A Battle from Within Growing up in the 20th and now 21st century, teenagers are bombarded with ideals and images to follow. Women in the media have gone through many phases. It started in the late 1980's and early 1990's when Kate Moss started the "waif" look.

…showed last 75 words of 682 total…and ask themselves whether they look fat, need to exercise more, have a big nose… The battle is not over and probably will not end.

Now that we entered the new millennium, it is our duty to end the battle and free everyone from the "Beauty Myth."
