Images

Everywhere you go there are images of people. Magazines, TV, brouchers, books, the internet, school, work...the list goes on and on! America trys to conform people. Every time you look at pictures from the media, even something local, you see "beautiful people." Well at least the media's idea of beautiful.
The sad thing is young women and even men see these things and they think that is what they need to look like. Even very young children, the cartoons these days are just insane. Artists draw girls super skinny and with hardly any clothes on. These children watching are just kids...come on now!
I'm 20 and I of course watch TV shows that have these super thin beautiful girls. So I tell my boyfriend, "Honey I'd look perfect too if I had someone do my hair, make-up and pick my clothes. But I don't want to be like them, I'm me!" I know I'm not perfect, neither are those so called "perfect people." I am me....so just be you. People are drawn to confidence, so show everyone that you don't care what the media says, that picture you see in the mall, what size your jeans are...God made you that way for a reason so enjoy the gift of life!
