Advertisement influence

The society we live in today believes that we should be like the men and women that we see in advertisements and in movies/shows. We should be perfect. The perfect woman is tall, gorgeous, thin and curvy. The perfect man is tall, handsome, and muscular. There are woman who try to become the perfect women by getting surgery done. For example I have a cousin she doesn't like her nose so she decided to get a nose job. Why couldn't she have just left her nose alone? What is the perfect nose? Also I have a friend who didn't think she was skinny enough. She found herself to be overweight, she became anorexic. I wanted to help her, but I didn't know how. I tried my best to tell her everytime I talked to her that she is fine, and that she doesn't need to lose weight. That was a few years ago. She did get help for her problems. Now she got over the anorexia and is more confident in herself.
