What are your thought on things such as:  
 
-The way young girls and women treat each other today? Viciously, Catty, Kind, Understanding? Could they treat each other better? If they are treating each other poorly..Why?  
 
-The way they feel about themselves? Is self esteem lower then ever? Are they over confident?  
 
-Is media greatly affecting thing such as self esteem and body image? Is there to much over sexualzition of young women? Do they feel more of a need to be sexy, perfect, and to "put out" in order to be wanted by men.. and if so do you think this is because of the media and being plastered with images of "perfect" women each and everyday?  
 
-What do these messages tell young school age girls? Are they thinking that is how they should act as they watch a music video with 20 beautiful girls with next to no clothing on "shake their stuff" for the guys?  
 
-Is this affecting the respect they have for themselves?  
 
-Is if affecting the level of respect boys have for girls and will have as they grow up? Is it making them believe women are only here to please them?  
 
-Is a young mind able to see the difference between the media and what real life should be like and what real people should look like and act...or to easily influenced by it?  
 
-Is it much different then when some of you were younger? Is there more pressure, less or about the same for girls to look perfect and act sexual?  
 
-If you are younger women, what are your own personal experinces?  
 
-Are boys/young men easier on each other? Do they feel the same pressure to look "perfect" that young girls and women do?  
 
And any other observations one might have noticed..
