About Me

I dont know how this writing stuff will go for me but I decided I'll try it out. About me... hmmm... Well I guess i should start with my name, which is Diana Reveron. If you talk to me in person you probably would notice my accent very easily; that's because I am from Venezuela and I speak Spanish. I love to dance, I guess thats one of the descriptions of a hispanic since we all love dancing. I have a really weird best friend that gets excited when she accomplishes something weird, like doing strange stuff on the floor right at this moment. I have the most amazing boyfriend that could ever exist and he makes me the happiest girl in the world.

Girls see over 400 ads a day telling them how they should look

I wrote my research paper about the media's impact on girls and decided to share what I learned with you because I think that this is a very serious situation that is making many girls feel insecure, depressed and some even go as far as commuting suicide. We live in a world where the ideal body is like a stick person, and everyone wants to be Barbie.

1. Girls, don't believe this kind of advertisements.
2. The majority of them aren't even real, don't you know what Photoshop can do?
3. Don't compare yourself to the women in these ads, half of them have eating disorders such as anorexia, since many of them only eat plain lettuce and water every week. Many of these women are going through depression. Don't become like one of them.
4. Embrace your own shape and size, don't listen to what ads say, "lose weight, tips on losing weight, diets"... Blah blah blah.
5. It is absolutely impossible to achieve the ideal body that magazines portray; girls, these aren't real natural bodies.
6. Beauty=Personality, confidence, happiness and being you!
7. Barbie is just a doll!

  1. Interesting - but then how is one blog going to tackle the CONSTANT, thumping brainwashing that is ~400 subtle hints every single day?

    The point is that it can't. Adverts which are no doubt created, designed and implemented by men.
