Beautiful Women Project / Texting …

I was watching Good Morning Canada and they had a few interesting reports on tv this morning.  

BODY IMAGE

Body image is something many people struggle with, especially teenage girls.  But one Canadian artist is helping young people realize their true beauty through a special art exhibit.  The b_w.jpgexhibit consists of plaster casts of 120 women aged 19 to 91.  The message… beautiful bodies come in all shapes and sizes.  Artist Cherl-Ann Webster created the display after her 13 year old daughter told her she wanted to save money for breast implants.  The display is at the Cambridge, Ontario Centre for the Arts until April 5th.  For more information see www.websterwood.com

 Text Messaging among teens…

In the report this morning, they interviewed several students who said they would rather text than talk. Even though phones are banned in schools, they text all day through, well into the night hours as well. What they report was pointing out though, was that if a parent is registered as the owner of the phone, they have access to the times texts are sent and received… and they can read the content of those messages online. texting.jpgThe report talked to a few parents and a counsellor asking if this seemed an invasion of privacy for students. It was an interesting report.

    Well on the body image thing it is more than just black and white. Because we are all people and we all have the same body parts etc. Black people do not like to be singled out they like to be treated like everyone else. it is not right to single them out. I actually dated a black guy once his name was Micheal. He was very sweet and he always thought about what i wanted first before himself. And about that text messaging thing, my parents don’t own my phone i payed for it myself. But if they did i know i would not want them to invade my personal text messages. The parents should learn to respect their childs privacy, because if they don’t and there kids find out then they will never trust there parents or respect them ever again. Well thats all i have to say so see ya later…. Amanda
