ACTION

DATE:11/5/12
===We have 3 ideas for our action and all of them are to remind people that they don´t need to be the same as other people to fit in the society, here is the plan of the action we want to make for next week.=== ===- NO BRAND DAY : Each person can come to school in street clothe but it can´t have the name of an expensive brand on the shirt or the pants, it just need to be a street cloth that represents your self and you feel comfortable with.( we couldnt make this idea , because we are pushing people to tell lies to others , probably it will higher up self steem but maby people dosent mean everything they said.)===

Look the letter we made to ask for permission so they allowed us to make the action:

** Dear Mrs. Diane and Mrs. Patricia, ** We are a group of 6 graders who have the topic of fashion pressure, and we hope we can make a change. In this letter, we are asking you for permission to make our action at school, which can let people understand how important is to belief in them self and also make them realize that the beauty that really matters is the inside one. Our actions is call the non-brand day. Kids can come with any cloth that express their selfs, and the most important that is comfortable. There is only one condition for this day, and its that other kids cannot bully or make fun of the other students if they don’t use a brand cloth. Maybe you will be thinking this isn’t an idea that will help a lot, but its because before this day we are also giving out a circular announcing this day and explaining why, for what, how is it going to work at school and how its going to help people. We need to highlight that this isn’t our only action, we have already started with other ideas we had have, and we have received help from different teachers that would help us to accomplish them. We already pasted some posters around the school which say DON’T BEND TO FASHION PRESSURE, this means: don’t get in your knees or don’t loose your personality for fashion pressure. We are also going to make an article on the newspaper, and we are going to talk in the radio, to explain what are the consequences, and to make mostly teens that are the ones more affected understand the importance that is stopping fashion pressure. We also are asking you for permission of letting us give out some bracelets we made for making people remember, that everyone is unique and free to do what they want and to make them know what serious things happen when people get affected. We hope you agree with us and with our action and we would like to receive an answer soon. Thank you BY: ANA LUCIA M, DANIELA L & VANESSA C BY : ANA LUCIA MADRID

PRESION DE LA MODA, ALTERANDO A LOS ADOLECENTES! Alguna vez has tenido que lidiar con la presión de la moda ? Bueno somos nosotras una niñas las cuales estamos hacienda un proyecto, en el que nos propusimos parar este problema que esta sucediendo alrededor del mundo, causando traumas físicos y psicológicos que pueden llegar a provocar la muerte. Al hacer investigación e indagar sobre el tema, hemos notado que los mas afectados son los adolescentes y en especial el genero de la mujer , ya que son mas vulnerables y reciben presión de todos los medios de comunicación tales como las revistas, televisión y de vez en cuando tu familia también aporta en el problema. La presión de la moda proviene como ya se menciono de los medios, pero es transmitida por los propios compañeros. Para los adolecentes es muy importante entrar en la sociedad, ya que en esta época es cuando las fiestas comienzan y tanto las mujeres como los hombres quieren conseguir pareja y para esto tienen que tener lo que es considerado belleza , y por supuesto que si un adolecente tiene unos kilos de mas va a ser excluid@ por sus compañeros y ser tratada como GORD@ o FE@. El adolescente que esta sufriendo de rechazo, solo piensa en que el es el que debe de cambiar y pone su cuerpo y mente en riesgo para hacerlo. Estos problemas físicos son como -La anorexia -Daños a los órganos ( consumir droga) -Bulimia. Pero también ocurren problemas psicológicos como es -La adicción -Intento de suicidio. Y todas las mencionadas anteriormente ya que el daño físico se lo provoca la misma persona, Pero el psicológico fue provocado por seres cercanos. Nuestro propósito al hacer este articulo, era para mostrarle a ustedes los lectores y decirles que cuiden a sus hijos y los apoyen cuando se sientan solos, y se den cuenta cuando sus hijos estén dentro del problema, y así poderlos ayudar a sentirse únicos, porque la belleza que en realidad importa es la interna.

===-CAMPAING: We are making a reminder for each person on 6th grade of how bad fashion pressure is, we will make this by making some bracelets which have some quotes in it. We are also planning to make small posters to make understand people that peer pressure has affected all people's life.=== = =
