last night while i was baby sitting Will and Olivia it finally hit me on how much pressure girls are under. Olivia was playing on the web on like a barbie website and they had i thing where you could dress up your barbie doll. i was like oh thats so friggen neat! then i noticed that like 90% of the clothes were showy. Then it hit me, when i was a little girl i wanted to look just like my barbie doll. Perfect hair, perfect body style, perfect clothes, perfect every thing! and from what i remember the clothes on barbies from like 5 years werent nearly as bad. what it must feel like to be under THAT much pressure. i was out ragged! i cant do that much about what the barbie dolls wear but i can do some thing about the young ladies of today. i can let them know that they are beautiful smart and talented. what are your thoughts?
Wow. It is important to help build young girls self-esteem and it is important for all young ladies to know that true beauty comes from the inside out… I think it is awesome that you want to help girls. Even the clothes for barbie and brats when you were younger were on the showy side… It is important that girls know that modesty is the best choice in clothing options- there are so many style options that you can choose from that are healthy. Guys dont need any help with imagination when it comes to girls and little girls dont need to grow up so fast. Thank you for having the mind to recognize this is something that needs to be addressed. You rock!
Good word girl. Always remember your value is decided by your relationship with God not what culture or your friends tell you what is and is not acceptable.
I LOVE YOU
Love you girl!!! Thanks for caring about my baby!!!
This is a wonderful thing to realize. I had to get to the point where it didn’t matter whether or not I liked my clothes… i had to take into account the effect it had on the guys around me. It’s taken me 23 years to figure out how to work my style into that type of modesty, but I feel like it’s worth it. Don’t ever forget that there is a huge difference between good attention and bad attention.
