Long-Term Consequences

Sorry for the tech problems. I am still in the process of trying to upload a video ad for my church's Women's Day.

It was a big day where all the women got together to speak out about various issues they dealt with. The picture is one of the invitations. The questions on the dress were some of the issues discussed.

They had a female writer as a guest speaker, but a lot of the positive feedback I got about Women's Day was about the speakers from church. These were normal girls and women speaking about self-esteem and body image, issues of disability, relationship concerns and other stressful issues. I was not entirely surprised to hear that women of all ages are facing self-esteem issues in one form or another. But I was interested in how the older women all agreed that it is when girls are young that they are most vulnerable to these problems. Also, there was general agreement that how a young woman deals with these issues tends to stay with her later in life.

Feel free to respond to my comments.
