Fast times
One of the more obvious offshoots of this mad dash to be cool, trendy and fashionable: children as young as nine or ten with body image problems. Because of the way music videos, fashion magazines and advertising portray beautiful people, a lot of girls want to be thin. There is just no room for baby fat. It is sad that kids have body image problems when they’re supposedly too young to be conscious about it. Anorexia is still rare here but bulimia, we have a lot.
What isn’t so apparent is the pressure on young people to explore their sexualities at a very tender age.
In this kind of generation, sexual exploration started when you were in college. Some started in high school, but they were the exception. Today, it is the other way around and that was just ten years ago. It is not as bad here, yet.
