Pressures

Mary-Kate Olsen struggled with an eating disorder three years ago. As a celebrity many feel that she has the perfect life. She was loved as a child and just as much as a teen. She is rich and has it all. That is not always the case. Fame and wealth does not mean happiness. It is not everything to most celebrities. Poeple don't know what they are talking about especially when they are not celebrities. It cannot be easy being followed and trying to be perfect all the time.  Obviously, she was not happy with herself if she had a mental disease. The press is constantly following her when she has an issue. It just doesn't seem fair. This video upset me because it kept asking questions like "is this beauty?" They were saying she was so beautiful and how she looks is not beauty. Yes, they said she's not on her own and others are going through it, but they should be encouraging and trying to help. I even feel they should be leaving her alone because they are only making her problems worse by publicizing them. I'm sure media to begin with was part of what caused her problem in the first place. Many people feel that being skinny is what makes someone beautiful, but that is not true. Beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes. I am so glad Mary-Kate Olson is good and healthy now.
