Prompt: Talk about your body

    These days it feels like no one is "allowed" to be comfortable in their own body. There are models and photoshoots that show us how we are "supposed" to look. We see them everywhere, billboards, on social media, on magazines, like a friendly little reminder that you don't look like them. They do not understand that everyone is different and that being different is beautiful. There are companies that would never let a model that is over 150 pounds. Everyone was born with a right to having an opinion, but some people misuse this right. When people wear something they should not worry about what other people will think or say. No one should be treated like this, yet we still do it everyday! Thousands of people go on social media everyday and judge a person by the picture they posted or the thing they commented. Our society revolves around the approval of others. Why can't we just be happy in our own skin? You can never win this game there is always something wrong, "You are too tall, too fat, too much of yourself." When we were little we always thought that people didn't fight it was always unicorns and rainbows, right? The thing is the generations behind us are growing up and accepting this cruel judgement game that is being played some of them are even taking part in it. The little kids know more about technology than what the adult of 2017 know about them. Children these days are growing up with technology right there, and they learn how to judge others by their amount of followers or likes on a photo. These generations should stop this game and change it's rules. The rules right now are no one is ever good enough, nobody is "perfect". The word perfect is the reason why everyone is judging others, nothing is perfect, nothing. People just want to hear that they are perfect, but the word perfect is more of an insult than a compliment. We should all be different we should not want to be "perfect", because the more we are different the more likely that judging others will go away. I want to wake up to a day where everyone accepts each other and they do not bring others down. Everyone is different and this is what we have to accept to live a long positive life. Love the way you look,and if you don't love the way you look change it for you not anyone else.

  1. I realize this was a free write, but please try to use paragraphs and structure your pieces like a real story. Not a journalism news story, but something you might see in a publication, even an art/fan fiction one. Paragraphs make the stories read so much easier.
