Seventeen Again

It was September 26, 2014, the night of the biggest high school football game in Albany, GA between Westover and Monroe. During my biology lecture class, my friend and I contemplated driving home for the game. I had not seen my sister cheer all last semester. I decided this would be the perfect time to surprise her. High school rivalry games are always great opportunities for returning alumni to meet up with old friends and flaunt themselves, usually in the latest styles, to make an impression on the crowd. I recall wearing a teal crop top, joggers, and a pair of black and teal Jordans. Upon entering the stadium, I was engaged in a conversation between myself and a friend. She bragged on my body as she explained that a mutual friend of ours suggested that my stomach was the "perfect stomach", in comparison to hers. The "perfect stomach"? What exactly does she mean? It was then that I realized I had experienced my first encounter of, unintentionally, making someone feel self-conscious about not having the perfect body. Amy Bloom once said, "You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful (Bloom)." Despite Bloom 's thinking, not all people share the same logic. The rational senses of the people are not generated within themselves. Moreover, each decade society has cultivated trends describing the perfect body. Body trends change every year through generations. Fashion TV shows, such as Project Runway, insist one day you are in, and the next day you…

I decided to pay my respect to teachers, and always pay attention and never speak while others are talking. I am very sorry once again. There is nothing else I can say. I apologize deeply. My actions were wrong I should not have laughed at you, or at the other teachers. Once again there was no humor in what you had to say. The punishment you gave us is ridiculous. This essay is all right, but the suspension, is not the right thing to do. There are kids that vandalize school property and skip…

Americans saw a drastic social change in the years immediately following World War II. Young women sought out help and support from major magazines, specifically Seventeen Magazine in the years 1946 and 1947. Both teenage girls and young women were the targeted audience, and though they were close in age, their social interactions and fashion senses were on separate ends of the spectrum. In a Seventeen ad. published in 1947- the company influences it’s audience to invest in their new…

From 2011-2013, Seventeen Magazine, a popular teen/young adult magazine featured a host of popular female celebrities such as: Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Shaileene Woodley, Ariana Grande, as well as many other ABC family stars were featured wearing shirts with the word delete sprawled across them. The meaning behind these shirts and the whole campaign in general was to help spread awareness of cyberbullying as well as help combat it. The question I pose is, how affective/successful was this…

long distance. He lived in mexico and i lived in idaho. I would spend the majority of my free time skyping and calling him.

315-316). In relation to Mean Girls, it seems as though there was a stage in which each character was at for the longest time on their road to forgiveness. Ms. Norbury seemed to be at the injured innocence stage for the longest period of time. She was caught off guard when she appeared in the burn book and when she was questioned by the cops for being a drug dealer because of what was exposed in the burn book. She had no idea what to think, she just wanted Cady to confess so that she did not go…

This was a once prosperous and organized nation. It was built by three talented foreign brothers: Proculo, Cramor, and Stimulos. They created the name Procrasti-Nation on a whim, but still thought it was pretty cool so they stuck with it. It’s purpose was to fulfill their dreams of building the biggest and best resort and vacation area, one where people could leave all their troubles behind for a while and do less important stuff. The brothers would hold all of the important work that the…

"I was having a grand old time just laying on the ground, then you had to ruin it." Alex stood there, clearly trying to fight back the smirk that threated to emerge. So she did what any normal teenaged girl would do: she punched his arm. "Ow!" Alex yelped as he jumped away caressing his arm, mumbling, "crazy bitch," under his breath. She hit him again. "Ow! Do you want a ride home or not?" She lowered her fist. "Yeah," Marcy sighed, "man I can 't wait till get my own car." "Until then, your…

is funny to whisper about killing Tom Robinson. This again shows how blinded by hate the men are that they cannot see how cruel they are being. This shows racial prejudice at the jail, but the reader sees prejudice again. Next the reader sees racial inequality again at the trial. Atticus gives an impeccable closing argument showing how innocent Tom is. During Atticus’ closing argument he says, “The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence to the effect that the crime Tom Robinson is…
