Society Teaches

Society Teaches

A Poem by Catherine Frain

Today’s society teaches young girls,
how to live by the rules that govern lives.
How to act, how to eat, how to live.
Girls sacrifice their individuality,
to become like the girl that sits beside them.
 Today’s girls aren’t taught what is right,
not like twenty years ago.
Today, these girls, are taught-
that to be popular you need to be thin as a rail,
being a size too large is to lose a chance in life.
 Today’s girls, drive to be like Barbies.
Super thin, and made up like dolls.
Destroying their bodies,
just to be stand unseen in a crowd of “Barbies”.
Today’s society teaches girls,
that thin is the way to go.
Today’s society is slowly changing.
They are showing that bigger,
isn’t always bad.
Today’s society, needs to change,
how girls view themselves.
Being thin or larger than one another, shouldn’t make a difference.

They should see that only personality,
is what matters the most.
Size and shape will never determine who you are.
  Today’s society teaches young girls,
how to live by the rules that govern lives.
How to act, how to eat, how to live.
Girls sacrifice their individuality, to become like the girl that sits beside them.
But this needs to end, right now and everywhere.
