And that, unfortunately is happening more and more often.<br />Hopefully the positive reinforcement from events like Sochi will help to turn the tide.

Now I'm reading this and getting just as outraged, although my apologize; I do not have a limerick at hand. <br /><br />This isn't a phenomenon I totally understand. I remember sitting in my room as a teen reading mysteries and other fiction until the wee hours, accompanied by the family cat and chocolate snacks.<br /><br />I, too, wonder where are the mothers, aunts, grandmothers -- and where are the school educators adding this to health education. Counselors, too, should see students with this problem.<br /><br />As you say, it's not only terrible but it can be fatal.<br /><br />I can't even imagine 10-15 year olds afflicted with this disorder, but I believe it. <br /><br />Perhaps the Internet is aggravating the problem, not true when we were growing up, but now ads and nasty tweets and facebook messages are blasting girls night and day about their weight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-57564713588072042192014-02-22T21:20:42.291-05:002014-02-22T21:20:42.291-05:00Caro--Today's L.A.

My friends made fun of me and called me skinny. Now that I am a size 12, we are all supposed to look like Kiera Knightly. It is never going to be my turn. <br />The ads on my FaceBook page are ALWAYS about weight loss or how to get rid of wrinkles. Even at my age, the product producers are trying to make me feel bad about myself so they can sell me things. How can a teenage girl, at such a vulnerable point in her life, be protected from peer pressure and commercial interests who want to victimize and exploit her. And where are their mothers?<br /> Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-77598332443094840382014-02-21T17:10:56.941-05:002014-02-21T17:10:56.941-05:00Late last night, just before midnight, I returned...Late last night, just before midnight, I returned to NYC from a brief stay in Phoenix after a slightly longer stay in Palm Springs. Allow me to say that plastic surgery is more prevalent in those two sun-filled playgrounds than golf balls. And at times I think the latter is employed in the artistry of the former. <br /><br />But what really stopped me cold was this one young girl, fifteen at most, who looked as if she'd just left a concentration camp. She was stylishly strolling along the main shopping street with "normal" looking friends, and my girl friend, an ex-model, wanted to get out of the car and "shake sense into her." <br /><br />This morning I had to race out to my snowbound farm and just now got to see your blog. Glad to see that there's a whole lot of shaking going on at your end.<br /><br />And I simply loved the limerick, though there was one slight typo that I corrected.
