Our society today

Hello there! My names Lara, I'm going to be posting about my opinions and things that relate to real life aswell as stardoll. I may do some make-up tutorials though :) I hate introductory posts so i'm just going to get on with my post! :)

This post is about our society today, and how everyone is heavily criticized. I was inspired by this status that one of my friends put on facebook - 

You eat, your fat - you don't eat, you're a freak.

You drink, your an alcoholic - you don't drink, you're a pussy.

You read, your a nerd - you don't read, you're stupid .

You let someone in, your easy - you don't let them in, your uptight.

You smoke, you think your cool - you don't smoke, you're a loser.

You've had sex, your a slut - you haven't had sex, you're frigid.

Wear make up, your a slag - you don't wear make up, you're ugly

This is saying that you can't win in your life and you'll never be perfect. Children are infuenced to grow up quickly. Children as young as eight are wearing make-up yet they have no need for it. I'm 12 and in my year, most people wear proper make-up to school. I wear mascara and a little powder. 

Young girls are pressured to wear make-up and then they over-do it therefore they get called 'slags' and 'sluts'. 

Vogue shoot - a bad example to young girls?

Issues such as anorexia have been caused by young people who are a little overweight or curvy being called 'fat'. People have lost their self-confidence. Being a 12 year-old girl in this society, i can tell you that you think its important how you look in this society. You hide any insecurities about yourself and lose your self-confidence. You want to be like those 'popular' girls.

We always want to change ourselves and parts of our body. Me, for instance, when i was younger i fell over and my front toot fell out. Unfortunately it was a adult tooth so its been stuck back in because i can't have a root canal filling until i'm 18. There is now a grey bit on the top of the tooth, i want that to disappear but i can't make it disappear, can i?

Emo/scene girl

The girl above would be seen as 'weird'. Her style wouldn't be accepted in our society. The pressure to look 'perfect' is overwhelming. Media is the main influence of these insecurities. Magazines and photos are edited to make the person look better yet most people don't realize this. Therefore they result to extreme measures to look as good as the people in the pictures. The problem is that the people in the pictures are just as 'imperfect' as everyone else. One girl even resulted to editing pictures of herself to make her look better. Nobody in our society can see the true beauty, just the beauty that is advertised.

Stardoll has its faults too. All its face shapes and face features are all so typically 'perfect'. The only blemishes on the skin you can get are freckles and moles, no red patches, dry patches or spots. Although the body sizes are good as they are typically curvy, not too skinny. I saw one girl complaining that the body shapes weren't 'skinny enough'. I was shocked, how has this girl been influenced?

Anyway, to wrap this post up, everyone in our world is highly criticized and its not right. People, especially teen girls, are very insecure about themselves and how they look.
