Pop culture and today's society

Pop culture is something the majority of teenage girls are obsessed with. In today's society, there are girls starving themselves of nutrition so they can't even function and some girls even die from it, just because they want to have the 'right figure'.

High school girls wake up at 5:00 Am just because they have to have their hair 'just so'. I think that girls especially have it hard. We see time and time again magazines and adds with the perfect body and we fool ourselves into thinking that we have to have it.

I knew a girl who was just a normal sweet little girl. She lived in a Christian home and believed in God. She started to get older and around the age of thirteen, she began buying expensive clothes, wearing makeup and spending a little more time on her hair, things that are perfectly fine, but she became obsessed with the way she looked.

Every time she went to the mall she would spend hundreds of dollars because she "didn't have any clothes that her friends hadn't seen yet." It got out of hand, she stopped caring about her family, turned away from God, and moved to Toronto, working as a makeup artist and doing things that no girl should ever do.

It is easy to be drawn into what the world tells us we have to be, perfect in figure, perfect hair, perfect skin.

Nobody is perfect.

I think that we shouldn't be so concerned with the what the celebrities are wearing, doing or driving. They are just people trapped in a world where they can't just take a day off at the beach, go shopping at the mall with a couple friends without being suffocated with people they don't even know stretching our their hands to touch them or snap a shot. I think we should just be ourselves.

That is enough
