Okay. So I am a very particular person. If given the chance I could probably spend hours talking about the things I don't like about my face and body. For some reason I thought this was natural. But after watching Miss Representation I realized how horrible it is. I never knew any of the facts that we saw and I must say I was appalled. I was really scared to find out how many people have eating disorders, anxiety, or depression. I think that as kids we are taught to look, dress and act a certain way. So when we grow up it seems okay to judge everyone based on if they fit the criteria of "beautiful".
Okay... I am going to do something that I have never done before. I am going to post a piece of my poetry. This is new to me so I hope that it is well received...
Kaitlin - thank you for being brave enough to share. This is an AMAZING blog post. I think that you have shown that you are willing to go outside of your comfort zone. Which is awesome! You should be very proud:) Keep it up.
