Kardashian Culture Is Hurting Mental And Physical Health

Plastic surgery outcomes will not be attainable by following their tricks. They paid for that, too.

Kardashian Culture Is Hurting Mental And Physical Health

I love watching Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kris and all the rest of the Kardashian Klan, but, sometimes, I have a real problem with the way they do things. Their power and influence is monumental and is sometimes used for useful things. However, that typically isn't the case--usually, their influence is used for spreading bullshit on how others should aspire to the Kardashians' idealized image of beauty, health, and popularity.

While health is important, so is self-love.

Their images spread this ideal body type (in any one of the sisters you choose), but what they do isn't going to work for everyone.

Their detox teas and appetite suppressant tricks are not THE RIGHT ANSWER for EVERYONE. Wearing organ crushing waist trainers and sucking on lollipops praying your hanger won't overtake you will not make you skinny and perfect; it will make you INSANE.

I love their effort. Some things work for people, some don't. Maybe their tricks will work for you. But, my biggest problem is that they speak every word as if it some SCIENTIFIC TRUTH. It isn't.

Half of the time, you will find some article peaking through the surface easily showing the harms of following these celebrities dieting trends.

You can use them as your motivation. Use the Kardashians as your inspiration. But please, for the love of God, do not take them as a FACT. Not eating dairy won't necessarily make you drop 15 pounds in three days (this is not a claim they made, but some seem to be this drastic at times). The Kardashian influence will only eventually cause not only physical harm but mental harm as well to many young women, and really anyone who buys into their entirety.

We've seen Kylie and Kendall grow up. They had a peculiar switch. We've been exposed to the way the lifestyle of the rich and famous can get you anything you want, including the perfect body. So, buying into their business is really just some B.S. While maybe they "work hard," they don't have to for every little thing in their lives.

They don't have all the worries of the normal person.

They are famous because of Kim's promiscuity. Don't rely on some publicized star to fix all your problem. She doesn't have the solutions, because she doesn't share your same problems.

I promise you that you can eat that burger. I promise you that you can skip a workout. Their only job is to be desirable (so that they stay in the national spotlight and sell outrageously-overpriced products) and that is not your job.

Would I love to look like a Kardashian? Somedays. Think about how hard it is to look that good constantly!? No, thanks. I will take my heaping bowl of spaghetti with tons of parmesan in my XL t-shirt and raggedy old Soffe shorts.

Don't follow the Kardashian Lifestyle, follow your own.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
