Hey you want to be famous and loved by all?! You want to be successful in life? Well all that you need is bleach blonde hair and to weigh as much as a toothpick. Growing up I had two disadvantages that somehow seem to haunt me still to this day, I happened to have been the wrong skin color and I lived in a low income housing unit, other wise know as the aka Ghetto. 

When I was little all of the little girls whom I had seen were all blessed with flawless blonde bouncy hair and bright blue eyes that sparkled with so much promises from a privleged life while girls whom were of my complection and had the same kinky brown hair as I was only rarely ever shown for one maybe two episodes never more. When I was little families who were of my complection only had shows that were souly about all of the racial steretypes that one could imagine proving that once again people of darker skin complections were less superior to others and we are all destined to a life of mediocrity. 

When I was little the term "Gay" and "Homo" were used as bullying tools to criticize those whom dared to love despite the odds. When I was young if a male dared to color their hair some color other than natural or dared to wear a vibrant pink than he was critizied and told by both family and peers alike that that sort of behavior was unexceptable and he would be destined to an eternity in hell. When I was little if a girl were to play any sport in which hadn't exposed her body or hadn't feminity written all over it than she would have been teased and beated up by so many boys. God forbid the girl dresses more like a male than a female or played sports better than a male than she would be frowned upon and doomed to a life of a endless tornment from both strangers, peers, and family alike. 

When I was little being overweight was something was simply not tolerated. You were called "fatty" "chubby" "obessed". The only clothes that would fit made you look like three pounds bigger, to put it simply you might as well have worn a giant red target on your forehead saying "feel free to bully me". When I was little being overweight meant being bigger than most girls in your class and being the main target for the boy's insults. 

When I was little if you were comercially perfect than life was guarenteed to be rough for anyone regardless of age, race, sexuality nothing was promised to us, the imperfections. Now that I have grown up a little I thank the lord for living in a time when little girls regardless of their skin complection actually gets a real chance to reach stardom. When people regardless of sexual identification can finally walk the streets without being called a sinner or a mistake. When women can finally be seen as more than something for men to sexualize and lick their chops to while they go through the definition of hell just to ensure that their children will have food to eat and Christmas gifts to be excited about, women can be seen as some thing equal to that of men when we can be considered as WOMAN. When girls who may be a little more on the plus sized spectrum will finally be given a shot on Victoria Secret, to be seen as confident and beautiful too.
