Answer the prompt: Do you think girls or boys have more issues with how much they weigh? Why do you think so? ]]> 2016-06-29 21:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/115699305 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/115788354 I believe girls because there is more pressure from society and themselves to be like all the character on the tele, like many of the reality and model shows. Also girls put a lot of pressure on themselves to look just as good as the other girls their age and not be above average in weight. ]]> 2016-07-01 03:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/115788354 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/115844042 2016-07-02 18:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/115844042 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/116041307 2016-07-07 06:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/116041307 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153298050 I think that girls have more issues with weight. Around the age of 15 or 16, girls commonly become larger in the hips and waist for maternity reasons, while males just gain muscle. It is more common to see larger girls than boys because of that reason. When you look at famous actresses or singers that are female, most of them portray a "perfect" body, which makes younger girls believe that being skinny is the only way they can be perfect, even though it is natural for girls to gain weight around that age.]]> 2017-02-12 19:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153298050 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153823357 i think that girls have more of a problem on how they look just because they always talk about a diet. but for boy i feel like they would just want to be bigger with muscle. so girls want to be thinner and boys want to be bigger. But love yourself on how you look. :)]]> 2017-02-14 18:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153823357 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153828413 I personally think that girls feel more pressure in being a certain weight an certain width. I don't know if it is because we teens are now at the age where we are self-conscious about ourselves, we want to impress the other gender, or both. I'm not saying that I don't think boys care, I am just saying that I think girls care more; especially with all of this generation's role models like Beyonce and the Kardashians. Social media is also a factor. ]]> 2017-02-14 18:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153828413 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153831407 From my experience with this, it seems as though girls are more self conscious about their weight, where as for me I couldn't care less about what anybody thought about my weight. But that is just me, and I doubt all guys are the same but it seems like girls make more of a big a .deal about it]]> 2017-02-14 18:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153831407 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153831972 In my opinion I believe girls struggle more with weight because of society standards. There are a lot of girls that believe that models are what they should look like and strive to be]]> 2017-02-14 18:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153831972 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153920524 2017-02-15 04:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153920524 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153920525 In my opinion, I think girls have more issues with their weight. I think this because some girls are over weight and they think they to be perfect and be just like the Kardashians. Some girls get made fun of or get bullied of their weight or appearance. Some people starve themselves just to be "skinny looking or to have the perfect body." Society looks at overweight girls not normal but when they see girl with an average weight they are okay with it.]]> 2017-02-15 04:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153920525 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153923497 I believe that girls have trouble with their weight. A lot of girls hate the way they look because a lot of people like the Kardashian's post stuff about their body and girls feel pressured to be that way. They want to fit into society. Their self-esteem lowers. They feel like they need to have the perfect body like the people on social media and on magazines.]]> 2017-02-15 05:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/153923497 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154213288 I think that girls have more trouble because they see a lot of other women that may look the way they want to look. When they see these people it will only make them notice the things that they may not see perfect. Other girls might even be really mean to other girls about their weight.]]> 2017-02-16 03:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154213288 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154503329 I believe that girls have more issues than guys. Girls are always competing to see who has the better body or prettier face. They always try everything to look there best for some guy or to be the "prettiest" girl around. On the other hand, we barely see guys trying to out do themselves to look good. They don't try as hard as girls do. Girls get surgery's, wear tons of makeup, tighter clothes, or go on special diets to loose weight. They can hurt themselves physically and mentally. That's why I think, sure you can try to look "prettier," but your pretty the way you are and its better to be different than the same as every other girl. ]]> 2017-02-17 01:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154503329 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154506195 In my opinion, I believe both girls and boys struggle with feeling insecure about their appearance and how they look, especially in the type of society that we live in today. Although most people would automatically assume that girls have more issues with how they look and are often more reared with the idea that they have more insecurity issues, I would have to disagree. Boys can be just as hurt and self conscious about themselves, even if they have a better way of not showing it. For example, a lot of the time, boys are thrown into the category of having to have a pretty face, hardcore abs, and be 6 feet tall to "impress a girl", just how girls feel they have to look like a size zero model to feel good about themselves. I would have to blame this on society for making kids at such young ages and any gender feel insecure with the way they look. Magazines all over the world throw ideas at people of any age that they have to follow specific trends and dress a certain way to "fit in". In conclusion, I believe both girls and boys struggle with societies standards and strive to be something unrealistic.

I just believe that it's more portrayed through girls. Such as in movies or shows it's usually female characters with weight insecurities or physical appearances in general, but I definitely do think that boys get insecure with their weight in the real world. There's a lot of people who struggle with their weight because of society trying to pressure people into being "perfect". Its because of magazines, models, and even actors/actresses they all look "perfect" they have perfect hair, bodies, and even smiles its a little pressuring because people cant help but compare themselves to these "perfect" people.]]> 2017-02-17 02:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154508119 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154510412 In my opinion, I think both boys and girls have issues on how much they weigh. It doesn't always have to be girls who have issues with it. Boys can also not agree on with how much they weigh. I feel like most boys just don't show it as much as girls do. Lots of people feel that way because they want to try to look like the famous people on photo shopped magazines and reality shows, that have "perfect bodies." For a girl she can maybe feel insecure about herself because she feels like she isn't good enough to be that slim or have such an incredible body. It honestly shouldn't matter what body shape you have because everyone is different in their own way. Society just makes people believe it's okay to starve yourself and do anything you can to be skinny. In all, I just think nobody should feel the need to try to be like those people that have a "perfect everything."]]> 2017-02-17 03:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154510412 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154519063 I personally think girls have more issues with how much they weigh. Most girls don't really exercise as much as boys do which is completely fine but they might not have much motivation causing them to become lazy. Also girls  body's change through most of their life and then get unmotivated causing them to begin to bring themselves down with the thought they can't do it. Especially now since that's what most of our social media consist of like trying to look better than the other. I don't think guys have big issues with their weight because most of the population of boys are very active and usually always working out in some way. That's why I believe girls have more issues with how much they way.

Women's body types are pretty stereotypical. Big boobs, nice butt, blah blah blah. Women are more pressured to "diet" or "exercise" their body to get the right appearance. Girls definitely face problems with their weight. But girls weight could be made more public while boys keep it more on the down low.  Boys and girls could equally struggle. The media just focuses more on women because they seem to enjoy bringing insecurity to women. Most of the things you see in magazines are idiotic people bashing female celebrities for having a pimple or being "too flat". I think society blows everything out of proportion. ]]> 2017-02-17 06:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154520169 401675 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154522629 I think girls have more issues on their weight because they see it all over the internet and girls will do anything in order to get the type of bodies as models and other people. Girls will do anything to make themselves try to look better as in starving themselves or eating then throwing it up]]> 2017-02-17 06:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/154522629 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/155253334 I think girls have more issues on their weight because they usually don't exercise like guys do, most girls might just have a slower metabolism and gain more weight faster. I think girls have a problem with it because there are other girls that make fun of them. Guys don't really mind if there over weight.]]> 2017-02-21 18:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/155253334 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/155255731 I think girls have more trouble on getting fit, most guys excercis all the time and girls have more trouble staying on diet but i guess they try hard to have a nice body ,but guys dont really care becaue we can easly

Girls don't like being "over weight" or too "skinny'' becasue that makes them feel bad about themself or they don't have confident in their bodies. I think that because I can see their point of view.]]> 2017-02-21 18:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/155262282 https://padlet.com/jpansini/vvyiidas85mi/wish/155263436 At times yes.
