Week 6 guided response

I was recently browsing upon the Septemeber issue of Seventeen magazine, when I came upon an intresting article. The article was entitled "beat the body bullies," I felt like this topic really tied in with our research about bullying and Thirteen Reasons Why. This article states that everyone has a body critic, a person who points out a flaw or digs at the difference of your apperance that instantly makes you feel bad about yourself. Sometimes it can even be a close friend that shoots out compliments at your apperance but they feel more like slams. Complements like "That top is perfect for you, you can't even tell your flat" or "Wow you totally fill out that dress."Then everyone time you look at your body you pick out the flaws, the size of your hips, your chest. Women and young women everywhere should embrace thier size and love their body. God gave you that body for a reason, and you have two choices. Be your biggest critic or take what you got and embrace it! The article states that when hurtful words and insults are used against you like that you really take a minute to think about the person behind them. Usually the problem isn't you its them, they're insecure about themselves, so they use the insults to make them feel better. We need to make peace with our bodies, if we run around sulking about every little curve wheres that going to get us? We need to be happy and take it as it goes. Why try to fit into a size 0 when that is clearly not your body type or size. We're not that little girl anymore that can just slide into anything, everyone has a different body type. Go ahead grab whatever size fits those curves at work it girl!
