Average Girl
For the past couple of days we have been talking about how our society structures girls into thinking horrible things about themselves and making them try to look like someone that is not even real. Our teacher gave us a perfect example, his daughter got new shoes when she was two years old and everyone was like "oh you look so cute in your new shoes". Then next year she got another pair of shoes and then she was the one saying "do I look cute in my shoes". All that is just teaching little girls is that they look cute or pretty by what they wear and not by their personality. No one means to construct girls like this from a young age, but it is happening and people need to start noticing it.

We don't always mean to push the idea that materials make people beautiful, but we sometimes say things that make it seem like that is the reality when in fact it is not.
