[hometext] => I'm a pretty down to earth kind of sister and sometimes the young women of today just seem to sell themselves so short. It just bugs me sometimes.
[bodytext] => Look at yourself in the mirror....
all day long.
Talk about your beauty,
look hard now baby-
someday it will be gone.
Whine about how fat you are,
even though your so skinny.
Have you ever heard of Anorexia?
I think you have honey.
You seem to always need attention.
I see you try in different ways.
You sometimes act pathetic,
and seem depressed for days.
Sometimes you act so stupid,
and twirl your hair about.
Just try to look beautiful sweetie.
With your face of self-doubt.
Multiple piercings in your body,
you choose to wear.
Tatoos you like to show.
Why don't you just shout
Hey look at me!
Instead of poking holes
into your soul?
Dress like a hooker
a lot of the time,
wonder why men look
and talk to you that way.
Too naive to figure it out
or maybe you like
what they say.
Try to give you advice sister
but it seems to pass you by.
I think you know what your doing
and that's what makes you cry.
So young you are.
So unwise,
though you think
you are so smart.
Streetsmart,
I think you called yourself?!
Shut Up You Young Tart!

| a month ago in my school newspaper it said how the freshman were dressing too provactively to look "like seniors" when seniors wouldnt be caught in those getups in school. i dont think theyve figured it out either, and not many have taken the advice, even though there was over half a page devoted to it. |

| No matter what country, it does seem to be all the same, many young teens are trying to be something other than what they are, seeking beauty when it has always been there in the mirror, but it is never enough, always pushing for more, i see on the news snip and tuck jobs, anorexia, seems alot of youth these days just cant accept who they are....you poem explained this rigth down to a tee, maybe some wll see the message within your words, But I wonder do yuo think they will listen...Awseome poem, powerfully written, painting a very clear image. |

A powerful poem with an important message. Of course trying to tell a teenager anything is very difficult. However, they are curious and can be influenced if they think it was their idea. So you can't easily tell them anything, but you can slip in and plant some seeds: some ideas or thoughts and leave it at that.
Anyway, a really good write.
