Girls Need To Learn To Love Each Other

Why can't women lift each other up instead of bring each other down?

I've always wondered why girls feel the need to tear each other down knowing how bad it hurts when someone does it to them. Is it cause the lack of esteem in oneself that they feel the need to bring someone else down to come out on top or is it cause they truly like the feeling of hurting someone? Either way as women, we need to learn to love ourselves and respect one another.

Most women have had at least one 'mean girl' in their past, that has either put them down or socially tormented them. Women who feel as if your a competition tend to be the main ones who feel the need to bring you down.

With that being said, It is truly sad that this generation wants to hurt people rather then make them feel good about themselves. As being women, we know how hard it is dealing with our self image issues and being able to actually love our self.

These magazines and social media pages, show young girls the 'ideal look' and how they need to look in order to be loved or to matter to society. This make these girls feel the need to starve themselves just to matter to the world or so they aren't made fun of for being 'fat'.

These girls then grow up having huge insecurities and believe that no matter what they do, they aren't good enough. It's not fair for women to experience depression because another girl made them feel worthless just to make themselves feel better.

This girl on girl hatred needs to stop, instead of bringing each other down, we need to lift each other up. If you feel another women is pretty or you like her outfit, tell her because that might just be the one thing that'll make her day.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
