There is a certain standard that people everywhere are supposed to fit in to. There is a picture of the perfect female and the perfect male, females are to be skinny and tall and have pretty hair and eyes, and if you don't look like this then you are put down and made fun of. Men to have a standard that they have to fit into, they have to be tall, a six pack, and very muscular. When you see the average models they are models who are to almost unhealthily skinny. They also have models that are a little bit bigger then the other models, and they are referred to as "plus size" and being someone who would be categorized as "plus size" I don't imagine that that feels very good, beings pushed into the plus sized category. Study's show that the average size for women,s clothes are a size 16, but if you are a size 16 then in the eyes of society you are "fat" and "overweight". In my opinion it shouldn't matter how much you weigh and what size you are for clothing because if you are confident in your body and your size and you are healthy then honestly it shouldn't matter to anyone other then you. The way that you feel about yourself should be based squarely on you and not anyone other then yourself because in the end everyone else doesn't matter. I grew up not being confident in my body and listening to what everyone else said about me but now I know that it doesn't matter what they think because I'm healthy and happy and that is all that really matters. So just remember that what really matters is how you feel and how you think about yourself, and don't listen to those people that are not okay with you size that they don't really matter because they aren't perfect themselves.
