Page 2 | Girl Bullies

What I never understood was, if they were so popular and loved, why did they need to be so mean? If I had the kind of power they did back in junior high, I would’ve been nice to everybody and made friends with as many people as possible no matter what they looked like. I mean, I was nice to everyone that talked to me, but most people either ignored me or were rude to me so I didn’t really have a choice but to keep to myself. Most of the “popular girls” weren’t even that pretty like they thought they were.

There was Bonny who was quite short and chubby. She’s the one who attempted to give me ink poisoning by stabbing me with a pen.

Nichole who was very tall chubby, had a deep voice and was zit-faced. She’s the one who asked me if she could try my drink, and then said she was going to drink out of the cap because she didn’t want herpes. I was the clean virgin who never had a cold sore, while she had cold-sores all the time and slept with like 10 people already (8th grade!)

Candace laughed like a witch and had the most squaky voice I’d ever heard. She also had a pointy nose and chubby cheeks. She also fake tans and has the most orange skin ever. She’s the one who told me I couldn’t sit beside her on the bus when it was the only seat left.

There was also Lindsay who looked like she was wearing a mouth guard when her mouth was closed because her teeth were so big and she wore braces. She’s been a bully to everyone forever. She had a guy put her disgusting fallen-out tooth into our pizza dough during cooking class!

Shannon, the “chair theif, locker-door slammer” was overly tall and chunky with a very big nose, and looked as if she never washed or brushed her hair.

Jenifer thought she was the cream of the crop. She was only from a middle-class family, but made it sound like her family was rich. She thought she was the hottest girl alive. In reality she had a freckled face, pointy nose, mean looking eyes, too-thin eyebrows, and crowed teeth. She also blinked way too much. It always looked like she had something in her eyes. Probably mascara and eyeshadow since she wore a pound of makeup.

There was also Kyra was about 100 pounds overweight and had short curly hair just like my grandma! She always dressed in guy’s clothes too. Looks shouldn’t matter, I know this. The only reason I am describing how they looked is because they thought they were so much better than everyone else. Think about it; I bet the most meanest girls in your school have some major flaws! They’re no better than you and me.

I know the mean girl bullies in my school were no better than my friend and I. I was tanned and had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. I wore makeup the same way as this popular girl Heather, but when I did it I was told I looked like a clown! My best friend had long dark hair and bright blue eyes, perfect teeth and was very skinny, but she got picked on a lot because people saw her as being shy and weak, and unwilling to fight back. Just like I wouldn’t fight back.

By now, you’re probably thinking, of course! The only reason they pick on beautiful girls or smart girls who seem great, are so that the rest of the school sees them as being worthless. This way, the girl bullies can make themselves look better! Sneaky, huh?

So for those of you that think you’re being picked on or left out because of your looks – it’s not that at all. Some of the most ugliest girls in the school were in the popular crowd. All of these girls were very mean and did or said something to me that left a scar. They will never be beautiful inside OR out. They are nothing but jealous and insecure, craving popularity unlike any other.

There were other girls that this group hung out with, but their names and descriptions aren’t worth mentioning because they ignored me completely, rather than making fun of me. They didn’t do or say anything mean to me – ever, they just made me feel as if I didn’t exist. You know why that is? Because their little workers (the girl bullies) do all that for them, and find who is worthy of being their friends. To them, the only people worth being popular are those who can make themselves look like they are full of confidence and are fun to be with at the same time.

All I’m saying is, if I were in their place, I would have been friendly to people who they could clearly see were getting left out. I would have made them feel like they belong. The older I get, the more I realize those could’ve been the best days of my life. When I reached ninth grade I stopped caring so much about what those girls said about me, or how they ignored me. I made many new friends and barely saw those girls anymore.

If I could go back now, I’d have showed them up on how dumb they were and how ugly they were inside and out. I would’ve made the whole school realize it was people like me and my close friends who were accepting of people, always nice to everyone, and were the true beauties of the school – because we were beautiful inside, and that would make us beautiful on the outside too.

So if you are a “mean girl”, or a girl bully, think about what you get out of being so mean. Is your confidence really that low that you have to treat everyone like garbage? I hope after you graduate highschool you’re left with no friends because nobody will want to hang out with a meanie like you. I hope when you enter the world of work or college that you deal with people that are mean to you, and that you have no clique of friends to back you up. Actually, I really don’t hope this at all, but you really need to change your attitude.

