MEdia vs. school

The media has gotten us into a mess. Girls want to look their best, or what the media says is best. Girls crave to be extra thin, beautiful, and popular. I think that there is nothing wrong with wanting to look beautiful all the time, I just think its wrong when a pretty girl will look in the mirror and "ugh, I look like shit" because she doesnt look absolutely perfect. I have always been one of those girls, but I dont get caught up over it. Im not too focused on how people see me, especially at Stevenson. I think that all the girls are too caught up on how they look and trying to fit in that they have all formed to be the same person to keep friends. They laugh at stupid jokes, they talk shit about people they dont even know, and they live off the gossip they get during lunch. I have stayed as far away as I can from all of that, and I think that its worked. I have a better self image and I am genuinely happy with that. So the media does put pressure on girls, however there is more pressure from the girls at school to be thin, beautiful, and popular.
