Media sells false beauty
Today in my HS Morality class the students made a project from cutting pictures out of magazines. Someone donated a bunch of Cosmo's for me to use but as I was going through them I realized that Cosmo is soft porn. It has pictures of nearly naked women. I am not just talking immodest clothing but actually pictures with girls just covering their "private parts". The articles were all about sex and the best kind of birth control (gag), "how to be good in bed" and many other crazy topics. I was horrified. I could not believe what lies girls are fed these days. They are basically being told that they need to be naked, excessively thin, and an animal in bed to be worth anything. I pray that today on the birth of our Blessed Mother we see a rebirth of true beauty and real value for women.

Did you end up using the Cosmo magazines for the project? They are horrible. The most saddening thing, is that many girls learn about relationships, sex, values ect. from these types of magazines. I remember looking up things I was curious about on cosmo.com as a teen, and it is clear to say that it can easily lead one astray...
