2. Make Girls Feel Better About
Themselves
◦ 70% of girls ages 15 to 17 don’t attend daily things like school because they don’t feel
confident about their looks.
◦ By complimenting a girl it will make her day but by saying something disrespectful she
will remember it the rest of her life and it will always be on her mind, what one is better?
◦ 44% of girls are attempting to lose weight. This could be because of something that has
been said to them or the idea that a lot of girls have – to be perfect.
◦ A majority of girls look at magazines and see the girls and think they are perfect –
perfect bodies, perfect looks, perfect fashion – a lot of girls strive to be like them but
truth is they are all changed none of them look the same in real life and are made to
look skinnier, prettier and more beautiful.
3. Boys strive for perfection as well
◦ A lot of people think only girls are striving for the perfect bodies but some boys want to
be as well
◦ More than 40% of students in middle school and high school in America are excersising
regularly to gain bigger muscles because media shows all men with six packs and
muscles.
◦ 38% admit to using protein shakes to help them gain perfection
◦ Boys are sometimes forgotten about but they struggle as well, they go through
depression, eating disorders its not only girls who go through this.
4. Depression and eating disorders
◦ 20% of teens will experience depression before adulthood, this is a shocking number
and sometimes these people are going through this on their own
◦ It is shocking what some people do to be perfect and this has to be stopped,
everyone’s perfect is different but every body is beautiful and teenagers shouldn’t be
making themselves sick or not eating to be more thin. This could have serious risks on
their health
◦ About 4,400 teenagers commit suicide per year, this is a huge number, young people
with their whole life ahead of them committing suicide
◦ For every suicide there at least 100 attempts at suicide and this is a huge number
again. We will never be able to stop people feeling like this but we can at least help
and make society better so they aren’t wanting to be perfect
◦
5. Bullying
◦ It is unbelievable how many children, teenagers and adults are being bullied. You cant
go into a school that hasn’t got someone being bullied and now with the rise of
technology more and more people are being cyber bullied and a lot of suicides are
because of bullying.
◦ The bully doesn’t always know what they are doing to the person emotionally, they
could be ruining the persons life
◦ 3.2 millions students are bullied every single day. Just imagine that is more than every
person in the state of Iowa being bullied every single day.
◦ About 160,000 students in America skip school because of bullying, these students are
missing out on their education and a chance to get a good job because of a
bully/bullies
6. What you can do to make it better
o Compliment someone – one compliment can make someone smile for ages
o Don’t feel like you need to be perfect, perfection is just an idea in our minds
o Love your body and yourself – this is so important that you love yourself
o Be happy and if you aren’t right now read a good book, listen to your favourite song,
eat your favourite food and stay in your bed all comfy – this may not help some people
but hey it’s a start
o If you see someone feeling down at least try and cheer them up I mean who wants to
see someone upset
o If someone you know is in need of help, try your absolute best to help them
o Don’t let anyone or anything ever stop you, don’t ever let money stop you – money
doesn’t buy everything

LETTING GO OF WHAT

IT FOR EVEYTHING
THAT IT IS”
9. “Never let a stumble in the
road be the end of the
journey”
“A smile is the prettiest
thing you can wear”
“Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It’s
about having a pretty mind, pretty soul and
pretty heart
“Be yourself because an original is
always worth more than a copy”

exist, because its not real
