33. Relevant

My topic seems very relevant to today’s society because I feel it is really important to show young women, men, and teens that they do not have to be “perfect.” You should grow up feeling like being yourself is good enough and not have to be self-conscious every time you walk out of your front door. The pressure to be a certain person and to look a specific way is too much for some teens to handle.  I think it is imperative that young adults know they are accepted for who they are and don’t need to change themselves to fit someone’s idea of perfect.  By writing a paper on the topic of body objectification I hope that because it is relevant many people will be able to relate to it. I also hope that the reader is persuaded by my ethos, logos, or pathos and ends up feeling more confident about themselves. There are numerous pressures in high school and college and some teens unfortunately turn to drugs, alcohol, violence, and even suicide. It’s pathetic that this is what our society has come to. Although it’s difficult not to be worried about your appearance, and I admit I am also guilty of this, we need to find a way to love our bodies as they are. Diet and exercise are important for a healthy lifestyle but obsessing over weight and appearance to impress others is extremely unhealthy. Young adults everywhere face problems with acceptance from family, friends, and society in general.
