- Did you know that 1 percent of adolescents in Canada are suffering of anorexia nervosa?.
- Did you know that steroids are used by 8th and 10th graders.
- Did you know that there is more than 14 percent of the persons who are dissatisfied of their plastic surgery?.
As you can see , several persons are obsessed with their bodies.
This big problem affects a lot of people of any ages all around the world.
Nowadays, the medias always show these unrealistic perfect bodies.
Because of it, many normal persons have a bad vision of themselves.
These problems can be divided in three categories: .
- Steroids abuse.
- Anorexia nervosa.
- Plastic surgery.
Many young boys want to be muscular like their favourite football stars.
Indeed, in our society, there are several men who takes steroids to be more powerfull.
However, steroids have some bad effects like abnormal development of sexual organs, acne, hair loss and can even cause heart discorders, tumors or cancers.
According to me, there is a way to reach our goals without drugs as this one.
In the last years, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has distributed special bulletins on anabolic steroids to prevent the use of these drugs.
I hope that it's going to help to decrease the number of followers. .

A second body obsession is anorexia.
Many women who are not fat often think that they need to lose weight.
They have the misconception that they are too fat.
This type of girls begin with moderate dieting or preoccupation of food.
They will soon stop eating and and begin to have problemes of health.
However, anorexia has some bad effets like starvation, depression and even suicide.
The patients need a psychological support and we should help them.
Finally, the third body obsession is the plastic surgery.
Body-image pressures and low self-esteem lead thousands of North Americans to use the cosmetic surgery.
The most popular kinds are breast implants, liposuction and rhinoplasty.
