Some High School Girls Covered Up The Mirrors In Their Bathrooms With INspiration Quotes About Body Image

Source- Girls at Trinity Academy, a private Christian school in Kansas, wrote messages and bible verses, like “People are like oreos ... the good stuff is on the inside” and “Mirrors are just glass. And you are more than that” on a giant piece of butcher’s paper.

“We were trying to think of ideas of how we could serve the underclassmen and make the most impact,” senior student Hannah Hancock told local news station KWCH12.

“Especially as freshmen and sophomores, you’re trying to find your identity and who you are and we want them to find their identity in God and in Christ and not in a mirror and not what their outward appearance looks like.”

“Everywhere you look you hear people talking about being body-shamed or hating their image,” she said.

“I think it’s easy to forget when you are just caught up in everyday life so I think whenever you look up and expect to see yourself and you see something positive like, you are made in God’s image.”

“I really hope that people will see this and see that there are girls out there who are encouraging other girls to just be who they are,” said Jordan. “So I just hope that it continues growing on that.”





"Guess what ladies, everyone is beautiful! So, as a favor to those of you that might not think you are beautiful, we decided to put up this drab packaging paper that tells you how beautiful you are. After all, that's way more aesthetically pleasing than looking at yourself, am I right?"

This sentence right here is all you need to read...

“I think it’s easy to forget when you are just caught up in everyday life so I think whenever you look up and expect to see yourself and you see something positive like, you are made in God’s image.”

Let me see if I got this right. You blocked the mirrors so people could see something positive when they looked up instead of seeing themselves. Okay, but wasn't the whole point that seeing yourself is the same thing as seeing something positive? If that's the case then wouldn't these corny, nauseating quotes have had more of an effect if they were written next to the mirror? That way you could associate the positivity of the message with the body you see in the reflection. I don't even know why I am trying to sort through this rationally when it would take a person that just rode in on their unicorn from Pleasantville to think that all body types are beautiful.

This is such a Hannah Hancock thing to do. No way a girl with that name is attractive. I bet if she was granted one wish it would be that mirrors never existed. She's just using these Bible verses as a ploy to pretend that they don't. Oh yeah, I bet a bunch of superficial high school girls collectively got together and decided that their favorite thing to look at, themselves, would be better off replaced by recycled brown paper littered with Psalms. Something tells me it's a little more likely that the good looking girls just feel pity for Hannah and her merry band of garden gnomes. Just sitting there like, "You want to block the mirrors? Sure, go ahead. We know we look good". Hannah, take a step back for a second, just because you can't see you doesn't mean that everyone else can't see you. Everything short of blinding the entire school isn't going to put an end to body shaming. I could be fucking invisible and still judge someone for being gross. If an ugly girl accepts how she looks then I can respect her self confidence, but it doesn't mean I am not going to identify her as an ugly girl, no matter how many fucking mirrors you block. 


Riddle me this ladies. If no one is ugly then how can anyone be beautiful?
