Hi, I'm a new registrant. I just discovered this wonderful site yesterday and my thoughts went immediately to my 19 year old daughter. She's unusual in that she's NOT so overwhelmed by society's view of what she should be. She has the usual insecurities of a young woman, but is basically happy with herself.
Others her age, however, are already planning surgeries and cosmetic procedures to improve what they see as--and what they've been told are--flaws. The messages they receive from the media are powerful. Youth and physical perfection are good. Maturity and laugh lines are bad.
I am 48 years old and feel good about my age, my appearance and what I can contribute. I would like to think that by the time my daughter is my age, the media will have learned to show a more honest portrayal of mature women. We come in many shapes and sizes, with many unique attributes and talents. We're smart, fun and, yes, even sexy!
