is this a good start to my essay about anorexia?

I have chosen to write about a compelling argument currently overtaking our news papers, magazines and media; the growing craze to be skinny and the pressure which is imposed upon us. This pressure is unfortunately resulting in young teens having to live and battle with eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia. Although it seems women are naturally insecure about their image the media most definitely contributes. The glossy magazines we see in every day life are making women feel they have to compare their selves, and their bodies to other women. However not everybody is blaming the media for this unconscionable craze. I am going to be exploring, analysing and comparing two different articles about Anorexia and the reasons as to why we believe the pressure to be ‘size 0’ is so intense.
At one point in history, a woman of an average weight or even a tad overweight was considered healthy and wealthy. In today’s world, however, that ideal image has been changed and now girls and women all over the world suffer under the pressure to be skinny and lose weight. What had once been a symbol of wealth and prosperity is now looked down upon. This growing craze overtaking the present media is more than often what causes Anorexia and Bulimia, two physical and mental eating disorders that kill thousands of people each year. The reasons in which I have chosen to write about this particular subject is because, I feel that I could benefit from learning and exploring further into Anorexia, Bulimia and other eating disorders. I would like to teach others about the serious consequences which could be faced and open their eyes to the vast amount of people it affects.

…. are you the same girl who asked this question before with regards to comparing two different articles about anorexia or did you just happen to phrase your opening paragraph in almost exactly the same way? ;)

    First, you probably shouldn’t be using personal pronouns in your essay, unless the teacher said it was okay. Secondly, it is very long for an opening paragraph, but it has many good idea in it.

    very good topic choice.
    people need to understand super skinny, is not healthy, beautiful, or whatever they think it is.

    keep up the good work.
