Why We Need To Cut It Out With The Body Shaming

Body shaming does nothing but bring people down.

Why We Need To Cut It Out With The Body Shaming
thesun.co.uk

In this day in time, we are always worried about everyone else other than ourselves. We judge everyone else that is different than us because deep down inside, we find something intriguing about them and we feel we cannot be nice to one another.

Stop body shaming ‘bigger’ girls when they decide to work up the nerve to wear that two-piece bathing suit. They already feel like they are out of place, there is no need to keep staring at them and wondering why she is wearing it. Go over to her and tell her that she looks awesome and she is beautiful just the way that she is.

Stop body shaming the ‘skinny’ girls when they wear a bikini. No matter how you interpret ‘too skinny’ there is no need to judge someone that fits your criteria. There may be those girls who work out five days a week and cannot be anything but skinny. There are girls who have higher metabolisms, but that is no reason to judge them for it.

Stop body shaming the girls who are wearing the cheeky bikini bottoms. No, these bottoms are not for everyone. But there are some girls who love the way they look in them. We all have certain things that we wear that some people may not like but that does not mean we go and change. There is no point in shaming someone who feels good in what they are wearing.

Stop body shaming the guy that is a little bit bigger than you prefer. There is probably a girl out there who loves him for who he is and not for his looks. Some people are just born big.

Stop body shaming the guy who is ‘skin and bones’. There also is someone who loves him just the way he is. There is no point in shaming someone for something that they cannot control. Some people are just born smaller than others.

Stop body shaming the girls that are a different color than you. Everyone was made in their own special way and shaming them for how they were born, is ridiculous. We are all God's children and that means that we are all brothers and sisters. We need to love one another no matter what color.

In our world, we are always focused on finding something negative about someone. Every time you go to say something negative about someone's image, change it and think about something positive. You don’t have to say this positive thing to them, but knowing that there is one less person out there body shaming, makes the world a better place. God made us all how He wanted us to be, and we need appreciate every beautiful creature He has made.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
