Tank Girl

As in Flotation, Samandi, aka Sensory deprivation tanks. Created by John C Lilly. (A tank that assists in reaching Theta brain waves. Wavelengths that reached by Meditation practitioners. The tanks block the body's sensory input. Making you float on shallow Epson salt diluted water. In a dark, quiet, and body temp regulated controlled environment.) We have many sports and…

a normal girl, she has paranoid schizophrenia which results in hallucinations. She has a hard time telling what is real and what isn’t. As she is starting her senior year at a East Shoal High School, after getting kicked out of Hillpark High School for vandalism. She is scared everyone is going to figure out about her condition. As a kid Alex would go to the store with her mom. If she was good she would get a yoo-hoo if she was really good she would get to watch the lobsters in the tank while…

lingerie or a make-up line for girls and teens. Now stores are targeting all of theses things for younger girls making them grow up so fast or look like they are grown. I remember having my eight-year-old niece over and when she arrived to my house her face was full of makeup and she was wearing a bra under her little tank top and her booty shorts. I wiped her face off with a wet towel and told her she was to young to wear makeup and that she should be a little girl and enjoy it. I also told my…

What Are The Effects of Society Slut Shaming or Sexualizing Young Girls? “Girls may not only experience feelings of shame due to being sexualized, but they may also develop eating disorders, low self-esteem, and depression” (Sexualization 1). This issue, Body Image, has been even more of an issue to our generation and should be addressed more than it is currently being addressed. Body image is a very serious topic because the way we see each other and criticize each other, has an effect…

pretty sure that everybody has heard the phrases “don’t be such a girl” or “you run like a girl!” or any variation of it (hit, fight, etc). It’s usually said to guys as an insult because girls are weak and silly and it’s super insulting to be compared to one. It gives the idea that it’s bad to be a girl. Now imagine if a little girl is around to hear this said to a boy. She would probably start to wonder what is wrong with being a girl, and maybe even begin to hate the idea of being one. Maybe…

and aunt to let me wear the relaxed khaki pants I wore for every other event formal enough to cause me to change out of jeans. No matter how valid any points I made using my elementary schooler rhetoric, I was met with the same response. “You’re a girl, just look pretty this once.” My confusion only exacerbated my frustration at the situation. How could my brother wear black pants and a wrinkled shirt and still be deemed presentable, yet somehow my gender made the same outfit a treacherous…

instruments, and tutus. The end product alludes a paradoxical life caught between the traditional and the modern, east and the west. The girls are rebellious in the way they express themselves, while still holding true to their past. A similar paradox is realized in Gohar Dashti’s today’s life and war, a staged story of a couple going about their daily lives, in the scene of a tank filled war zone. Across the adjacent room, a selection from Shirinn Neshat’s Book of Kings series is displayed,…

peer exclusion. Checklist Data During my observation, I collected a total of 14 conflicts for the one hour period I was at the ASI Children Center. The percentage of each gender group were 0% girls group, boy groups 64%, and mixed gender group 36%. In gender frequency boys tend to have more conflict than girls. The mean intensity was 1.71 with the range from 1-3 and the mean duration was 1.36 with the range of 1-2. The boys mean intensity is 1.14 and a duration of .86. Mixed gender’s mean…

School - The Sexualization of the Female Body In Society In March of 1959, the company Mattel introduced the Barbie doll to the public. Their initial goal was to create a doll for every little girl out there to play with and identify with. The girls who grew up playing with a Barbie,myself included, eventually admired and sieved to be like Barbie, for all the wrong reasons. It wasn’t the numerous professions or house she had, it was the way Barbie looked and dressed.…

twelve pounds. I stepped on the scale last night and weighed 143.6 pounds. I had researched online that the average weight of a female at my height was 132 pounds to 170 pounds. Although i’m not overweight, I definitely don’t fit in with the other girls at my high school. I barely fit the stupid uniform; even when it’s on, I have random fat bunches on me. I don’t have a flat stomach or small shoulders or skinny legs. “I have the pizza!” Kat yelled as she held the pizza box on top of her head. I…
