Write a précis of the following passage: Body shaming is one of the biggest problems in today’s generation. Society doesn’t just find humor in degrading a woman’s body; they also find humor in degrading a man’s body. Body shaming has become a problem for both genders. People take their own insecurities and aim them at other people to make themselves feel better about their own body. Body shaming, while common in both genders, is especially harmful to women. Body shaming is causing teens nowadays to be insecure. People, with pure intentions of insulting someone, constantly throw around “her body is so flat,” and “He’s fat, that makes him so ugly,” and “you need to lose weight.” Nobody chooses the body they have. Everyone is born into that body without a choice. If someone is healthy then it should not matter what they look like to anyone but their own. What is a “perfect body”? Magazines put the spotlight on thin girls, and for the most part cancel out girls that are not a size 0. This is to make a picture of the “perfect body”. That is not realistic. Society has created this image that the “perfect body” is a body someone must have or he/ she is shut out, meaning people see their body negatively. “If people learn that everybody is human on the inside, then they will realize that they are human on the outside and they will stop judging other people’s bodies,” Tyler T. said. We should not be body shaming. We should be motivating, supporting, and encouraging each other. Until everyone realizes that, body shaming will continue to be an issue. Body shaming is an issue that will not be solved unless everyone learns how to accept their own body, and until magazines quit perpetuating this myth of a perfect body.
