  • I applaud the majority of your message, but there is one critical problem here: You tell us to REJECT advertising, and then suggest a solution from part of the problem! If media and fashion and advertising are damaging, how is LOOKING THROUGH MAGAZINES TO FIND WHAT WE LIKE a good idea?! This detracts so much from your otherwise potent message.

  • @SheWhoFeels It was an example of how you can find plenty of images of things to aspire toward, and then the second part of the exercise is an example of how you are very unlikely to find images of people who look like you or things you actually own. So the whole point is that magazines do not show 'real' people as being aspirational and in fact do not show 'real' people at all.

  • where do you find all those pictures!?

  • @Sidney10MT mainly on We Heart it and tumblr

  • I may be struggling with anorexia. My mom thinks I want attenchtion . I told a close friend and the advice works for a short ammount of time. I punish myself for eating- I got a black bruise on my arm from punching it after I eat or when I want to, after I eat I take a shower on the coldest setting and get out put on my clothes without drying and sleep on the floor. What do I do? Feel free to ask me anything else about it btw great video!

  • Ohhhhhh okay! That makes more sense! Thank you for explaining... and Well DONE! ^_^

    Xoxox!
