American Girl

Bianca wrote a song tittle: American Girl:

"Diet pills and a Slim Fast drink,

all just to look like the girls in the magazine 

low carbs and a little plastic surgery,

it's the only way that one can be truly happy

And so they say in this American world,

And so they say to the American girl

You've gotta have perfect skin, wrinkle free;

beautiful hair and the perfect white teeth

And you're easy and you're breezy

beautiful girl...well at least in the eyes of 

the world.

And so they say in the American world,

And so they say to the American girl

And if you'd like to know how to dress,

you can find a page that lists the 20 best

And you can wear this,

But you can't wear that

The sad thing's we've all fallen into this trap

And so they said in the American world

and so they say to the American girl

But beauty comes from the inside

It's something money just can't buy

And beauty comes from the inside

It's something we all must realize 

It comes from the inside, from the inside"

That is a song she wrote as she was a camp director for girls and saw how girls were so concerned with looks. We live in a world full of peer pressure to look like this or act like that.  There is a constant bombardment of pressure to join the crowd or do what everyone else is doing.  It takes genuine courage to stay true to yourself – to stand strong and hold to your values.  Psychologists call this trait self-determination, which means acting in accordance with one’s core self and they rank this trait as one of the three basic psychological needs.  

The most important thing is to love yourself! 

See YOURSELF the way GOD SEES  YOU!!!

Con amor,
