Social Awareness #3

    

      


Observe your surroundings (school, home, neighborhood, media) 


      Well I go to school every 5 days a week and I observe my surroundings a lot. For example, most people hit each other... just for fun and most people tell people that they are ugly or fat etc. All of these are issues  are what I find totally unfair. I chose the topic on people calling each other fat or talking behind each other's back. I found this a serious problem because it it can harm you and persuade you to the wrong path. For an example, I am researching on Anorexia and bulimia nervosa and because of bullying and telling people they are fat it actually persuades them to do something wrong. For example,  I researched on this french model named Isabelle Cora and she actually suffered from Anorexia. The reason, she decided to become anorexic is because of her photographer and her boss. 
       Her boss told her that she was fat and she needed to lose weight. Isabelle decides to become anorexic and slowly she became addicted to it and she became only 86 pounds for a 28 year old! This is why i thought that it was totally unfair the way people are treating each other like this and it may lead you to thew wrong path  just like Isabelle Cora. I thought that it was wrong for Isabelle to do this to herself, because she even went to coma and she nearly died, but Isabelle is still anorexic... I also read many stories about young teenager who became anorexic or bulimic because people either told then they need to lose weight or they had a bad body image. I read it at : http://www.christianitytoday.com/iyf/truelifestories/ithappenedtome/7.50.html . If you go on this link you will obviously find diaries of young teenager struggling from anorexia nervosa. 
     So this was one topic from my list of observations and I explained why I thought it was either wrong or unfair. I also posted a video from Youtube with Jessica Simpson and Isabelle Cora and how Isabelle suffered from anorexia nervosa.
