Banning skinny models, a good idea or not?

Your comments:

“I think we should see normal healthy models. Seeing super skinny models gives people, especially children and teenagers a bad idea about their image. They think that to be attractive, you need to be skinny.”
Jeff, 15, High Wycombe

“I think that you don’t have to be a stick to look good. You’re better off just being slim. People say to me I shouldn’t eat so much, but I eat normal amounts! I do think that it’s a good idea to ban skinny models. Curvy people would make great models as well.”
Amy, 16, Cardiff

“Whoever said being a size zero is attractive is wrong. I personally do not find skinny models attractive at all! I think fashion would reach out to more women if the models weren’t the measurements of my younger sister.”
Bob, 15, Bedford

“I’m 16 but naturally skinny and very tall for my age. I eat well and eat far more than anyone else I know! I certainly don’t think skinny models should be kept away from modelling. If they ban underweight models from the catwalk I won’t get any work!”
Katherine, 16, Bourne

“Models should be the average weight and size, I’d say. Too thin models make people feel bad about themselves. Some girls might risk their lives to copy that look. It’s dangerous.”
Sophia, 17, Barnstaple

“I think catwalks should have models of normal shapes and sizes. Then people watching would feel more confident with whatever their body size or shape is.”
Charlotte, 15, Walsall