To all you beautiful girls, keep up the good work! I know at times it may be embarrassing to be nice to someone the whole school thinks is a loser, because then they’ll think you’re a loser too. But Stay strong, be nice to everybody, and once you graduate highschool you’ll have so many friends and people who will remember you forever and think, wow that was such a nice person. Beautiful on the inside and out

Take a look at this gorgeous picture of Model Elaine. Her hair is perfect, skin is flawless, even her posture & poise are perfect. She seems to have the perfect body, face, hair, and outfit!

Guess what? It’s clearly not a real photo. We enhanced it quite a bit. How?

We first took the hair and dress from a picture of Anna Kornikova. We tilted Elaine’s head to match the posture. We then ran her picture through a “skin smoother” in photoshop, adjusted the brightness and contrast. In the original picture, Elaine looked angry, so we lifted the eyebrows, and erased the somewhat-dark circles under her eyes. We made the nose a bit smaller, added colour to her lips, turned her lips into more of a smile rather then the frown that she originally had. We changed her eye color, and ran through another filter to make sure her hair and everything matched, and fit well together.

Altogether, the entire process took about three hours (including the time spent finding the perfect hair and dress to complement her look).

Here is the original picture of Elaine:

As you can see, she is a beautiful girl already.

She is actually a professional model, and in this photo she has her hair and makeup done. However we wanted to give her a more modern and younger look.

She seemed to be very impressed with the final result.

This should hopefully change your ways of thinking when you see how much this image was altered – the same way many celebrities pics were altered!

So, next time you don’t feel pretty because your boyfriend is drooling over some “hot” celebrity in the movie you’re watching… don’t take it personally. Simply tell him that if you had the opportunity to, you would hang around a personal trainer all day – everyday… eat nothing… have hair and makeup professionals following you around… and have a video editor enhance and filter through every move you make to be sure that your boyfriend only sees those picture perfect frames of you. Because once you strip all those away from those “hot” celebrities and supermodels… what becomes of them? They’re just regular girls… a body made up of cells and molecules… just like the rest of us.

If you haven’t already read our article on how magazines and TV / Movies always change the appearance of celebs and models so that they look absolutely flawless, you can check it out here. We decided to add on a bunch of photos of celebs without makeup, because many young girls still seem to feel inferior to celebs they think are the most beautiful girls they’ve ever seen. After a recent poll, 88% of girls said they felt inferior to celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Vanessa Hudgens, etc., and felt that these girls were prettier than them. Of course, what they don’t realize, is that celebs all have the best professional makeup artists, hair stylists, and at least a dozen people fussing over them to make sure they look as perfect as possible. Next, they have professional photographers who use only the best lighting and camera filters to ensure they look even more flawless and have as little shadows on their face as possible. Then, celebs also have graphic artists who use filters to smooth out their skin, fix the shape of their face, the size of their nose, tan their skin, whiten their teeth a little more, brighten their eyes, and make them look like a work of art. Now occasionally, people with regular cameras and no special lighting sneak regular photos of celebs without makeup, and as a result, you get average and normal looking pictures of people who look no better than you or I. I had a hard time guessing who was in this photo to the left when I first saw it… In fact, I knew it was Justin Timberlake, so I figured it must be his GF, Jessica Biel with him. And I was correct!You might agree that without her special makeup and photo or video filters, she looks no better than you or any other girl… there’s nothing really special about her. But the confidence that she gets from her fans calling her “beautiful” or “sexy” has led her to tell Allure Magazine that “it’s hard being beautiful.” Many other celebs gain this kind of confidence from their fans. After all, wouldn’t YOU feel gorgeous if you had hundreds of people telling you how beautiful you are every single day?

Miley, Vanessa, and Britney appear to be wearing a little mascara, and who’s to say that none of these girls are not wearing any cover-up? They could be. But these are regular, untouched pictures and as you can see… they look like regular people.

Help Obama Give Our Planet a “Make-over“

By: Connor Kidd

In today’s ever-changing planet of polluting acts and contaminating habitats, most of us believe that only one man has what it takes to pull us onto a track of recovery toward a Green and energy efficient society. That man is the current U.S. president, Barack Obama.The U.S. is a powerful country that affects many other countries around the world, so having someone like Barrack Obama in office is great for the entire planet’s environment.

