Question- I recently
Posted a selfie of me in a bikini on Instagram, and my friends were commenting about my weight and telling me to delete it because “there are children on Instagram.” What is the right size?
Answer- Have you ever been standing in front of a mirror, criticizing every inch of your body? If you say you haven’t, you’re lying. Everyone has insecurities, and that’s completely normal
Honestly, I feel that if you’re happy with your body; you do you. Forget the people who disparage you and belittle your appearance. Surround yourself with positivity and people who make your heart smile.
Everyone comes in different shapes, colors, and sizes. Some people are short and pudgy, and others are tall and lanky, but your body type doesn’t define who you are. Weight is just a number, and if you’re happy with yourself, you shouldn’t let other people get to you by putting you down. If you’re not happy with your body, it is never too late to start working out or eating healthy.
Even if you are a little curvy, don’t let it get to you. As Meghan Trainor once said, “I’m all about that bass, no treble.” Likewise, if you’re thin, just remember to keep your head up and be thankful that you can eat five Big Macs and not gain a pound.
Q- The other day, I was wasting away my life on Twitter and I noticed some hatred between our school’s sports teams. Being an athlete, I was a little bit offended and wanted to voice my opinion. Should I get involved or nah?
Answer- Social media is probably going to be the demise of our world. People who get into social media brawls that don’t involve them are the worst kinds of people. Likewise, people who talk smack on social media are just too cowardly to bring it up face-to-face. A new social media network has risen from the fiery depths of Hell, known as Yik Yak. This app lets you upload statuses completely, 100% anonymous. As anticipated, teens are mistreating the app and bashing teams, as well as other individuals.
My best advice would be to just not let it get to you and brush it off. Most likely, the people who are posting negative statuses are insecure about themselves and like to put other people down, which isn’t right. If you do want to voice your opinion, don’t put other people down and state the facts. Your best bet would be to just not let it bother you, and not make the situation worse.
