2.  Who better to prepare me / us about teenagers and body image than a adolescent naturist girl! Lucky for me, there's a great family who I love dearly, and as luck would have it, one of the daughters is 15 years old, a naturist and a gifted writer! Below is the post she wrote especially for us.

4.  Seeing Through Natural Eyes - Teenage Body Image and Naturism
5.  I just recently turned 15 years old. http://creamlemon.lead-channel.net/link.php?url=http://x-nudism.com am a teenaged girl and I've been a naturist for the last 3 years. Currently, I attend an all-girls school w http://www.dailysexythumbs.com/cgi-bin/te/o.cgi?s=95&u=http://videonudism.com personal growth and development are strongly supported. As a result, body acceptance can also be common in our community. Regardless of this, the pupils around me still appear to have difficulty accepting their own bodies. As http://homenetworkers.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=videonudism.com , I am faced regular with predicaments and worries concerning my body and others. At school, regardless of who you hang out with, you hear people say stuff like; "I am too fat." "You're so pretty!" "My boobs are too little." " http://okazyon.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=nudist-young.com are too large." "I wish I looked like you."
6.  Teenage Body Image
7.  Personally I do not find these issues to be as pressing. As http://goodhuecountyabstract.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=b-boyz.com , I loved to read and learn. I didn't watch lots of TV or read magazines. By avoiding http://hudebnilahudky.cz/redir.php?uri=http://videonudism.com , I managed to prevent so much of the mainstream media's thoughts. http://freeresultsguide.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=b-boyz.com was not comparing myself to versions and I looked up to my parents as examples of great grownups. My father was also a image-shoot stylist for a while, which introduced me to an entirely different perspective of fashion than the broadly accepted view. I saw fashion and clothing in general, to have two main uses: function or expression.
8.  I knew I could not seem like a model in a magazine, but I also knew that models did not seem like models in magazines. Hairdressers, make-up artists, photographers, and stylists all contributed to the persona that would be the product of the image-shoot. Actually, only a small few of the pictures shot ever make it to the public eye. Understanding this alleviated that pressure of living up to the pictures of beauty that have been illustrated in vogue magazines everywhere.
9.  Nonetheless, I still started to become insecure. I was still too skinny, too short, and too bony. You will find two things that helped me gain confidence and acceptance of my own body. Dance and naturism really allowed me to overcome my insecurities. Dancing was a way for me to learn to maintain control of my body and to accept the fact that it transformed at another rate than my peers' bodies. Naturism on the other hand, enabled me to truly see that nobody was the same. http://bourbonheritagemonth.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=nudist-young.com was different and the socially accepted http://oh-ya.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=videonudism.com s of beauty were restricted to some slim amount of actual individuals. Even then, they did not fit the ideal perfectly.
10.  All in all, I discovered attractiveness to be a very subjective ideal that depended on the situation and individual. Now I personally find that everybody around me has their own appealing qualities that shine through, being a kid or a teenager is rough for that matter so is being an adult! I found that, accepting that your body will grow in its way is a fundamental part of body acceptance.
