Of course it does. It's no question. Some are just less affected by it than others.

Some people let it influence them, others aren't influenced at all.

Unfortunately, yes.

I'll admit that I am heavily influenced by the media, and celebrities, all that kind of stuff.

I wouldn't dye my hair black because someone I idolise did, I wouldn't go anorexic because a celebrity I like is. Celebrities influence my entertainment, my clubbing, my fashion (clothes, shoes, things like that), where I eat, my lifestyle (hobbies, entertainment, brands, etc), but not my body. If I want to go to the gym, it's because I want to. If I want to gain 50kg, it's because I want to (not that I ever would, I'm just saying).

I believe so, Alot Of Girls and Guys look at Celebs and asked themselves Why can't i be like that, Why don' t I have the body like that. :\

Not for me.
I tend to fall into eating disorders because
I'm not happy and that's my way of getting
noticed. I guess.

Yes they do and i am one of those people for example fashion and how i live my life. And i suppose with the eating disorders thing i fall into that just because i want to be thin and it just seems like a way to get skinny, but now i have realised taht it is bad and im trying to change that but it is so hard.

No, I don't really even pay attention to celebrities anyway.

People went out fighting after seeing films like Rocky and Green Street lol so ya they do influence us but as that girl above said so are more influenced than others because they are easily lead, weak minded

i think they influence people to an extent.

but who are celebrities to decide how we live our lives. i dunno it kinda annoys me abit how theires always celebs on front covers of mags with like "such and such is overweight" so what, not everyone has to be perfect

I don't think so, they blame celebrities because of the people with no brain who just follow the pack.

And the pack leader is that little thing we know as Hollywood.

yup

media is the main culprit

You can't really blame them... it's not as if they hold you at gun point.
