well that's why it's important for girls (and boys) to have positive role models in real life. and that's where parents come in. If you let your children be raised by TV and media, then of course they will have issues. kids need positive role models in real life.
If you ignore your kids and the only real influence they have is what they see in our commercial world where everyone is a super model celebrity with airbrushing and special lighting and editing, then of course they will have unrealistic expectations for themselves.
That's a parenting issue though.
If your kid thinks what they see on TV is real, or that they need to live up to that standard, then you have done a crap job as a parent.
I know my parents did a good job because when i was growing up i hated all of that superficial crap. I laughed at the cheerleaders in my high school. I could spot a poseur from a mile away when i was growing up.
