Stop Shaming Women For Being Different Than You

Bring each other up. Do not tear each other down.

An explosion of response articles came out when a writer decided to address girls who were wearing such revealing swimsuits and another writer addressed “YETI butts” as not having self-respect. Nonetheless, we are living in the 21st century where women are finally speaking up for what they believe in and exercising their freedom of speech, so why do so many women still find the need to shun other women because of their beliefs or actions?

I, personally, will never know. With all the Women’s March becoming so prevalent, we need to start accepting all women and their ways. Women need to stick together. We already have men tearing us down, do we really need other women doing the same? I do not think so.

Those articles that are bringing down women are just meant to shame then, but to what expense? Do you, as a writer of those articles, really feel more empowered because you just bashed a certain type of woman?

We live in a society that has been belittling women since the beginning of time because we are the “lesser being.” Therefore, we have to fight twice as hard to stay above water. With us already struggling to prove we are just as equal as men, there is no need for women shaming women.

Honestly, why do you care so much that a woman is wearing cheeky swimsuits or taking pictures of their butts? It really is not hurting you in any way. I can understand that it gives women a bad reputation that girls do that, but if you do not like it, then just do not give in to the trend. If you are concerned about what exposure like this will do to young girls, do not worry. Let their parents worry about it.

All women need to stop shaming each other for what they wear. Let that confidence show in a way that you feel comfortable doing it. To me, you’re not disrespecting yourself because you wear a two piece to the beach.

Let us stick together and bring each other up . We are all different and have gone through various difficulties in life. Because of that, celebrating differences is the bests thing we can do. Wear what you want, express yourself the way you feel comfortable and always remember, looks fade and knowledge stays.

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.
