Is It Worth the Fight? 29 Replies

Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it. As a child, the relationship with my dad revolved only around manipulation. He'd rape me, and then cry on my shoulder apologizing and saying I "was the only…Continue

You had many resources growing up that she did not, I think that makes you a totally different person with a totally different outlook on life, love and self-worth.  We all struggle with it and some more than others but in time she will…

What Is My Worth?

So today I find myself sitting down and looking at my homework. I have a speech to do for English. Hmm... topic: ''Because You're Worth It'' - L'Oreal.I found myself stuck and not sure about what to write. But I immediately thought of V-Girls. What Is My Worth?  Last year I had the privilege to meet Eve Ensler at one of her workshops here in JoBurg. Such inspiration I remember having, seeing and being around girls who went through the same things that I did. And most of all knowing its okay to…See More

If you are tired of giving up-stop going back.

My sister is 18 years old.. She has a son and a boyfriend/ex-boyfriend (depends on the day) that I believe she relies on for support, for happiness, and for defiance of her own self worth..I cannot tell you how much this angers me, as her big sister I see now where I think she has so much room to grow. However, I do not know how to help her move on nor do I truly understand why she stays.. I can sympathize making the situation work for the kids benefit, but I also believe in the affects the…See More

It's a Boy!

The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, "It's a girl." ~Shirley Chisholm  I found this quote quite recently and it sparked some personal reflection within me. There are so many decisions and assumptions that are made the moment our sex declared (whether male or female). But not at my birth. I was given a second chance. You see, during the actual birthing process, the doctor took one look at my full, dark head of hair and declared, “Oh, I’m…See More

What we should aspire for

Being a girl takes courage. I understand that now and that is why I am willing to face challenges instead of accepting them as what has always been. 

I live in a world where the sexualization of girls my age, in music video's made by our favorite artists, pornography, modeling etc., is encouraged and accepted. What is even more discouraging is the fact that challenging this is labeled as 'boring' or even 'out of tune with the times'.

I live in a world where girls are only…

Paternity or nothing..

I find out im pregnant and he drops to the floor..

Am I the only one strong enough to hold my footing across this spehere of continents?

The Lord is my witness, this is the path he chose when all things fought against it.

My body lost this battle and surrendered to fate, its supporting itself and you have to keep it,

my little miracle

my little...

my little..

my little.. piece of you.

my little... gift. I suck in the thick air like…

It's so hard

Each day I wake up knowing that I have a secret.

I walk through the halls, through my own house, and it

Engulfs me.

Erasing my real life on the internet because if I was found out,

I might have to be gone.

I might not have a fake life either.

I have to pretend.

I have to sit in this mold that was made for me

While I stagnate.

While I wither and falter and share my words in a careful manner.

Don't want to draw too much…
