Brainstorming for Research Project

When thinking of a topic to research, the first thing that came to mind is eating disorders. This is a close to heart subject because one of my best friends had an eating disorder a few years ago. I think that this topic is interesting because it effects so many teenagers. I think it is really interesting how the media has such a huge influence on not only girls, but boys body types too. One of my questions will be, "how does the media influence girls' body images?" I think many people should be informed of ways to notice if a person has an eating disorder so that they can help them. "If a person doesn't show signs of weight loss, are there different ways to know if someone has an eating disorder?" I think it is really important for teenage girls especially to learn to love themselves for who they are. They shouldn't always aspire to look like celebrities or models who are way to thin. Another reason why I want to research this topic is because my favorite show is America's Next Top Model. I would like to know..."Why is super skinny the most desirable body type for models?" This doesn't make sense to me because they are modeling clothes for the public, so how do these clothes fit both the overly skinny 7 feet tall models, and the normal body type?
