While reading Mary Pipher’s, “Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls” and Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson’s, “Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys,” I got a better understanding of the mindsets of teenagers in todays society. I learned that countless girls and boys have the same inner battles and do not even realize it. The two songs I chose that best represent ideas of woman and manhood are “Unpretty,” by TLC and “Stan,” by Eminem. I believe these songs support many

You may know Kesha as a party girl, previously known as Ke$ha, a girl who parties, sleeps, repeats. However, over the years Kesha has gone through hell and back, taking time to better herself and work towards a more positive future. Bastards, the first song off the pop singers third studio album, Rainbow, doesn’t waste any time in promoting self-love and positivity.

Unpretty is a song recorded by the girl group TLC in 1999. The song’s purpose is to uplift women and let them know that they are beautiful just the way they are. The song touches on insecurities about body image with such lyrics as, “never insecure until I met you, now I’m being stupid, I used to be so cute to me, just a little bit skinny, why do I look to all these things to keep you happy, maybe get rid of you and then I’ll get back to me”. The video for this song matches the lyrics and touches

The song that I chose to listen to is called, “Unpretty,” and it was made by a women’s group called TLC. The song comments on how we let our relationships with others affect the way we see ourselves. In the chorus TLC sings, “You can buy you hair if it won’t grow. You can buy your nose if he says so. You can buy all the makeup that M.A.C. can make.” Someone that wants longer hair can buy hair extensions, a person who was told that their nose was ugly can invest in a nose job, and someone who wants

In the song “Unpretty” by TLC, I personally think the meaning of this song is about image. A person can feel so much insecurity in themselves to go the length to altering their appearance because of the person they care for does not accept them as they are. My reaction to this song is sincere because people will alter themselves to feel cared or accepted; however, it’s also disappointing because people should not go that far to alter their appearance for someone else. I did like the song, the artist
