Every piece of expert advice that I've seen about this subject recommmends avoiding such talk around young people, even if the comments aren't directed at the young person's body but at one's own (like "I'm starting to get a big butt and should cut back on sweets") or at someone else's (like "she's starting to get big thighs and should cut back on weights").

That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." The Velveteen Rabbit |
