What they don’t know is ... Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

A girl thinks she has to be thin
A boy thinks he has to be ripped
A woman thinks her stretch marks must go
A man thinks his hair should be thick

She wants to be a supermodel
He wants to be popular among the girls
She wants to land a husband that’ll stay
He wants to look younger

What they don’t know is

Her curviness adds to her sensuality
His lankiness is quite appealing
Her stretch marks are a badge of motherhood
His fading hair shows wisdom

Media glamorizes beauty to a point that is impossible to attain
Seeing people hurt themselves to be like that is a big pain
Since when has being yourself been a crime
Beauty from the heart has been fashionable from time
Being a certain way is not ‘in’
It’s all about your beauty from within.

Great writting girl... keep it up! But what do you mean with "A boy thinks he has to be ripped"? Thanks for posting!
