Modeling is generally seen as a unique opportunity dreamed of by many men and women in today's society. Unfortunately, not every dream is a walk in the park. Among the gorgeous models who walk the catwalk being photographed in designer clothes, a staggering number of them have reached the point of suffering from precarious eating disorders. Today, these disorders are increasingly common among adolescents and young adults who consider these professionals as role models. According to the National Association on Anorexia Nervosa and Related Disorders, nearly 70 percent of adolescents in grades 5 through 12 say models on the runway or in magazines influence their idea of ​​the perfect body image (" Fashion”, 2011). These ideals today are very different from the models of decades ago, known for their curves and feminine figures, like Marilyn Monroe. This industry has changed a lot over time due to society's views on women. Unfortunately, this has fostered unhealthy eating habits, not only among the models themselves, but also among the teenagers who look up to them.

Ways to prevent young adults from developing an eating disorder is to get help from a professional where they can seek advice on internal issues that may be causing the disorder. Eating disorders are a problem that should not be overlooked if contracted by young adults, as they are potentially life-threatening and cause a variety of physical and emotional anxieties. These illnesses apply to these young adolescents as well as those in the industry who feel the need to be thin. Weight acceptance has fluctuated over the years and it all comes down to accepting your body and loving the way you look. Sometimes small changes, like those undertaken by some fashion industries, now need to be made to inspire young adults to take a step in the right direction to be healthy..
