The Representation Project found that on average, teens are exposed to 10 hours and 45 minutes of media, in all its forms, every day. Perhaps as a result, 81 percent of 10-year-olds have an intense fear of getting “fat.” Fifty-three percent of girls as young as 13 are unhappy with their bodies, and by the time they reach 17, that number jumps to 78 percent. In the United States, women spend between $12,000 and $15,000 on salon visits and beauty products, and from 1997 to 2007, plastic surgery for teenagers under 19 has tripled. We are, without a doubt, living in a society obsessed with perfection.
