"The Emperor Has No Balls" Featuring Donald Trump

Statue of Trump creates controversy about body shaming and politics.

"The Emperor Has No Balls" Featuring Donald Trump

Donald Trump is a presidential candidate and is one of the top most discussed people around the world these days. Everyone I have talked to is not exactly his biggest fan, so I am not sure how he got to be the cream of the crop for presidency, but right now this is what the nation is dealing with. Who do we vote for? What will happen for the future? Discussions such as these can include some comedy or derogatory. This is typical toward an issue and decision such as the next president of the United States.

Butt-naked Trump has been revealed and brings emotions towards the public eye. Now, there have been many instances regarding Trump that people laugh about, but this can be seen as crossing a line. A statue of Trump has been placed outside for public to see clearly representing the human body poorly and it is unflattering. It is just overall uncomfortable. This goes past Trump and straight to the topic of body shamming. Not only does it body shame and make the community uncomfortable, but it is also being used as entertainment via Pokéstop and as a photography prop.

Some are excited about the fact that the artist, "Indecline," created such a representation of Trump while others think this is too far and body has nothing to do with politics, which it doesn't. The statue has been removed because of such reasons of body shaming and public inappropriateness.

What is body shaming, anyways? It is criticizing your own or someone else's body through judgement or even comparing to another's body. Everyone has insecurities, and they do not need anyone else's help amplifying them. This gesture towards Trump is inappropriate and annoying. Trump and Clinton, both, have issues far from what they look like. The country should be concerned about politics and what the future will look like, not criticizing what the presidential candidate looks like.

This election is a big decision. Let's not use body-shaming to help determine the future for our nation. Okay? Okay.

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.
