\"don't<\/a>
don’t let the media inform you how you’re supposed to feel about yourself.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Can we make a pact? I just did something that made me so mad, and I don’t want to do it again, so I wonder, will you make a pact with me not to support a media that exploits other human beings as a means to achieve their own ends?<\/p>\n

This is what I did. I clicked on a link that said something like “14 Famous Celebs with Terrible Teeth.” \u00a0I’m not going to link to it. \u00a0And for some reason I started clicking through it and it made me angrier and angrier and angrier. Why? Why would someone just make fun of someone else (someone more famous and more accomplished\u00a0than they are) just to get clicks and to get traffic? Why? \u00a0I guess because people click on those kinds of things.<\/p>\n

But can we stop?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because I’m sick of people making money by making fun of other people. And I’m sick of people (celebs and non celebs alike) feeling insecure and ugly and not good enough because it’s somehow socially acceptable and even encouraged to trash on people’s appearances.<\/p>\n

So can you join me and\u00a0vow not to click on links that are purposely defaming people based on what they are wearing, how fat (or skinny) they’ve become, how much they’ve aged, what kind of bad plastic surgery they’ve gotten or whatever else they are gossiping about?<\/p>\n

It’s up to us to change the way we are valued by choosing carefully what we pay attention to. And clicking on something is powerful. Choosing not to is more powerful. \u00a0When we choose not to click, we keep ourselves safe by not engaging in toxic looksist gossip. We might not be able to put an end to this type of cyber bullying but we may be able to feel better by not engaging in it. We disengage from a paradigm\u00a0that is critical of ourself and of others.<\/p>\n

If we want to really support our own positive body image, we have to stop supporting a media that devalues people based on their outward appearance. So can we make a pact? Can you “sign” this by putting a note in the comments vowing not to support a media that devalues women and men based on their appearances, and pass this along encouraging others to \u00a0vow to not click on those mean links.<\/p>\n
