Teenage Girls Starving Themselves To Get Model-Like 'Thigh Gap'
Teenage girls are apparently starving themselves to achieve what many underweight models have: a "thigh gap."
The "thigh gap" is the space between a very skinny woman's legs where they don't touch above the knees.
They specifically often try and emulate the bodies of stick thin models like Cara Delevingne or Eleanor Calder, the girlfriend of One Direction's Louis Tomlinson.
This is all circling back to the internet problem of thinspiration or thinspo.
Twitter took measures to try and stop these kinds of negative inspirational images from spreading by banning hashtags like #proanorexia and #thinspiration.
Though it's not like girls can't just google that stuff and find it anyway.
What needs to happen is women in the limelight need to help promote a healthier body image.
So even though Twitter has removed over 30,000 images of graphically skinny women, it still might not be enough.
Girls need to know they're beautiful at any weight!

Women have been wanting thinner thighs for centuries.
Also, you don't have to starve yourself to get a thigh gap - that is pure rubbish. Books like 'The thigh gap hack' promote effective and healthy ways, as well as lists the do's and don'ts, to getting slimmer thighs
I have the tigh gap, I was born skinny and I eat like a lot.
I never understood this. I never personally found it attractive at all. It looks kinda creepy, TBH.
it's eating disorder awareness week! you should bring more awareness with facts and helplines perez!
*in the UK. It will be in the US next week. Hope you post about it
What the hell? You start off by calling cara 'stick thin' and then say ”girls need to know they are beautiful at any weight'… So what's wrong with cara then? You need to learn that naturally skinny girls get upset when you comment on their weight as well you know, it's not their fault they were born that way. I don't see why it's offensive to call a woman 'fat', but as soon as someone calls a girl 'stick thin' everyone's okay with it, society is fucked
