More Than A Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament

by Lexie Kite

Girls learn the most important thing about them is how they look. Boys learn the most important thing about girls is how they look. Girls look at themselves. Boys look at girls. Girls are held responsible for boys looking at them. Girls change how they look. Boys keep looking. The problem isn’t how girls look. The problem is how everyone looks at girls.

positive body image isn’t believing your body looks good, it is knowing your body is good, regardless of how it looks.
