Post #2: Anorexia and BBD Is The Way To Go

     




   Maybe she is born with it Maybelline. I just spent the past two hours convincing a friend that she is gorgeous. Okay, so she is 5’9; has long chocolate brown hair, sea green eyes and white sparkly diamonds that she insists are her teeth. She can never walk anywhere without getting gawked at by half of the teen masculine population of my dear island of Puerto Rico. After a few years of “motivational” forcing from her mothers part to join the modeling world, she decided to go to a casting. The first casting went terribly wrong, but after a few of them she became quite requested. In the specific occasion she was at a photo shoot for Maybelline cosmetics, she noticed the photographer was shaking his head. She walked up to the fat pig to ask him if she was doing everything correctly according to his standards, but instead of getting a response all she got was a close up picture of her pores. He then proceeded to belch out for the whole world to know that her pores were as big as the Grand Canyon and that she should consider a nose job and a personal trainer while she was at it. SHE IS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD! To what the world has come to! A girl who is barely on her average weight, who wears a pound of make up to cover up her under eye circles created by her excessive exercising and poor sleeping patterns, who gave up her goals to please her manipulative mother. How can she be treated like this? I do believe one should strive for perfection but promoting anorexia and BBD (Body Dimorphic Disorder) is not the correct way to do it. She was born with it Maybelline. 

Post #1: Introduction

    What is a blog? A blog is a website in the Internet where people "gather" to record opinions and information. The English teacher in the high school I go to proposed the idea of writing a blog for her class everyday, for a few days and thought it to be one of a good experience. I, personally, love to write. Writing helps express what some won't dare say out loud, it gives a voice to every single person who is alphabetized. Writing is a self-expression that can never be dimmed; it is the most passive way to communicate with others. Having the privilege of knowing how to read and right is something that many take for granted. I don't believe I’m in that group; I use this gift to the maximum potential. Listening to someone read his or her thoughts and ideas gives you a glimpse of how the person really is. Why do you think diaries exist and are so popular? Blogs are a sort of public diaries. Blogs can keep from cooking recipes to personal opinions to politics to art. It’s a very versatile way to implement what is “in” which is globalization. I would have created a blog sooner but I don't have the amount of time to keep it up to date, still I admire those who dedicate themselves to do this. My English teacher had a great idea for this project yet I don’t believe people fully realize how necessary learning how to write correctly, how to create such simple things help in your college life and professional life and heck, your day to day life.
