At this point, I want to focus on the effects that the media has on teenage girls. I would like to point out the specific magazines and websites that use propaganda to make real life girls feel that they need to change to become accepted in society. I will focus a lot of my energy on the controversies of the use of photoshop in the media, and how unreal it makes some of the models in the pictures look. Girls see these photos and they then have an image in their mind of how they need to look, and this leads to insane body image concerns. I will then branch off of this, and talk about the effects that these false images have on the mind, and what girls do to be "perfect."
I think this could be a great idea because it impacts our everyday lives whether we realize it or not. Check out this video I think its really great and could be really cool to try out something like this.

I think this idea is really awesome and since your blog mentioned eating disorders,maybe you could even relate the media's effects on not just self esteem but teenager's diets.
