It all depends on your personality and the environment of people you hang around with. My suster and her fridns are all different. Boob jobs in high school is nuts, alothough I think I wanted one before, lol.Merritt Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746804656222890099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175831410502579117.post-39446885402995073902009-09-05T03:01:55.767-04:002009-09-05T03:01:55.767-04:00Merritt from summer B!

I didn't even realize this was your post till I went to comment! <br /><br />I strongly agree that girls never feel that they are "enough", and I think that even most women feel that way at times. <br /><br />I have to disagree with your statement: "Girls hormones will be raging they will switch friends and boyfriends like dirty laundry." I do not think this is the norm for girls going through puberty nor the best way to describe it. Many still shy about boys and clutch on to close friends for dear life.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562564352866760333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175831410502579117.post-2739348067765035902009-09-03T11:24:51.494-04:002009-09-03T11:24:51.494-04:00Hi Merritt,
Mary Pipher’s summary of girlhood bei...Hi Merritt,<br /><br />Mary Pipher’s summary of girlhood being “a treacherous terrain for girls”, really hit the nail on the head for me as well. You are right girls never feel they are “enough”. I think we need to redefine “beauty” all together. <br /><br />You really only are as beautiful as you are in the inside. This model that society has deemed as beautiful is making our girls miserable and with that they have a tremendous burden to carry everyday in order to just feel normal (if there is such a thing anymore). I see girls not even graduated from high school yet who have boob jobs. <br /><br />Sadly, this pressure we are imposing is causing girls to feel even more insecure, these girls are dying to be beautiful….literally. The suicide rate among pre-teens and teenage girls is alarming. Girls are cutting themselves as a way to cope with the pain, and this is all for the pressure to feel beautiful, because if they do not fit this model they are constantly ridiculed. This terrain is becoming more and more treacherous by the day!mhendrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371525053404791087noreply@blogger.com
