We all know how much kids obsess over their looks, some girls actually go on to have serious health problems such as anorexia and boys have unrealistic expectations and that can lead to bullying and other demeaning behaviour towards girls.
The majority of victims here are girls BUT more and more boys suffer too.
The media presents unattainable images of models and actors but refrains from mentioning that they have been airbrushed, elongated, tucked in and even plumped up!
So yes, do promote healthy eating and exercise to your kids and teenagers... but do show them this so they can see what REALLY happens behind those photos of 'perfect' models.
Like this they can see what is natural & healthy VS so called perfect & fake!

HashTags with Justin Timberlake & Jimmy Fallon
Ok Hashtags. I use them, you use them, everyone uses them.
But please do keep them to twitter and don't go overboard people! hahaha
Here's a funny video illustrating exactly that over use and how annoying it is...
I found it hilarious! Enjoy

8 Years Old and Married - The Secret World of Child Brides
The secret world of child brides, happens in many countries and cultures.
It's terrible and the true, this is outright criminal and barbaric but still happening in this day and age.
An eight year old is raped in 'marriage', a 14 year old is pregnant and scared she will die at birth...
Watch the short video for an insight.
(Please do not watch this with young children nearby, there is nothing graphic but sex is mentioned and the video is not appropriate for young ears.)
Stephanie Sinclair's investigation compiled over 8 yrs for the National Geographic.
HOW TO HELP!
National Geographic has compiled a list of organizations that encourage families to delay marriage and give girls an opportunity to reach their full potential.

Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield: Celebrities doing it in style
You think I am thinking about fashion? No this is waaaay better.
Celebrities get 'papped' doing absolutely anything and nothing, glad to see this couple, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, using their 'powers' to do some good instead of just showing off the latest fashion!
Their sign, written on what looks like paper bags from a restaurant, otherwise known as 'doggy bags' says: "We just found out that there are paparazzi outside the restaurant we were eating in. So...why not take this opportunity to bring attention to organizations that need and deserve it? www.wwo.org www.gildasclubnyc.org. Have a great day!"
Now that is something! The websites they are directing us to are...
Worldwide Orphans Program http://www.wwo.org/ - To transform the lives of orphaned children to help them become healthy, independent, productive members of their communities and the world.
Gilda's Club New York City http://www.gildasclubnyc.org/ - Support for people living with Cancer
Now that is publicity with a good heart!
