The uncomfortable truth

People are busy looking cool, sexy and thin. I don’t understand the concept of cool. Call me old fashioned, old or whatever but I don’t get this cool business. Sexy has become slutty. As far as being thin has never worked long term for people with weight issues and yet the so called “health businesses” are booming. On top of that it’s all superficial and everyone looks the same.

It seems as though suddenly we have a universal look of what’s pretty, sexy and cool. Look at the teenage girls the make up, clothes, eyelashes the size of their bodies even shoes they look the same. Being unique disappeared in a masses of the sameness. The only “attractive” thing these days pumped limps, fake eyelashes and boobs and the talk about celebrities.

When I was growing up I didn’t put make up on until I went to University. Ok, I did hide once and put make up on when I was seventeenth before we went to a disco. We had to clean our faces before we went home. We did look ridiculous with the make up put in a dark and not being quite right. These days 13 year old look like 18 year old and barely cover their private parts.

I don’t know how parents allow the kids to wear clothes like that and make up. Maybe the times have changed? Somehow feels wrong a 13 year…
