“Whoo Whoo”, the old steam train Frances-Jane is aboard sounds as it glides into the station, casting a shadow over the platform. The doors swing open as Frances and the restless crowd hurry out into the morning sun. A Street away from the harbour, the Australian Military ship is anchored waiting for the soldiers to board, ready for the war in France. The very ship which the father of her unborn baby, Andy Lansell, will soon be aboard. Today is the last day to tell him about their baby before he goes to war.

I braced myself for the abuse I would inevitably receive, but, to my surprise, she just stared. I defended my actions by saying, "You called my brother a retard. He is autistic, and it is his birthday, and if he likes Hop on Pop, then ..."

I turned around and pulled my hair back as I checked it to see if any more been ripped out. But that was when I noticed Mrs. Perez lying on the gym floor. A few girls were already crouched down next to her and one was calling out her name as she fanned a hand in front of her face trying to give her oxygen. I looked at her lying there motionless and a sense of dread and shock begun to fill me. Did I do that? I thought. No, I couldn't have. I never touched her unless… unless she had caught an elbow when I was hitting Keri. I then heard someone say to somebody else, “Go get the school nurse,” and then a couple of girls took off running for the hall.

In the article "Too 'Close to the Bone'": Roberta Seid, a lecturer at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, declares that today's culture is dangerously overwhelmed with a new desire to be of a particular type of beauty and health (Seid 168). Seid relates this way of thinking to a religion, criticizing the longing desire people have to be a certain weight (Seid 168). According to Seid, the body type that is "regarded as ideal" has drastically changed over the last century (Seid 168). Thinness was considered ugly and unfortunate, while tall, full-figured women were seen as ideal because fat resembled energy and strength (Seid 169-170).

When I was a little girl, I had befriended a girl in kindergarten by the name of Caitlyn Fischer. She and I grew close and we became competitors up until she moved. She later rejoined me in middle school where I reaffirmed my relationship with her.

Well, it's how me and my bestfriend, Jillian Whilter, reacted to the incident.

Body perception is important to the American culture one can argue that it molds our self esteem. The media continually speaks to an impossible depiction of gender appearances with an emphasis on weight. We are bombarded with images which suggest that women should be skinny but still have curves in all the right places and men are to be tall in stature, with rock hard abs, and an athletic physique. Adolescences specifically are a target to this implausible representation; your adolescence years are the years when you are the most delicate and the most influential.
