How the media effects the young. Lets save our youth.!!!!
Lets review the facts here people. And lets be honest while we are at it. The media is literally shoveling bullshit down our throats every second, of every day. And we all know in some way, shape, or form its affecting us. So lets imagine how this is affecting our youth. If there’s one thing about this humanity that makes my skin crawl and causes me to cringe in utter disgust, it’s the thought of these adolescent girls who are harming their bodies in order to fit into what society demands as “beautiful”. And as adults we all know that even though we may all get corrupted and buy into what the media feed us, we can distinguish the truth from all the lies. Well most of us can…. Well I guess I try. Either way we have to find a way to put a stop to this. I have two young nieces who I constantly worry about. I never want to see them get caught up in all this. I DON’T WANT ANY YOUNG LADY TO GET BRAIN WASHED BY THE MEDIA. Beauty is not based on what the media says.
I mean seriously lets look at Paris Hilton, can we honestly say she’s beautiful? She’s fake in every way. And I’m not just talking about her outer appearance. She’s fake as hell on the inside as well. Is that what we are trying to show our children? That being fake makes you gorgeous?. And I’m not trying to single out just Paris (even though I just did) She was just the first person that came to mind when I was attempting to come up with a particular example of a BAD IDOL. There’s so many other celebrities that these young girls admire. Most are just as shockingly deficient. And lets face it… none of them should be “idol” material. Yet we let them have the fame and the adoration of our children. WHY? I mean honestly… We as the people have to take some of the blame for this. We let our children get affected. (to a degree, we cant prevent everything) We let them buy into all this. Sometimes because we buy into it. With all the diet pills and the constant fear of aging… getting fat.. Having the latest trends… etc. We just show our young ladies that you have to be thin, look a certain way, and act a certain way in order to “live life happily” ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? woah, woah, woah!! Can we take a few GIANTGANTIC steps back… and go over this again? I’m not even sure I just heard myself correctly …. We live in a society that says it is acceptable to be an individual. We live in a country where we are permitted freedom of speech. Yet, we all want to be the same because same is perfect? Why? Do we want a bunch of Brittany spears running around? Brittany is a good example of how all those things DO NOT result in happiness. She had it all,.. The body.. The money. The looks. The sex appeal. The fame.. The everything! And well, we were all there when she fell… AND SHE FELL HARD!
- The diet industry is worth about 40 to 100 billion dollars… yet so many are going hungry and dying of starvation every single day…. hmmm
I think that what really brings ultimate happiness is being yourself. Instead of constantly focusing on our weight and all the various diets. We should educate our children about health and exercise and the short term and long term benefits from it. Lets stop feeding our children candy, pop and fast food. And lets stop feeding ourselves that as well. Lets set an example for our future adults. We don’t need to deprive ourselves of it. But eat and drink less of it. From my own experience… diets do not work. Unless your looking to be completely immersed into it for every second of your existence while be absolutely desolate doing it. If that’s what you oh so desire then have at it!!
Lets change the way we think. Lets show the media that we will not let them manipulate us. Nor our younger generations. ESPECIALLY OUR YOUNGER GENERATIONS!
- Studies show that weight is irrelevant to how healthy you are. Unless considered obese your underweight.
(OH YEAH! that reminds me of another point id like to make…. Eating healthy is definitely easier said then done… Our food stores carry over priced healthy foods, and cheap junk food. Whats up with that? I mean are you feeling me on this? We get preached to eat better but half our nation is also on food stamps. I mean c’mon here… isn’t that a little fucked up? Just a side thought….)
“Be yourself, don’t take anyone’s shit, and never let them take you alive.” - Gerard Way
So I just want to say that I, myself, am not perfect. I too struggle with self image everyday. Just like everyone else. I’m always trying to lose that “extra ten pounds”. But at the same time I don’t let the media control me by letting them con my brain into thinking that I have to be some walking stick figure. Even ten pounds less I’m not “skinny” Id like to call myself average. And I can honestly say I’m content with that and very much secure with that. And that’s what is really my main point for all the young women… you just need to be secure with how you are. And who you are. Its okay to improve your body. But only by doing it the healthy way. Good exercise. Good food. Lots of sleep. Plenty of water.. And… NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU ANY DIFFERENT…YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL…. Fuck what the media says… Fuck the pressure of what society thinks. Just live life and be happy!!!
STAY BEAUTIFUL LOVELYS!!!!

Yes you right we should. Sometimes it's hard for people to be themselves though because they fear being judged or looked at differently. So many of us conform to whatever everyone else is doing. The media just likes to sub-consciously tell us something is wrong with us and therefore do certain things like buy shit we don't need or become a skinny weenie. But like everything else trying to feel beautiful without listening to the media takes work. But once you see they are all about business and don't care about shit but your money people will see that and probably feel a bit more beautiful about themselves I think.
