Artifact #5

"Get Real." COSMO Girl Feb. 2007: 66.

This article is inspiring. It also reveals a source of pressure to be thin. In elementary school, Treneice Whitehead was made fun of for being overweight. It is not uncommon, and is all over the world. This story took place in Maryland. To overcome the remarks, she didn't give in to eating disorders or fad diets, she organized fashion shows for plus sized girls. Treneice says that "there is no such thing as being too big to be beautiful".
