In Tally Youngblood's community it's common to get the 'pretty' surgery once you turn 16. Tally has wanted the surgery since she was young. Towards the end of the book she gets caught up in a fight of a dream and reality. She has to choose between her life dream (the surgeryor her good friend. She is  later forced to turn herself in after leaving to spy on her friend from running away from the surgery. ]]> 2017-12-10 22:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/214864359 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/214875130 2017-12-11 01:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/214875130 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/214875163 Extremely unrealistic beauty standards are widespread throughout American media and pop culture.Studies show that 91% of girls from ages 12-17 years old would like to change one aspect about their appearance. The average American woman is 5'4 and 140 pounds . The average model is 5'11 and 117 pounds. It's very common for humans to want what they can't or don't have , and these beauty standards take this to the extreme.]]> 2017-12-11 01:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/214875163 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215185484 This generation's epitome of beauty is Kylie Jenner. Who has had countless surgical procedures from her lips to her waist. Yet she continues to tell younger girls her body is natural. Her 'secret' to her perfect hourglass figure. Is " drinking fit-tea and just staying away from snacking" she advises to her fans . Her dieting 'tips' are very unhealthy and so very unrealistic, I doubt she uses them herself. ]]> 2017-12-11 19:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215185484 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215612252 Body Dysmorphia or BDD is a disorder in which a person has an obsessive view of their appearance and physical traits. Most people might not like certain things about their appearance, while people diagnosed with BDD think about their 'flaws' for hours every day. They think about themselves negatively and this usually stems from low self-esteem issues at an early age. ]]> 2017-12-12 20:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215612252 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215613614 2017-12-12 20:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215613614 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215634783 2017-12-12 22:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215634783 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215635103 That means about 5 million women nation wide have a distorted envision of themselves]]> 2017-12-12 22:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215635103 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215635928 My character Tally Youngblood's society see's anyone that has not gotten their body totally modified into 'pretty' as  hideous. Throughout the book, before the name or basic physical traits of a character is revealed, their flaws are described first. The author of the book explains beauty distortedly, as if their is only one way to be beautiful.]]> 2017-12-12 22:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215635928 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215643972 The topic of body image is very relevant right now because plastic surgery rates are higher than ever for teenage girls and boys in America. Statistic's say the demand for lip fillers for teens has risen by 47%.Women in our society are so used to thinking that beauty is defined only one way . Tall, Thin, Tan, and Blonde. And that is very untrue. It's time we as a society accept women of all colors, sizes, and heights as beautiful. People are worth so much more than their appearance,]]> 2017-12-12 23:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215643972 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215645129 2017-12-12 23:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215645129 20muhumedu https://padlet.com/20muhumedu/sbcx38n9vmc8/wish/215646065 4 June 2013, Body Image Statistics, Author: Statistics Brain
