I got into a conversation with my roommate last night about society.
Society makes girls and women believe that have to look, dress, and act a certain way.
One big issue society has made girls face is eating disorders. Most girls today believe they have to be a size 0 and weigh no more than 100 pounds, but let's face it. Bones protruding out of your body in a sickly way are NOT beautiful.
I think she's beautiful and she even has curves.
There are girls that are naturally skinny that feel the same way a heavier girls do. They eat and eat but can never gain weight.
But girls that are a healthy weight but believe they need to be skinnier? No. Society is failing us.
And the saddest part? We can't fix society until we help ourselves fix how we think.
I have to agree...for me it's the person within that makes the person beautiful. If they care about themselves, have a joyous sould, and happiness, then that is what counts most.
ReplyDeleteAbout the sickness of not eating as one doesn't feel their body looks right I have read that no matter what culture or society you come from there are similar percentages of people who find themselves not feeling good about their body type. Now I'm not saying that this means that a lot of places in this country don't contribute to this, but I also have to say it is an illness that happens to certain people as well, and our society just adds on top of what is already there. I hope that makes sense. Oh...by the way...this is snoogaloo from dA :)
Take care,
