1.Only Skinny is Beautiful
If your worse nightmare is to be heavy, you've got your priorities screwed up.
Only skinny is beautiful....can't say enough how much I disagre. I mean, yeah, it's important to be healthy, but every girl has a different shape. While a girl could be at a perfectly healthy weight, she may just have wide hips, or a wide rib cage, and thats not an issue of weight, but of build! Just because someone wears a size 10 does not mean they're fat, and DEFINATLY not unattractive! I say...shove it, society. I've heard a lot of my guy friends say they like their girls with a little meat on them. You could personally be a toothpick, thats no problem (unless you starve yourself, thats a bit of an issue) but if a girl has a donk, more power to her. I know a friend that looks skinny enough, but by looking at her you can't really tell she has broad shoulders and wears larges from retailers aimed twords teens. I remember feeling pressure to be tiny, so I'd squeeze into a size small from places like Hollister, then go to school sucking in my stomach all day long, being totally uncomfortable. Ugh, I'm so glad I'm over that-- I think it's kinda fun to tell guys I'm at nearly 140 pounds, haha, and it feels pretty uplifting to not be ashamed of it! Don't let a stuck-up trendy store tell you you're "Large" or (mock gasp) "Extra Large". Serisouly, the only judge of your size is your doctor. I'm happy with my weight, I'm at peace with myself. I try my best to eat healthy and run around to stay in shape, but I couldn't care any less if I need to buy a large if the medium isn't enough. I've learned that the only person that looks at the sizes on the inside of your jeans is YOU, so pick a pair of jeans that FIT, come on. Skinny may be what society tells you to be, but I say bump that!
Fab.
2. You Must Have a Boyfriend
Ugh, this one is annoying. To look interesting, attractice, or to "have a life" it's important to have a boyfriend, and to date around...that's what we're exposed to as teens. I've known SO many people that just date a guy because they're dying to have a relationship, even if they barely know the guy! Then they end up breaking up in a month. Pathetic. Personally, I don't want to call a guy my "boyfriend" unless I've known them on a friend level for like 6 months, I've met their friends, some of their family (perferably their parents, would be nice), I know their FULL name, their dreams and plans for the future, and most IMPORTANTLY, know that he is a man of God. It's sickening to me to think of teens that throw themselves out there, to some dork of a guy, just so they can have the title of a "couple". Ugh. At this point in my life I'm only interested in my personal life, I don't even want a boyfriend. I'm a freshman in college, I think that for the next 6 years I need to be selfish and do things for myself: spend time with my family and friends, STUDY, save money, grow in my faith, things like that. I don't want no guys telling me what I can and cannot do, asking me where I am, and stopping me from doing the things I want to do. Besides...I have my whole life to be in a relationship with a guy, why would I want to start right now? I'd much rather go on a "date" with my mom, or my best friend, and paint my nails. Read a book. Paint. Play the flute. Stuff I know I won't have much time for when I'm married and have a family. Like I said, who needs to start giving someone else all their time when you have the rest of your life?
Just sayin.
3. Be Into the Media
Um, I'm sorry...actually, no, I'm not. The "media" is bonkers if they think I'm going to be into people like Lady Gaga. Besides the fact that I do believe she has satanic messages in her music (it's interesting to research...Youtube it) she's just ridicuous. As a Christian, it's sooo important to be weary of what you're giving your attention to. What movies you're watching, what music you're listening to...the media throws crazy messages, some straight in plain view (think Lil Wayne) and some subliminal (Jay-Z, someone else who has satanic messages in his music) After a semester at my Christian university I've really learned to open my eyes to what I'm listening to. Ke$ha, who I used to claim as my "guilty pleasure" has a new song out where she talks about "Jesus on my necklace" then the song continues to talk about how slutty she is being. I don't want to watch a movie where they're just cussing the whole time. Spare me.
Eyeah...spare me.
