It's all pathetic though. Girls, and again, not generalising, can slag off anything, and I think part of it is boredom, simply. Of course, not all girls are like this, but the celebrity culture of today plays a huge part in it.

Am I making any sense at all?

I know exactly what you mean I agree with you. Too much pressure on girls especially to look a certain way, to be a certain dress size and have perfect hair and makeup etc etc, and if you don't look that way you feel inferior, so I guess I can see where that mentality comes from. I just say **** it, I'm never going to look like Cheryl Cole ffs so make the best of what you have and be done with it lol. I can understand with young girls, perhaps being bullied and stuff for not fitting 'the norm' or what is 'desirable' according to the media, it must be tough.

As arista would say...

Sign of the times.
