As a child, kids are influenced by everything around them. And this type of ad that we are looking at right now sends a very bad messege to young children. They give the misconseption that everyone needs to look and be a certain way. There is already a pressure to be a certain way in the media and now to get a barbie and have her be overweight, now that is obviously targeting children, and they are going to feel a pressure to be thin. The quote that is discussed is such an eye opener, because kids said that being overweight is worse than haveing some kind of dissability. On the other hand being overweight can lead to obesity. So the messeges that need to be sent out asr the messeges to just to be healthy.
