatley very unhealthy. Young girls need to be informed that there is such a thing as "too skinny". For example, Nicole Richie became so skinny, people were worried for her life. Excessive weight loss can be dangerous. If girls are willing to loose weight, they are going to have to be aware that there are right and wrong ways to do it.