Now, Obama seems to be doing his part, but what about the rest of us? We don’t have to sit back and let one man make all the changes. We can plant trees, drive less, exercise more by walking or biking, use natural resources, make your own natural beauty products, quit using plastic, recycle more, anything it takes.

President Obama has already made drastic improvements in the condition of our planet’s fading health. Obama has decided that the elimination of child lead poisoning should be one of his top priorities – we can’t even believe that is still a problem in today’s society! Obama is also working on a number of different efforts to try and help increase access to and use of renewable fuels, rather than fossil fuels.

When Obama was in the Senate, he was able to pass legislation which gave gas stations some sort of a tax credit for installing environmentally healthier E85 ethanol refueling pumps. Also, as for the hugely debated issue of global warming, Barrack Obama has tons of great ideas to put a stop to the trend.

On Barrack Obama’s website, Barackobama.com, the President says that the issue of our planet’s climate change is one that people ignore at their own peril. There could still be debate about exactly how much people are contributing to the heating of the Earth’s atmosphere, or how much is naturally occurring. He also said that what we can be scientifically sure of is that our constant utilization of fossil fuels is sending us to a point of no return.

As part of President Barrack Obama’s plan, he is going to be developing some domestic incentives that reward farmers, forest owners, and ranchers whenever they restore grasslands, plant trees, or undertake any farming practices which reduce carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, while at the same time doubling funding for science and research to go towards clean energy projects that include those that make use of our solar and wind resources, and biomass. Even still, more than a few citizens find these plans to be less than acceptable.

In a past debate between Obama and another Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, she said that there was an energy bill passed in 2005 was bombarded with all sorts of additional interest breaks and giveaways to the major oil companies. When Barrack Obama was senator, he voted for it, according to Clinton. She claims she did not vote for it because she knew it would turn out to be an absolute nightmare. Whether this is true or not, we don’t know, but all that matters is that our only environment is kept as healthy as possible.

What can we do? Be less wasteful. Don’t keep the water running while you brush your teeth, don’t shower any longer than you need to. Make many of your own homemade beauty products instead of buying packaged products. In the middle ages, and even in the early 1800’s, they made their own products, and they were still gorgeous as ever! So you see, there is so much you can do. Just keep the environment in mind before everything you do. Remember… It’s the only Earth we got!

It’s everywhere! All the smooth, flawless complexions, skinny stick thin waistlines, tower tall legs, the perfection. I’ll be honest with you – sometimes I get tired of seeing it. It’s all I see in magazines, movies, CD’s, books – everything!

And then I look in the mirror and I see the exact opposite. I know you do it too. You see, as females we were born with these unique personalities and body shapes, but we don’t look at it like that. All we see on ourselves are the hippie–hips… curvy tummies …short legs… imperfections in our skin… you name it, it’s there on the list. The list of “imperfections” seems to go on forever, but in Hollywood it’s non-existent because they don’t have that. Or do they? See girls, we live in a Barbie world – literally. On the covers of anything is a perfect, flawless image that is given to us on a silver platter and is said to be what we are supposed to look like. But it’s not. Celebs without makeup are just as beautiful as you and I.

So the hero of this story is going to be you and I. We are going to save the world, or at least a little percent of it anyways. So you want to know a secret? Those girls that you see that are perfect: double zero jeans, tall, with a flawless complexion and body, only represent 10% of the girls in America. You would never know that would you? I wouldn’t have, that’s for sure.

You see, everyone wants to be accepted, whether it’s at home, school, church, etc. we want to be accepted. And in this time and era to be accepted you have to be flawless from your head to your toes. But guess what? It’s not possible! That’s why I’m writing this: to show you something you might never have seen before.

There’s another side to this whole “perfection” theme. It’s called: there are no rules for perfection, because you are perfect! I know, roll your eyes. But it’s true- you see when we’re born we’re given exactly everything that makes us unique. We’re not given a cookie-cutter look that is exactly like Miley Cyrus, Angelina Jolie or Vanessa Hudgens. We’re given our own theme. It’s called the perfect unique theme, we all have them. That’s why no one looks exactly alike (unless you have a twin) until you do something to alter that image.

