Girls Need To Learn To Love Each Other

Why can't women lift each other up instead of bring each other down?

I've always wondered why girls feel the need to tear each other down knowing how bad it hurts when someone does it to them. Is it cause the lack of esteem in oneself that they feel the need to bring someone else down to come out on top or is it cause they truly like the feeling of hurting someone? Either way as women, we need to learn to love ourselves and respect one another.

Most women have had at least one 'mean girl' in their past, that has either put them down or socially tormented them. Women who feel as if your a competition tend to be the main ones who feel the need to bring you down.

With that being said, It is truly sad that this generation wants to hurt people rather then make them feel good about themselves. As being women, we know how hard it is dealing with our self image issues and being able to actually love our self.

These magazines and social media pages, show young girls the 'ideal look' and how they need to look in order to be loved or to matter to society. This make these girls feel the need to starve themselves just to matter to the world or so they aren't made fun of for being 'fat'.

These girls then grow up having huge insecurities and believe that no matter what they do, they aren't good enough. It's not fair for women to experience depression because another girl made them feel worthless just to make themselves feel better.

This girl on girl hatred needs to stop, instead of bringing each other down, we need to lift each other up. If you feel another women is pretty or you like her outfit, tell her because that might just be the one thing that'll make her day.

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.

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.
