First Draft
I believe in forgiveness. Forgiveness is typically defined as the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offence, difference or mistake, and ceasing to demancd punishment.
There are a lot of benefits with forgiveness. Forgiveness makes you happy and it makes the other person happy. Forgiveness also means letting go and moving on from what happened. It is not healthy to dwell on something for a long time. I belive that whats done is done and the only way to move on completely is to forgive.
I have done a lot of forgiving in my life. When somebody hurts me I am usually able to forgive fairly quickley. Although I may be able to forgive it certainly does not mean I am able to forget. I'd rather not stay upset over something and waste time being angry with someone when all I need to do is forgive and move on.

Assignment #1: "Eating Disorders"
A study has shown that nearly 80 percent of fourth grade girls in the Bay Area are watching their weight. I agree with Kilbourne in her assessment that preoccupation with weight begins at a very early age for women.
Being underweight can be just as unhealthy as being overweight. Women should not strive to be a size zero. They look at skinny models and movie stars and think they need to look like that. If the camara adds ten pounds then what do these women really look like? The media magizines should stress the health reasons for not wanting to be underweight and should also stress the downfalls of being to thin. Girls think that in order to fit in or be accepted they have to be stick thin.
We are all not born to be alike. What is a good and healthy weight for one person may not be so for another. We should not be looking at the numbers on the scale or the size of clothes, but on whats good on our health.
It is scary to think that its not just older women or teenagers that are concerned about their weight but young girl. We should teach children to be happy with themselves on the inside.
Women should practice healthy eating and exercise habits. You don't have to be skinny to be happy. You don't have to look like a model to be happy. The only thing that matters is that your happy with yourself.
