Do start a blog - use wordpress you get great apps, it's a great for insomnia and, you meet (well virtuallly) some very cool people - like the ones on my sidebar. If you do, send the link! We do worry and stress about how we look and it does never really goes away it just hides for a while sometimes. None of us are perfect, but that's what makes us all interesting. This is a really short comment as it's eight and I've got another thousand words to go on the essay and although your compliment about fun and full of wisdom is lovely, no-one could write a fun essay on the subject I've been given...(I know, I googled the title!) Good luck with your debate and GCSE! Glad to improve your mood Olivia.

Also, I remember being an adolescent and having no-one think that my opinion was valid and it really pissed me off. Everybodies opinion is valid even if (and this is the bit I find really hard to implement) it's a really stupid opinion - and yours is not. Anyway. Speech and Debate on Fat is not a Feminist Issue? Think yourself lucky! My debate was on school uniforms and whether we should wear them. Well, by now you've probably gathered that I pinched the title of this blog from the famous book of the same name, and if you really want to be bored you could always read it (I did, when I was about 15 and going through my feminist stage - thankfully it didn't last long, don't bother!). But if you want something interesting to read along the same lines, have you tried Germaine Greer? especially her magazine articles from the seventies and eighties. There is a book made up of them kicking around somewhere - google it or look on amazon and then get it out of the library. As far as deciding to stop being anorexic goes, I don't think that I ever really have. It happened then because I was going through a really bad time at school and at home and because I was always taller than other girls my age. It improved after a while but whenever I get stressed or unhappy it came back. It is all about control and wanting to be perfect, perfect at school, perfect looking, perfectly behaved. I also think that its about wanting people to look after you because you are so unhappy. Almost as if they see you so thin and then they can wave a magic want to make everything better. I don't think that it will every really go away, I still weigh myself whenever I go into the bathroom, I still feel fat everytime that I eat and I still measure myself against the skinny blonde girl I might see. But, acceptance of yourself (which comes with age unfortunately), knowing how to dress to make the most of yourself and realising that everyone else feels the same as you do - helps. As does being happy... As far as do I write all these rants in half an hour - yes, can't you tell! (and as far as knowing what I'm talking about, I never pretend that I do) HOpe that helped. Have to get back to finishing my essay now! hx PS. I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering from intense boredom (might I suggest that you get a blog? you definitely have a way with words! - if you do add your link in the comments and I'll put it on my blogroll) Actually I do care about what you say, because you’ve taken the time not only to read through the post but to comment on it and that’s worthy of respect.
