As a Denver Center for International Studies junior, I developed two passages. A passage is either a fifteen-page research essay or an activity about the topic of your choice. I wrote a twenty two-page essay about eating disorders for my first written passage. Most eating disorders develop because our society sets this ideal way to be beautiful.
For my second activity passage, I covered the girl's bathroom mirrors with body-positive messages. I used sticky notes and posters to cover the mirrors and left hardly any space to see a full reflection. The idea was to have girls see positive comments and not their flaws based on this ideal look. I wanted to help teenage girls realize that this idea of beauty set by our society is wrong.
