Beauty lessons

  Beauty defined by Media:

    My definition: That people have to make themselves more beautiful by putting makeup on and using media to make themselves beautiful.

3 things: 

• I found that people see beauty by media as being perfect. 
• I learned that beauty is how you act not about how you look. 
• Some people feel good without makeup and that they feel like they're lying when they meet someone new. 

 Beauty defined by Gender:

  My definition:   Is your outward image and the way you look.  And that each gender is held to different standards in terms of beauty. 

3 Things: 

• That beauty is the way you express yourself. 
• Girls are expected to wear makeup.
• Guys are expected to look good and have muscles.

Beauty defined by Culture:

 My definition:   Personal differences of beauty between different countries. 

3 Things: 

• That people in different cultures have different aspects of beauty.
• In Africa they paint their faces as their way of cultural beauty.
• In India they wear jewelry and red and gold on their wedding days, along with henna art.

Beauty defined by age:

 My definition:   As you get older people get less beautiful and we need to focus on personality and know them before we judge them.

3 Things: 

• "To age is to fail" is a message to older women.
• Makeup can make you look younger rather than old.
• Aging is wonderful and we should respect that.

Beauty defined by History:

 My definition:   Throughout time beauty standards have changed more and more. 

3 Things: 

• People have changed their beauty standards throughout the years.
• Today it is mostly about looks rather than inner beauty.
• History has changed its standards of beauty throughout time It used to be about inner beauty and now it's about outer beauty 

    Gender and media over lap because women and men are held to different standards. Girls have to wear makeup, while guys do not have to and only have to look good.

    I've learned that their are many types of beauty and all of them have a lesson to give. But they all have different lessons within them,  like we all have beauty and we shouldn't hide that with makeup, societies standards, age, or our culture we all have inner beauty it's just hiding until you discover it.

The Beauty within us

       Beauty: Can't be defined by words because everyone is beautiful in their own ways and has their own inner beauty. There's more to people than what meets the eye and are not a copy of everyone else, but are their own kind of beauty and themselves.



  " I look at myself close up in the mirror and try to find some good things"
  " I may have Bugs Bunny teeth, but they are mine, and if I put on a few pounds, they might even look right on my face, which at least is my real face, and not painted on."


        I never have felt more humiliated in my life, because people think that I'm just pretty and dumb with my blonde hair. The next day at Lakeside high school people judge you on your beauty not your smarts. " I'm tired of people thinking that I'm stupid just because I am have blonde hair and pretty." I told my best friend Ava. " You're over exaggerating people do that to everyone especially the pretty girl Aubrey." She told me while she was doing her make up. I don't see why people think I'm pretty, for one I'm to tall and skinny. After that day I went home to my neighborhood in Augusta which is like five minutes away from the school. Outside are these poplar boys that always comment on how beautiful I am.




      Alex in Mr. C's class and his group of people always make fun of me because they think I a dumb blonde pretty girl. " Hey Aubrey, why are you so dumb?" Jake said. " Because she is like a fish, she can't remember anything." Alex says. I couldn't believe he said that so I ran to my car and left with Ava following me.  She came to house and with surprise my sister was their and she never asks what's wrong with me. Ava comes up to my room and tells me to show them that I am actually smart and that's more to me than my looks. So the next day, I showed them that I wasn't just pretty and that actually smart. No ever made fun of me or other people for what's on the outside, but what's inside of them. From there on I saw what was inside of people than what's on the outside and eventually so did everyone else. There is more to people than whats on the outside, we just look and see them for what they really are on the inside.

Getting lost in a store

                A danger that I have faced was when I was like three or older I don't really remember the age, but I was separated from my family. It was at Walmart and they had to lock the whole store to find me and they found me under the toilet paper shelves crying. I was really scared and sad because I could not find them at all. 




 This would be similar to how the Jew's and other people felt when they were separated from their families in different concentration camps. They probably felt scared and the kids probably cried because they couldn't see their brother's or sister's and their parents again. 

    That people want to learn and be independent without their parents and Elie wanted to learn about another religion and wanted to know more about life and things around him. He got separated from his family and had to face horrible conditions going to and in the concentration camps. And he did not know what was going on at first and learns about indifference along the way.

halloween traditions

         
                     
                   

        For Halloween my family decorate our house a little bit with pictures and little small decoration. I'm hoping to decorate it more next year with the help from my brother. Me and my brother go trick or treating around our neighborhood. We love looking at all the decorated, scary, and cool looking houses. We pass candy out to all the trick or treaters, and I look at all their amazing and creative costumes. And we sit by the tv always and watch scary movies all month till halloween. Its very fun to do all these things with my family.

True friends

         


         True friends will always tell you the truth even when you don't want to hear it because they are just looking out for you.

 

 We look for friends that can just be straight up honest and can tell us if we make mistakes and will not judge us. Friends help us if we need help and tells us when we mess up  Sometimes we need honest friends on our lives to be able to count on and always be their to help us.

My friends will always tell me if my outfit is not cute or if I need advice they will tell me what to do honestly and will always find a way to help me out. They understand everything and are willing to help you out nomatter what and they accept it because they am not change you only help
you and guide you with lessons.

Beauty in everyone's eyes

         


         Humans of New York is popular because it shows and tells everyone about everyone's story and how they are different. They show people pictures of people and their own single story. What drawed me to this picture was her hair because its colorful and her story most importantly. Her story is that her parents didn't like her appearance and they asked why she didn't look normal. But i liked this one because the truth is not everyone is normal and is beautiful in their own ways and parents are i think are tough on their kids to make them face the real world and get them prepared for whats to come.  She wished that her parents would say she could dress however she wants. Every teen wants to dress however they want when they live with their parents but in the end they do the best they can and guide you to not make the same mistakes they did. 

       

         And they don't want you to fail or dress bad because your actions affect their reputation and image. The stereotype would be that people with unusual hair colors are not nice and don't dress normal. And they see that not everyone is normal and who wants to be. We are all unique in our own ways and are beautiful too and we all have our own story and people will stereotype them based on their looks and when they hear it they learn and see that we are not all like that. So people can stereotype you based on your looks and not learn or hear the story and assume that everyone is like that. Our stories are not complete yet and not everyone is like that based on their looks or their clothes choice. Her story was very inspirational cause it relates to me and teens really everyone because we all have dealt with it or have heard about it. It relates to the real world today and teens today.

If i were a boy

   

  If I Were A boy
If I were a boy even just for a day
I'd care more about her
And be more respectful

I'd be more nice
And I'd not cheat on her
because I know that it hurts

If I were a boy
I think I could understand you
I swear I'd listen to you
I'd be their for you
because I understand that it hurts you

If I were a boy
I would care for you
I'd take you out  on a date
And not be selfish anymore
because I know that it hurts.
