Teenager Jewel Moore has started an online petition to try to get Disney to feature "Plus Sized" princesses in Disney movies.

Jewel, who is a plus sized girl herself said, "I made this petition because I'm a plus-size young woman, and I know many plus-size girls and women who struggle with confidence and need a positive plus-size character in the media,"Studies show that a child's confidence correlates greatly with how much representation they have in the media. It's extremely difficult to find a positive representation of plus-size females in the media."  according to People Magazine.

So far, 19,000 people have "signed" the petition.

Take a look at it here.
