TV vs. Reality
Why is it that all television is used for is to make people think that they're not good enough unless they look exactly as people on shows do. That meaning that you think you have to be a size 00, blonde hair, big boobs, tan and own a tiny dog. Who honestly looks like that? The answer: nobody. Nobody does and nobody should feel like they have to either. The only thing that is partially real on TV is the news and that's not even 100% truth anymore. When I see people on TV talking about losing weight when they are already too thin it makes me think I have to be like that too even though I know I don't. What idea does this put into the minds of little kids? That's where the insecurities start. Little girls see this stuff and think they're ugly because they don't look like that at all. Aside from weight/look issues, TV makes it seem like having sex and getting pregnant at an early age is no big deal. No, actually they make it seem fun. My sister had a baby at 15 so she has realised that the truth is that being a young mother before you finish high school is harder than it looks. Girls, you don't have to have sex to be in a relationship. Whatever happened to a little thing called old-fashioned? Old in the name doesn't make it anything less than better than modern ways. Waiting until marriage to have sex is still very worth the wait. On the other hand, I've never had a boyfriend or my first kiss. What does that make me in Todays society? A freak. Its not as acceptable to most people anymore to be 18 years old and never been in a relationship. I don't know why TV influences the idea of having to go so far before even the age of 13 but that's what they do. Is it THAT weird to want to wait for the right guy to date instead of dating any guy that asks? And is it crazy to want to wait until marriage to have sex? I think not. Maybe I'm the only girl in this planet who doesn't believe in sex-at-first-sight instead of love-at-first-sight but if I am, so be it. I don't think just because its on TV that it has to be the way I think, look and live. I'm my own person who has more commonsense than the average slut. Girls, be your own person! And guys, don't think girls are all suppose to be disgustingly skinny, blonde and big boobed. Love who you are and embrace it.
