Response post: ShiYun

While going through Google Reader I came upon this quote from Shiyun that said,   
"Does our image really matter that much in our lives?"
With this quote, I feel that this is a very good question to ask with the society we live in today. To answer the question I will say that certain people feel their image is the most important thing in the world. Because people read magazines and books and watch movies, they see the body image that they think everyone should have. But what they fail to realize is that their body is perfect the way it is, but all they want is the perfect model body, that perfect skin, that long hair. I know for a fact that people's image is what drives them crazy, they get stressed out because they don't look like a model in the magazine, or because they don't have the body that a celebrity has.

IN the songs that we hear today, all they say is that they ant a girl with a big butt, and if they don't have a big butt then they are nobody's. I know that women and even girls get surgery to have big butts, or they wear pants thinking they will make them look like they have a butt, or they will wear the new underwear that have butt pads to make a person but look bigger. Another thing that drives people crazy to look good is they go on these diets that they think will help them, when in actuality they hurt them and even damage them for life. They become anorexic or because they feel they will get fat they will always throw up their food and become a bulimic. They have to have the perfect body, and they think people are lieing to them when they tell them they have the perfect body. Everyone around them sees they have a perfect body shape but they are so cought up in themselves that they can't see their beauty.
