In the documentary‚ Dying to be Thin‚ dancers and regular people are asked about the pressure to be thin. This video has taught me that in our society being extremely skinny is considered beautiful.

September 20‚ 2013 The Life of an Athlete It was a Saturday morning; I could hear the birds flying overhead‚ and the girls complaining of being too tired to practice. We were awake before sunrise‚ standing out on that field ready to practice. Maybe not so much awake as we were so close to sleeping on the floor.
