  1. This was interesting! I wasn't there on Wednesday so I'm not sure what you talked about, but I think that this was a little sad. It's sad how boys that aren't white are picked on more than white people. And it's really sad that pretty girls (especially white) can get away with a lot of stuff. I think that this is incredibly true and that people should be more aware of this stuff. And people that are aware should try to change it. But I also believe that if she is aware of this and it bothers her enough to talk about it, she should change what she does because it supports all of this.

  2. I found this really interesting. It's sad that girls who are "pretty" get more attention. And its pitiful that people are judged differently on their color and looks. Thats good that she was talking about it and stuff, but if she really wanted to make a change, she shoudld think about her modeling career.

  3. I really enjoyed this video, not because it was about a woman modeling lingerie, but because it talked about a model's view of her career. She answered questions that I even wondered. I liked the fact that she's a NORMAL person when she goes out with family and friends. It's only at photo shoots that she lives her magazine cover life. I think all girls (of all ages) need to realize that some people ARE just born with better looks than others, but that doesn't make them ugly. I hope more models follow her lead and speak about their roles as models.

  4. i found this intresting i like her personality iw ish she would have gone into more depth about the modeling agencies and stuff but its ok. My opinion on topics likes these are: there is no problem with wanting to be thinner/skinner/healthier or whatever u want to call it, but dont obsess over it. I think its natrual for everone to want to enhance something about them,but its when they obsess over it then it becomes a problem. I also liked how she pointed out some satistics about teens and race.
