What behaviors does this person demonstrate to show that they are healthy?

Layne Beachley has won 7 world titles in 9 years and then more than 10 years later ( after retiring) won another world title.

She won these titles from being strong, working hard, and determined. She wanted to be a world champion when she was 8 years old, and she didn’t stop until she was. She would have been very focused during that time in her life.

She is now a role model for many young kids who want to be surfers.

Now she is no longer surfing, she gives a lot of time to many charities and is the chairperson for Surfing Australia.

She concentrates on mental health issues, as she went through some of her own issues, even when she was a world champion and the best surfer in the world.

That makes me feel that these issues can happen to anyone and I am inspired by her as she was an AMAZING surfer but also gives back to the issues that happened to her

What do they look like? Are they healthy? How do you know?

 Layne Beachley looks like the poster surfer girl. She has blonde/brown hair and blue eyes and I think when she was younger and on the surfing tour, there would not have been very many times she didn’t have a board under her arm. She said all she did was surf. She loved it. The surf culture is a very healthy one for keeping fit.

She is very fit looking and has maintained her healthy body through her healthy diet and lifestyle. She has a sun-kissed tan, and looks very natural, with no plastic surgery or big lips.

What message does this person promote? Why is it inspiring and healthy?

Even though she does not surf anymore – she is still a role model to many girls as she fought so hard and went through a lot in her personal life to win all her titles.

Layne says her mantra is: I am Happy, Healthy, Fit, and Strong”. I like this as all these things are really important in being a good role model.

Not many people mention being happy, Layne has spoken openly about her depression so being Happy, Fit, Healthy and Strong are important to her – both mind and body!

She now helps girls across Australia reach their goals and set up the “Aim for the Stars” Foundation. She also has a website called “Awake Academy” to help people live to their potential.

Layne uses her own personal experience to help others. That is very inspirational.

Kim Kardashian

What behaviors does this person demonstrate to show that they are unhealthy?

Kim Kardashian concentrates too much on her appearance and what people think about her. She is always looking for the best image to post, so that people think she has an amazing life.

While she does work hard to make her image well recognized around the world, they would have no personal time away from cameras.

Kim K has also spent a lot of money on plastic surgery and she does not look real. This shows girls not a real image of what a healthy person looks like. As its not healthy to have plastic surgery.

I think she is a little self-obsessed.

Although the family has helped and donated to homeless charities in the past, there always seems to be a camera and an Instagram post about it whenver it is done. I wonder if it is done because she cares or she wants to be seen as caring.

Considering she is worth 1.8 billion US dollars, I thought she would defiantly do more to give back to the community.

What do they look like? Do they look unhealthy? How do you know?

Kim Kardashian does not look real. She has a huge amount of plastic surgery to her nose, boobs and bottom. Some say she has had a nose job and she has defiantly had botox and fillers.

Her before and after photos are sad – as I think she was very pretty before she had all these jobs done.

I do not think it is a very healthy image as a normal girl could not achieve her look. This is because she is always putting photos when she is perfect with full make up and she has had had plastic surgery to change all the parts of her body that she thought were not perfect.

Her face has changed a lot over the years so this makes me believe that she has had some plastic surgery. Also I think she has had something done to her bottom as its very big ( not in a bad way – but it still does not look very good).

Her boobs are too big as well and sometimes come out of her top. This is not attractive.

What message does this celebrity promote? Why is it unhealthy?

She promotes the high life and gives off the impression that all girls should live like this. She makes young people wish they were her.

She does this by flashing her materialistic items all over her socials eg holidays, cars, designer clothes, designer shoes & handbags.

Most of these items are not affordable for everyday people.

She tries to promote that she lives a healthy life and that the body she has is through hard work, but she got plastic surgery and procedures done for her face to look perfect.

She regularly gets caught out posting images that she has digitally enhanced to make herself look curvier. She has even had photos removed off Instagram for not prompting healthy images as they have been digitally altered. She thinks a tiny waist and big bottom and boobs is a healthy attractive body, but, this is not something that anyone can achieve by going to the gym a lot and eating healthy.

Do you think young people should look up to this person as a role model? Why or why not?

I don’t think people should look up Kim Kardashian as I think she promotes a life that is not sustainable for every day people. I don’t think you could look like her without having plastic surgery and she uses lots of bad words that should not be used. I think young people who look up to her will have a hard time with body image.

So l don’t think that Kim K is the best influencer towards young people.

Is everything you hear, read or see in the media true? Discuss.

In regard to role models, unless it’s in an interview and it comes out of their mouth, I don’t think you should believe it.

All images are made to look amazing. Products are promoted by celebrities because the celebrities get paid to do it, many do not even use the products that they advertise.

Newspapers and magazine get sued by actors and Actress all the time for writing articles that are not written on facts and have a lot of lies in them.

This is sad, as when you read the article you think it is true and you want to buy the product, take the holiday or buy the car – you assume what you read or watch on the TV is fact,.

I think the media needs to be more careful and more accountable for what they write or show.
