I was not one who really liked boys at a young age, but like you I was in 5th or 6th grade when I became obsessed with my appearance and started wearing make up. I remember in the 6th grade friends stuffing their bras with toilet paper. Sadly, it seems younger and younger these days girls are becoming obsessed. You see girls as young as 7 becoming concerned about their weight, it is a scary thing. I like how you pointed out Mini’s desire to fit in that is another area where girls are constantly struggling. Everyone wants to be popular and as time goes on the standards for fitting in become higher. You have to have the right clothes, hair, and appearance. I hope we can encourage girls to truly learn to love and embrace who they are and not desire so greatly to be something else. It is alarming what girls go through now a days to fit in.mhendrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371525053404791087noreply@blogger.com
