Our country is viewed by others to be extremely proud. And, I suppose this is true, but not without good reason. Since we managed to defeat the British in the Revolutionary War against the odds or whatever. (I was not very attentive in American history)And since then, we've been kind of awesome in combat, if I'm right. (I hope I am, lol.)
But, one of the greatest ironies is that with America being one of the countries where most everybody can have food and stuff, people are starving themselves and vomiting. Now, I'm tired, so I'm writing in a very sterile way, please don't think I'm uncaring... But it is a huge irony. If you didn't have the option of food everyday, you probably wouldn't have an ED.
And this moves on to how the media shows people. I remember an episode of Family Guy where Peter goes to visit his father in Ireland. While in a drunken stupor, his father asked why he wasn't attractive, like most Americans. I thought of this before I started this post. Because if people from other countries think all Americans are supposed to be beautiful, and so many girls have low self-esteem.
Like, seriously, 90% of the girls I know hate themselves, or, more, their physical appearance.
I was just thinking about this. I find it ironic. Saddeningly so.
