Standards are Needed

Standards of the industry have told you that any woman who looks like this, has that, and doesn't have that is beautiful. Very elaborate and decietful. Any woman who is not a size 2, breasts out to here and butt out to there is not attractive when the reality is that these women aren't real anyway. Nevermind the effects it has on our daughters (and sons) teaching them that their value is only limited to quantatative (measureable) values. Such lies are not only destructive to them mentally physically and emotionally but spiritually as well. It's time that we have a dialouge with our children about their own self-image before we buy them a Barbie or an action figure (Barbies in themselves lie to our children about standards of beauty) We have to tell them that they are indeed beautiful just as they are, that we love them and cherish them daily, that they are worth much more than anything any other person can promise them just because of who they are.
