Cara, I’d have to agree with you about how sad it is that young girls feel the need to conform for society even though their family members are trying to teach them to be themselves. I think that social media sites, tabloids and other popular media sites have taught young adolescent girls that if they look, dress, and act a certain way (and even weigh a certain amount) then they will be accepted.

I ask myself as I subconsciously click the picture to find…
argument/ conversation about sexual fluidity and attraction will not see any true opposing argument to the topic. This is because there aren’t really any opposing argument to be had. All I saw in the comment sections were little jabs at Blow’s use of Miley as a ethos tactic.
