SAY YES TO FASHION

SAY YES TO FASHION!

Barbies! We all know that you need to always look at your best for you to have the confidence to start and live your day everyday.  As I have searched the net, I came up with this fashion tips that are applicable to teenagers like us today.

• Forget about the word “fashion” and think “style” – it may be mentally less intimidating or more “wearable”! says Ripley.

• Even if you stay at home, make an effort to dress everyday as if you are going out. This changes your whole approach to even the most mundane household chores. You will find you have a more positive attitude and are less inclined to be reduced to a couch potato, in your slovenly sweat pants and baggy T-shirt.

• Clear out your closet. Get rid of those items which are outdated, do not suit you or simply do not make you feel good. Make room for that new wardrobe of clothes that you are going to build, slowly, piece by piece.

• Take stock of how many classic items you currently have in your closet. Start building new outfits which will prove versatile and timeless – go anywhere and do anything. You should aim to have a wardrobe base of well cut, classic pieces and a few cheap fun, fashionable outfits that are right on trend, which can be replaced every season.

• Treat your wardrobe as an investment. "Create a closet that is full of must-have pieces rather than make-do ones," adds Ripley.

• Ensure that your wardrobe is built around some style staples which will take you from season to season and can be dressed up or down. A good coat, a little black dress, a wrap dress, well cut denims, a classic pair of black pants, cashmere cardigan and a stylish crisp white shirt. Update these looks every season with some fab accessories.

• Get to know your body shape. Are you a pear, apple, brick, hour glass or inverted triangle?  (Source: http://suite101.com/article/10-simple-style-tips-for-women-a43048)
  
  
  

 Above all these  things, you need to remember  that being fashionable has nothing to do with the size of your body. It doesn’t matter if you’re fat or skinny as long as you are confident with  yourself and in what you’re wearing, you are BEAUTIFUL! You need not to spend a lot of money to become fashionable. You need not to follow the trends to become beautiful. KEEP ON SMILING AND BE CONFIDENT OF WHAT YOU ARE TODAY!!!

Fashion NO NO

One of the problems of teenagers nowadays is FASHION. "What to wear?" or "Does this look good to me?" are the common questions you'll hear from them. I can also say that as a teenager I also encounter this kind of problem. It is easy to find trendy stuffs in magazines or internet but what is tricky is how will you make yourself gorgeous with them. So I searched about FASHION DON'Ts in order to help young ladies to be fashionable without making themselves go overboard.

I search a lot of fashion don'ts but I only listed some of the most useful tips for our young ladies out there. Here are some:

1. Don't wear earring that are too big. You don't need it to highlight your looks.

2. Don't wear clothing that are too big. You don't want to look like a HANGER.

3. Don't wear your clothing too tight also.

4. Don't wear too many patterns in one time.

5. Don't wear too much laces.

6. Make-ups---The less the better. Don't over do it. Your are not a CLOWN.

7. Don't wear shoulder pads.

8. Don't wear colorful stockings. Nude color stockings are better.

9. Don't wear micro-mini skirts. They are just too short.

10. Don't overaccessorize.

11. Don't wear too many colors in one time.

12. Dress like a TEENAGER.

I think the most important tip is that BE YOURSELF. Don't impersonate celebrities or don't always think that if this looks good with them it will also looks good with you. Make your own signature.

TEENAGERS IN TODAY'S SOCIETY

           
        TEENAGERS IN TODAY'S SOCIETY
                                           

          Teenagers in today's society have a great degree,it is the best and the worst of all worlds.

