Back in the 1920s                Suzy IQ's "Teen Web Diary"
Lucky Strike
cigarette ads                                           "Q" of the Week :
proclaimed that       "Do you think there's "weigh" 
cigs could help           too much pressure on girls
 you stay thin?                           to look superthin?"
 

Okay, so you know 'bout eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia.  But did ya know you can also die of heart failure?  That's what happened to a ballet dancer who tried to lose weight and developed an eating disorder.  Yikes!     And if you are bulimic, you have 7 million sistas out there!  Can you believe? The totally ugly side of bulimia: it rots your teeth. Yuk!!		So, here's the deal:EDs are  bugging us.    You, too?    Here's what we think 'bout way serious stuff like if you think you may have an Eating Disorder.     Remember, these are only our opinions -- you make up your own mind.  Suzy IQ:  A megabig YES!   'Zines, TV, even the guys I date ALL make me feel like I'm fat 'cause my thighs are not the size of a shrimp.     Vibe:  Right on, Suzy.  I went on my first diet when I was eleven because this boy I liked called me gorda.  Fat.  You never forget those things.        High-FIve:   Get your boogie on, girl!  You have no prob.  I've, like, always been too tall, too big.  Like a basketball in a game of ping pong.  Black may be beautiful, but big ain't.
Did you weigh yourself today?  I did and I hated what it said.      "Suzy IQ Thought for the Day": I bet the first scale was invented by a man.  A man in the advertising business!     Our bods change in diff ways than in other times -- you probably got your first period 'round 11 or 12.   Girls in the earty 19th century (and probably even in the time of Shakespeare's Juliet, too) didn't start 'till they were 15 or 16!   Can you imagine -- Juliet fell in love, had fab sex and sweet surrender before she had her first period.   In the 1890s a girl's waist was supposed to be no larger than her age.  (Sweet 16   = 16 " waist).   Peace, sistas!	411:    Word up, you guys!  I can't even find clothes to fit  'cept in the kids' dept.  I'll never be totally cool.  I'll always look like a dork 'cause I don't look like the models in the 'zines.    Suzy IQ:  I guess     we' re total foolios to think we can change them.  So do we change us?      High-Five: So, like,  you mean how far will we go to get thin?    Vibe: I fasted for three days once.  I didn't lose any weight.  It all came back when my Mom made me eat mucho food  'cause I, like, passed out.   High-Five:  I want to be a model.  I'll have to diet 24/7/365.  It's way hard.    411:  I exercise a lot, but I'm awful at dieting.  I get so hungry!    Vibe:  How  'bout you, Suzy IQ?  How far would you go to get thin?    Suzy IQ:  I don't know ...and not knowing is what scares me.

                                    How far would  YOU  go to look superthin?
