Women Like Us

By Amanda Prowse 

Question 9

I find adverts play a big part in the world we live in nowadays, especial when it comes to beauty, fashion and body image. For as long as I can remember you never seen anyone that was more than a size 6/8/10, long legs and the perfect body and the men were no better. 

It's only been in the last few years that the adverts have shown that we are all different, but we are all beauty inside and out. It's good to see that they are shown more about mental health and it's not just women, men do suffer from this as well.

 I think there is still so much pressure put on us, especially at different times of the year/holidays. At Christmas there is so much pressure put on parents as the child wants all the toys they is because they look great on television, but when they get them it's noting like the adverts. At the moment it's buy this as it's Valentines coming up, this wasn't something you would of normally done years ago, maybe a card and some flowers, now it's jewellery and perfume/aftershave.
