Sexual Assault, Body Image & Pornography.

I have definitely dealt with body image throughout my life, but most recently in high school & college. I think it was my sophomore year when I started starving myself & working out 2-3 times a day. I remember getting in a fight with my mom, raising my arms, and having her smile because I had muscle tone under there. People told me I looked good, but I didn't feel good. It took me physically harming myself to get compliments, and for the most part, I wasn't okay with that. It's always been a struggle for me, but now that I'm in college, I feel more pressure than ever. Southern California is a different world. It should be on it's own clock. People have SO much more pressure to be perfect because we're so close to Hollywood. It'd ridiculous. Everyone here is perfect, and I feel inadequate. I'm working on that, I swear, but I'm not going to lie, it's something REALLY hard for me to deal with.

I don't know what to say about sexual assault, but with pornography... I know it's a huge struggle for guys. I personally haven't seen or had a problem with it, but I know friends who do. I think the best thing that we, as women of God, can do, is dress modestly and not like a slut. We don't want to be compared to those fake women in the porn anyways, so why do we dress like them? We don't stand for kinky sex or anything even remotely close to that, so we should keep whatever we have covered & respect our future husbands in that same sense.
