Who Am I?

Who am I?

Even as a young girl I’ve always had a great sense of who I am and what it is I in life I wanted, from the type of guy I wanted to marry, I never let anyone tell me anything negative or positive about Michelle, my self esteem and self worth had always been high. I grew up in a loving two parent home and my siblings and I have always been happy, even though we lived in Haiti my parents were well off, we traveled back and forth from Haiti to Canada on missionary work, I’ve always pride myself in the good works of my parents and I. even though my self-esteem was high, I never had to put anyone down to feel good about myself, rather the opposite I would help lift their spirits because if I were to put someone down then I would feel bad about it and just the fact of looking at them hurt because of something I said would be devastating to me, no matter what negative propaganda was said about me for some reason never effect me in anyway, that is because I always believe that people will always talk about you and call you names but it’s what you believe about yourself and what you answer to that matters.
I watch a lot of infomercials about diet fads and exercise craze, these images of those perfectly toned models portrays a negative body image on the young people watching them, these teenagers that already trying to find themselves often are misled by these media images. The models are basically telling the teen especially teen girls, that you are not pretty enough or skinny enough until you purchase my product, this is when anorexia and bulimia and other types of eating disorders starts to develop in young people. As of two years ago the modeling agencies had to implement a minimum weight requirement for their models, because a lot of them were too skinny and un-healthy looking, and if the models were to go under the minimum weight requirement they would be suspended and not allowed to work until they went back to the desired legal weight limit. This was to prevent teen girls from developing eating disorders and negative body image, usually this result in death, suicide and self mutilation.
A positive attitude for the soon to be adult starts when they are young and some maybe as early as toddlers, this is the time where the child is developing their self, the self is a very important factor in determining the type of person that child will grow up to be, the happier the childhood the better person will be the end result, positive words of encouragements even when the child fails will give them a good attitude and positive self actualization.