         First, they are born into a society that couldn't be more revolutionary and innovative. They have all these gadgets at their disposal that their parents dream of and their grandparents couldn't even imagine. They have an incredible amount of information to aid their development. They also have opportunities  to express themselves, to extend their reach, to discover their potential and to enhance their life quality. Besides the teenagers today appear to be revolting throughout the world.Teenagers today also influences by some bad  factors. For example, moral values and graciousness in the past were prominent in most teenagers. However,today these moral values and self-discipline hold by the teenagers are gradually diminishing over the years. This lack of self-discipline and self control is becoming more and more apparent over time. Even the simplest of morals say, respect, care and consideration are fading away over the years. In particular, a simple display of respect like offering the elderly a seat on the bus is being replaced by other violent acts.                                          

          Furthermore,teenagers of today tend to lead a modern lifestyle as compared to teenagers in the past.Unlike those days,teenagers are forced to stay inside the house and play all kinds of simple games while teenagers today have variety of choice of games just like computer games.

          Finally, teenagers are increasingly operating within a world of their own through technology, especially with the new games they often lacking human warmth and comfort. They occupy a suspicious world where hugs and basic affection come with questions, doubts and caution. Many of them go through each day missing out on a simple cuddle, a word of praise, a hug, an affirmation of how wonderful they are and without understanding, affection and value. Without the extended family of friends and neighbours who used to affirm us and look after us, many youth now feel isolated, independent and unloved. This increases the deviant tendency among them as many struggle to deal with their anger and pain.      

          As a whole teenagers today live in a remarkable world compared to the pastyear.

Women's Achievement Today

The empowerment of women refers to providing the necessary rights and responsibilities to women in order to make them self-reliant. Traditionally, Indian women have been brought to become workers or servants to serve the man – dominating world. Even in mythology, there is no gender equity and women were deprived of their legal rights, to get property, education privacy, social status and they were never treated as participants in any developmental works. Empowerment is the process of building capacities of women, creating an atmosphere which will enable people to fully utilize their creative potentials. Empowerment gives women, the capacity to influence decision making process, planning, implementation and evaluation. The status of women empowerment using various indicators like women's household decision making power, financial autonomy, freedom of movement, political participation, acceptance of unequal gender role, exposure to media, access to education, experience of domestic violence etc based on data from different sources. Gender gap exists regarding access to education and employment. Household decision-making power and freedom of movement of women vary considerably with their age, education and employment status.

Women were like "useless" before especially in our society. But obviously in our present time, women can also do men's job and amazingly can be trusted in all of the things unlike before. I can say that gender gap doesn't exist anymore. Today, we can hear stories, witness experiences of women who did a great job to survive the complication of living.





One frequent example, SINGLE MOMS. We all know that being a mother isn't that simple. Having been raised by a woman who gave her best just to give her child quality education and a but surely attainable future is indeed a GREAT ACHIEVEMENT in her part. Nowadays, stories about different women's achievement are mostly heard and seen. This can probably let everyone in the world see that women now are most likely FUNCTIONAL, INFLUENTIAL and INSPIRATIONAL unlike the old times where the capability of women were limited.

They may or may not keep the house clean. Many will only do their own laundry stating, "You have hands why don't you do your own laundry," to their husbands. Expects her husband to do half of the household work.  They are self entitled(to what I don't know).

Today's Teens

Teenagers or what we so-called TEENS are the persons whose age are between 13-19. As I can see it, teens today differ a lot from the teens of yesterdays. Maybe your mother or your grandmother told you stories on how they lived as teenagers before. And maybe you'll notice that it is a lot different from how you live as teenagers today.

Teenagers today are more fierce, adventurous, smart, free-spirit and FASHIONABLE. They don't just stay at home and knit clothes or do some gardening or cooking. They engaged themselves to the things they want to do. Some of these things are done by the adults already. For example, they use their passion for something to earn money and start a business. Some young ladies who has a passion for fashion sells clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry and many more.

I can say that teenagers today are really fashionable. They have their own taste of styles. Even though some of them just wear shirt and jeans, they make sure that they will look perfect with it by putting their own little touch of confidence and don't forget, accessories.We can't deny that young ladies today love to wear make-ups. It is part of their beauty routine aside from dressing up. And don't forget the topic of love and boys. This is very famous among the teens today.
