understanding changes

I believe that society now a days can be very judging. 95% of teens everyday have to face and as we speak, phases in life that are, heartbreaking, misunderstanding, and feeling very uncomfortable ways about themselves. These are all due to feeling specific ways and the judgments they receive on a daily basis, both directly and indirectly.

I have several reasons for thinking this my first being is that; many females out there that feel insecure about them selves! I, myself Emily Sanchez, felt many ways when it came to my body, face, and curves. This all began in middle school during the time of 7th grade. I began seeing changes. My body gained weight, my hips got bigger, and not to mention my stomach. I felt that I was eating too much and right away I knew and told myself, “it’s time for a diet.” It was okay at first, I had to accept the fact that it wasn’t going to change in a matter of days, but I ignored it and let it go. Until one day while my sister in law was at my house and made an unnecessary comment about my weight. I got to the point where the entire night, was nothing but hearing my soul feel empty and feeling it pitch black. The words threw me off, I felt my heart drop once she said, “you look so bigger now!” With that being said, I had nothing to say to her. So all I did was not respond and look away.

... We all have a purpose in life, and whether it’s good or not, we must go through what we go through, and once we finish we’ll notice that it’ll pay off. I go through many things in life every single day, but that doesn’t stop me. I must keep pushing forward without looking back. I have dreams, and so do you. Chase them. Go for them. No one should stop you from doing what YOU LOVE. It’s your life, “if you don’t grind, you don’t shine”; meaning, you must work hard for what you’re planning on doing in life.

Finishing and letting all my opinions out on this essay made me really feel good. Many may agree, and many may not. I hope I have proven to you that all society does is nothing but judging us. We try our best but sometimes its’ just not good enough. But, at the end of the day we are doing it for our own good and no one else. We won’t satisfy you but ourselves.
