SUBJECT: Dressing With Class
heres how it goes, im 13 years old. ive ben through a lot in my life, and yes.....i admit that i have been sucked into the world of fashion, although i did have good style, i wasnt popular. dresssing a certain way wont make you popular is something that i really wish that i would have found out before i went into 6th grade. i would wear tight cloths and low rise jeans. i thought that maybe if i would dress like that than maybe a certain someone would want to go out with me. well that person didnt even notice me! he noticed my boobs! it was pathetic! i did wear an A36 at the begining of 6th grade, but thats not what i want people to like! some guys are a waste of time! if i were a parent that i wouldnt ever let my kids buy anything or wear anything that is slutty or skanky. its degrating for people and it does send a bad message out.
moving on.........yes, i am aware of the fact that most men dream about fooling around with the big B.S........you guessed it! brittney spears and ya know what else? i dont care! if any man in the world actually went out with brittney they would realize how annoying she is! she doesnt have a very good personality. okay, SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE LOOKS, SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE PERSONALITY. wearing skanky clothes that show off a great body, but i dont know a single guy that would actually take time to know the person behind the clothes.
if you dont get what im saying just think about it like this: i was friends with this great person, her name was macie. She was the coolest person that i had ever met! and the only problem with her was that she was a litle bit overweight. People would tease her for her weight and her seeing people, like me, that dressed skanky and showy, made her feel degrated about her own body. i only found this out at the beginning of 7th grade. the first day of school i came with a pair or loose fitting shorts from kohls and a t-shirt from american eagle. i know what your thinking, KOHLS, no one wants to shop at kohls! but really! i mean! they're shorts! i was comfy in them and i wasnt AT ALL sending out the wrong message to guys! they all respected me and talked to me as if i were one of them! it was great! and that was the reason that my friend macie told me about how she felt. she knew that i had changed. i changed in a lot of ways in that summer, i started to wear swimsuits actually covered my boobs, and bottoms that didnt give me major wedgies! (ooh that hurts!) i stopped listening to rap music, i stopped making fun of my peers, and i started to respect myself!
Heres how i am now: i wear a tight fitted t-shirt with a normal BODY BY VICTORIA BRA on with a tanktop on over the bra(those bras are kinda mis shappen) and with a pair or TITL STRECH DENIM JEANS. I listen to a lot of oldies like led zeppelin and the doors, a lot of alternative, and a lot of emo, i like bluegrass too. i respect people and accept them for them. i love to hang out and love to talk! ive changed so unbelievably much!!!!! seriosly! i think that the whole brittney spears look is pathetic and im pretty bummed that its swept the nation.

i really want other peoples opinion on this so if your reading this than send a reply. i would greatly appreciate it!