Unlike celebrities and supermodels, we don’t all have personal trainers to keep us in perfect shape, as well as makeup artists touching up our perfectly done makeup every few minutes or fixing our hair. We don’t have a professional photographer taking zillions of photos of us to make sure there is one perfect one in that bunch. We further, don’t have an expert graphic designer to touch up the perfect image so that is is absoulely flawless! Our natural image is what sets us apart from each other, and from the plastic in the world.

That’s why we’re made the way we are. I honestly wish that society would protray an image that is real, the real girl next door. Because honestly, I looked next door and that girl looked like me: messy hair, sweats and a shirt, and no makeup (and a few red spots). Now that’s real, and when you start adding all these fake layers of skin smoothing, pounds of makeup, thinning machines to images, it’s not the real deal. And that’s what should be there- the real, beautiful uniqe girl with the hippie-hips and curvy tummy. The girl with the bad hair days, and acne days. The girl that smiles and her teeth aren’t perfect either. That’s my kind of girl that I would want on the cover of a magazine, the real girl next door.

So girls, guess what? Want to know how to fix those problems? It’s not with photoshop, or plastic surgery. It’s with confidence, it’s with a ready smile and a beautiful girl like yourself, you can make it look amazing. So when you go back to school, hold you head up high and remember that the most beautiful thing a girl can wear is confidence. It’s the key to everything and plus, you look beautiful no matter what. So be you, be beautiful, be real, be a stunna.

I was on my way to pick up some groceries with my mom the day before Thanksgiving. A guy in my class that I liked was at the grocery store! I didn’t want him to see me there because I had my pajama pants on and was wearin an ugly jacket! I also had no makeup on and I usually wear a lot of makeup at school!

So I told my mom I had to go to the bathroom but really I hid in the crackers aisle hoping he wouldn’t see me. I saw him coming so I was about to dash into the next aisle but I bumped into a cute stock boy and made him drop all the cans he was holding! And of course the guy in my class heard and saw this and he laughed at me!

My mom found me and yelled at me from across the store right in front of these two guys because she saw me just standing there beside them and she had to get going. I apologized to the stock boy, and I told the guy in my class to have a happy thanksgiving and that I’d see him at school after the holidays. He said he wasn’t celebrating because he lived alone with his dad who got stuck working that day.

My mom was walking up to me and heard him say everything! I guess she felt bad for him because she said, “Oh Madyson, is this your friend Chris?”. Even though he wasn’t really my friend, he was just a guy that I really liked and I told everyone I was friends with him… I know… it’s embarrassing… Anyways, next thing I knew she told him he’s welcome to come over to our house. He said, “No thanks. I don’t want to be rude, but I don’t really know you guys…”.

I was humiliated! Why would my mom just go and invite him over? So my mom gave him our phone number anyways and said if he changes his mind he is very welcome to come for dinner, and he can get to know us. But he still said, “No Thanks.”

After the thanksgiving weekend, and back at school, I walked in and everyone was making fun of me for being so obsessed with Chris, telling my family about him when he hardly knows me, and “begging” him to come to my house for thanksgiving to meet my parents! Even though I didn’t, my mom did!

I was spending Thanksgiving with my boyfriend Ted for the first time. I didn’t know how to cook and I wanted to impress him with my cooking skills so I ordered food from a restaraunt: sliced turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, vegetables, pasta, and meatballs.

While he was watching football I told him I had to run the the store to get some ingredients. I really went to the restaurant to pick up the food. I had old plastic grocery bags in the car, so I put the restaraunt bags into those, to make it look like I went grocery shopping.

I came into the house and Ted was still busy watching football. I made it sound like I was cooking, and I put all the restaruant food into bowls and pots and pans and threw away the packages and paper bags they came in. I made it look like I really cooked it all!

So I told him dinner was ready, just in time! His game had just ended. As he was eating, he was complimenting me on what a great cook I was! After dinner he was helping me with the dishes and he noticed a receipt was stuck under one of the pots.

Maybe he wouldn’t have bothered to read it, if it didn’t have a giant Applebee’s logo on the top of it! We hadn’t ate there in months! He read everything that I bought, and was really mad at me for lying. On the plus side he saw how much everything cost and he gave me half the money for it! On the down side, he broke up with me because he couldn’t trust me and didn’t understand why I lied to him for months about what a great cook I was!
