INTRODUCTION (Post 1)

This blog is inspired by the influence of labels and how they affect teenage girls perceptions of themselves. As a fifteen year old girl I have some perspective on the influences of being labeled, esp. by the opposite sex. When someone comments positively or negatively on how I look or something about my appearance whether its the truth or not it sways my view of myself. In this project I would like to gain some perspective on other teens experiences with being labeled and whether or not those labels define their sense of self. I wonder if I would be who I am now without the outside influences or labels throughout my life.
