Interesting Study On Women's Body Image & A Woman In Need Of Help

I think we all deal with body Image in our own way. Some women struggle a little more than others for self acceptance. Three things came up in the news that I found interesting today. In one story, Dove did a study to see how a mother's insecurities have an effect on her daughter.

Another report talked about the new thing in body enhancement, temporary breast augmentation. One other report showed how long it took for people to try and help a naked woman walking down the street in San Francisco.

Dove is doing something called the Self Esteem Project, and they've started a new campaign. What it shows is how a mother's own insecurities can transfer over to her daughter, and she may not even realize the effect she's having on that little girl.

So, just a simple comment about how your legs look or your hair can transfer over to her. When you are talking about your weight, it can be something your daughter picks up on too. The study asked the mothers what they didn't like about themselves, then asked their daughters. The results were fascinating as their daughters many times cited the same thing about themselves.

Another report revealed that some doctors are now offering temporary breast enhancement for women. A woman can go in for one of these appointments. The procedure takes about a half an hour and then she can enjoy the results.

However, the effects only last for about 24 hours before your size returns to normal. Doctors were using this as a way to show a women how she would look before deciding whether she wanted to go through with a permanent enhancement. The cost for a temporary enhancement? $2500. I suppose it's nice if you can afford it. You can enjoy it for one night out on the town.

The final story is more about how most people ignored a woman in need. In an Episode of KRON 4 News, Stanley Roberts reported about a woman who walked the streets of San Francisco in the nude. Stanley, being the channel's resident Boy Scout, followed her with a camera while asking people to call 911 as he saw them.

Nobody offered to help her. People just gawked at her and snapped pictures as she walked by. Was she part of the nudist community that has been fighting for clothing optional rights? Nope. Actually, she was distraught about something.

Eventually, help arrived thanks to the two people who called for help during the ordeal. One of the things they got out of her was that she was headed for the bridge. Lord knows what may have happened had she made it. Fortunately, at least somebody cared enough to call for help.
