By Guest Blogger – Ms. Hardly Concealed
Who better to educate me / us about teens and body image than the usual teen naturist girl! Fortunate for me, there is a wonderful family who I love dearly, and as luck would have it, one of the daughters is 15 years old, a naturist and a gifted writer! Below is the article she wrote specially for us.
Teen Girls And Body Image Problems
Teenage Body Image and Naturism
I simply recently turned 15 years old. I am a teen girl and I Have been a naturist for the last 3 years. Currently, I attend an all-girls school where personal growth and development are strongly supported. As a consequence, body acceptance can also be common in our community. Despite this, the pupils around me still appear to have a hard time accepting their own bodies. As a teenager, I’m faced regular with dilemmas and worries concerning my body and others. At school, regardless of who you hang out with, you hear folks say stuff like; “I’m too fat.” “You’re so pretty!” “My boobs are too little.” “My boobs are too big.” “I wish I looked like you.”
Teenage Body Image
Personally I don’t find these issues to be as pressing. As a young child, I loved to read and learn. I didn’t watch lots of TV or read magazines. By averting those two media sources, I managed to prevent so much of the mainstream media’s thoughts. I was not comparing myself to models and I looked up to my parents as examples of good grownups. My father was also a image-shoot stylist for some time, which presented me to an entirely different perspective of trend than the broadly accepted view. I saw trend and clothes in general, to have two primary uses: function and/or expression.
I understood I could not seem like a model in a magazine, but I also understood that models didn’t seem like models in magazines. Hairdressers, make-up artists, photographers, and stylists all brought to the persona that would be the product of the photo-shoot. In fact, only a small few of the pictures shot ever make it to the public eye. [flv:http://beachnymphs.com/upload/89.mp4 ../../upload/203.jpg 100% 300]

Understanding this relieved that pressure of living up to the images of attractiveness which were illustrated in fashion magazines everywhere.
Nevertheless, I still started to become insecure. You’ll find two things that helped me gain self-confidence and acceptance of my own body. Dance and naturism actually enabled me to overcome my insecurities. Naturism on the other hand, allowed me to really see that nobody was the same. Everybody was distinct and the socially approved views of attractiveness were limited to some small amount of real individuals. Even then, they did not fit the ideal perfectly.
In general, I discovered attractiveness to be an extremely subjective ideal that depended on the situation and individual. Most of us struggle with body image and comparing ourselves to others makes it worse. I found that, accepting that your body will grow in a unique way is a fundamental part of body approval.
How I discovered the wonders of nudist lifestyle want to thank Ms. Barely Hidden for composing this amazing blog about Driving nude is like having a portable nudist resort! I mean for us! Please feel free to comment and show her the love and recognition she deserves!
