Indeed she is probably a very positive role model for young girls who are overweight. The other side of the debate are the potential health issues. Let me say first that I think her attitude and confidence is fantastic. Also, I can't comment on health because I have no idea of her lifestyle habits. I will say, however that underneath the wonderful attitude, we cannot and should not ignore the very real health risks associated with carrying too much weight.
I think that if you are going to be a heavier role model, you should strive to be a heavier role model who role models healthy living, too. My humble opinion states that you can preach both self-acceptance AND healthy living.
I think teens can get the wrong messages about being overweight and take a "Look at Nikki - she doesn't care about her weight, neither will I" approach and continue unhealthy habits that have lead to the excess weight in the first place.
That said, it would be refreshing if more girls took on attitude than most of the rail-thin young Hollywood actresses.
What do you think?
Have you seen "Huge"? What did you think?
Is Nikki a good role model for teens?
