Your findings don't surprise me at all. Even in the Elizabeth Smart case, I was looking at a post board and there were all kinds of comments about how she had gotten fat while kidnapped. Fat? Get real. This is a beautiful girl who was very slender at 14 and just starting to go through puberty. She appears to have matured a bit and is acquiring the normal curves that develop at that age. Does she have to remain a size 0 or 2 to be attractive in these people's eyes? For many, it seems so. Quite depressing. It does seem that the standards for teenagers have been raised to unreasonable expectations for many things.
