I didn't make it to the actual event, but I should've made more of an effort to. Man...

What was so refreshing about this video is how candid it was with the audience. There's nothing quite like blunt truth being spoken by my peers--it doesn't seem to happen often enough. I identified with a surprising majority of things that the video had to say. What hit me the most was the clip that read, "I'm afraid that people won't love me for who I am...so I keep changing." I realized that this is exactly what I do on a regular basis. At this point, I've changed so many times, trying to satisfy the expectations of the people around me, that I've completely lost who I truly am. I felt relief to see that I'm not the only one who has felt this way. I'm glad so many of my peers recognize what true beauty is, and are willing to speak up and say that they are beautiful, even if society might not think so.

Thank you for this.

I found the video very interesting. I know many people can relate to the different body issues shown in the presentation. I though that it was creative to take pictures and highlight the body issues that some people feel with the text. I also thought the music was powerful and contributed to the presentation. I think women often feel a lot more pressure from society to look like Barbie. Myself, I am overweight, but I don't feel the pressure from society that I think an overweight female might feel. I think people have created and allowed the stereotypes to become so prevalent in today’s society.

This video was perfectly put together to show the insecurities that many women struggle with on a daily bases. It really took me to surprise that there really are this many insecurities and i have myself have felt many of them. I can also not name one female that I personally know that has not dealt with these issues. As women we naturally strive to make ourselves look better. I feel that there is a huge difference between trying to create a healthy image and un healthy image. If a over weight women is professionally proven to be over weight and struggle to be satisfied with his/her body then i feel that should do something about the situation and take control rather than hating who they are. This seems to be very difficult for many. The media also plays a huge role with these images that we seem to think are beautiful. Half the time what many women are not realizing is these women are not natural. Surgery and photo shop are major tools in creating an image that girls hope they can be. This video reveals the struggles that women go through trying to be this image that media relates to as beautiful.
