Body shaming


Judging people based on their looks? This cannot be normal and we all need to understand that everybody’s body belongs to them and it’s their choice to change their appearance or decide how to treat it. Not only does body shaming hurt people’s feelings, it also has an effect on how they see themselves. It makes them believe that there is something wrong with their bodies. This is one of the most important things that everybody has to raise awareness about. A huge amount of people face this problem and it’s upsetting that people don’t realize how important tolerance towards other people and their choices is. Girls and boys who are overweight or have big noses, rough features, uneven skin and so on are as beautiful as every other person. I have met a lot of people struggling with anxiety, depression and insecurities, people who can’t look in the mirror just because there are some “beauty standards” and stereotypes in our society about how our body has to look like. 


These are some of the affects of body shaming

 • Psychological issues

 • Loneliness 

 • Higher chance of chronic illness 

 • Less opening to others

 • Mental issues 

 • Eating disorders etc.


And this all can happen to anyone from your unconscious words and stupid comments.


Even the popular clothing stores don’t sell clothes for plus size people. We need to understand that we all are more than our bodies and there are many gorgeous things about us other than our body. Even though it is beautiful with its every inch. Remember nothing is wrong with your body. In fact, there is a huge problem with the society and its beauty standards, and you don’t have to match others’ expectations! Be like your soul wants you to be. Be confident,  as you’re beautiful just the way you are!


Speed dating

Questions

Ø  Do you think speed dating is a good way of meeting people?

Ø  If you were looking for a partner would you try it?

Ø  What questions would you ask?

Ø  Would you like to have such clubs in Armenia? If “Yes” Why? If “No” Why?

I think that speed dating is such a fun idea but actually not for dating. I would like to visit there to find new friends but I don’t think that 3 minutes is enough for knowing each other and be in relationship with anyone. If I were looking for a partner I wouldn’t go there. Let’s imagine I went there to find friends, I would ask these questions;
What are the most important things a person should have from your sight?
What one word can describe yourself?
What is your favorite activity that you can do for hours?
What a person you can’t spend time with?
As I said earlier I would like to have such clubs in Armenia, but for new friends only.

Everything, everything... this movie is one of my favorite ones. Writing credits: screenplay by J. Mills Goodloe and based on the book by Nicola Yoon. Director of this movie is Stella Meghie.  Starred in it: Amanda Stenberg, Nick Robinson, Anika Noni Rose, Ana de la Reguera and others. It take place in Los Angeles. The young teenager whos name is Madeline Whittier was treated for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) also known as “bubble baby disease”. Due to this, Madeline is kept inside her house, where she lives with her mother and doctor. Madeline can’t be out of her house because of her disease. One day new neighbors came to the next house. They where so friendly people. The new family have two children, girl and boy. As a sign of housewarming, they baked a pie for the neighbors and send it with children. Madeline’s mother was not happy that they brought pie, because it had a lot of microbes and they are very harmful for Madeline. The boy’s name is Olly. He is very nice person. Olly and Madeline saw each other from window and they liked each other from first sight. Then Olly went to his room and find out that Madelines window is opposite to his. Olly wrote his number on the window and they started talking. Later they met at Madelines house and after Olly leave, she started having seizures. Madelines mother was very angry at doctor because she let Olly to enter their house and fired her. Madeline was very upset because the doctor was her best friend. After some time Madeline decided to go out, because she’s really tired of her life. “ It is better to live one day happy than whole life but unhappy ” she said. Her biggest dream was went to the ocean, she was never there. After some time she leave massage for her mother and went to the outside to reveal if she is sick that hard. Olly and Madeline went to the ocean and she had her best day ever. I don’t want to tell you all story, because you should to watch it, there is a really awesome ending that you should to see. I like this movie, because it shows us that we should do things that we want today, don’t leave it for tomorrow and don’t pretend that we will live for forever, do it now!
