Miss Representation

Dear readers,
I want to talk about a serious topic today.
Last week, we watched a documentary called "Miss Representation."
Now before watching this documentary, I was much aware of everything they had said.  I even prepared a speech for it that I wanted to say for the speech meet.  Unfortunately, I chickened out and did a whole completely different topic.  I was even going to say the speech in front of the school with Mr.Ranu's help. Sadly he has left, and I don't know who to go to anymore with this idea of mine.
This issue was (and still is) such a great deal for me that I even wanted to start my own campaign to raise awareness worldwide.  Especially in this era, more and more people are going through depression when dealing with this.  But again, I was not brave enough.
That is why as soon as I start grade 11, I want to start this campaign and say the speech I wanted to.  Hopefully, I can find an awesome teacher who is willing to support me.
I am 100% on board with the documentary, and they even expressed so much more information that I wasn't even aware of.  So many things especially towards politics showed so much degradation towards Female Rights that it disgusted me.
Appearance is such a huge thing to everyone (especially towards females) that they are willing to completely change themselves just to fit in.  It's affecting who they are and were as a person.  It's honestly incredibly sad to see the world change this way.  It's 2013 for freaking sake! So why does it feel like we are regressing forward?
 Turning back into history, females were always looked down upon.  It wasn't until around 60's and higher did things actually start to turn around for us.  But recently, it feels like it's all re-starting over and everything that all those wonderful, beautiful, successful women who tried to turn things around for us is just completely being forgotten.
There is so much I want to say about this that I don't even know where to start!
The main thing I want to point out is that yes, I feel like a hypocrite when I tell my friends not to look at themselves as if they were ugly people.  This is because through my eyes it's harder for me to look for bad points about people around me.  I genuinely think with all my heart that every PERSON out there is a BEAUTIFUL person.  So why am I hypocrite?
...Because it's easy to look for the beauty in everyone else, but very hard to find it in me.
Yes I also go through so much self-consciousness that it's hard to look at people in the eyes sometimes because I feel like I am blinding them with my ugly face.  I stare down when I walk through the hallways.  I go through it.  I say so much talk when it's even hard for me to live through this world filled with so much angst and judging looks.  
That's why I want to make a change.  Because I don't go through this alone.  I'm not alone. So many others go through the same thing I do.  And I need that push that will help me strive and accomplish what I want to do by spreading awareness.  I don't want absolutely ANYONE to ever feel like they are ugly and not good enough.  Because no one, no matter how annoying or even mean you are, no one deserves to feel like this.
