Girls Rock

At a first glace of the video I didn't really care for it very much.  As the video continued I am very glad that we watched it in class; the video was very inspiring.  I loved what the goal of the Girls Rock Camp—teaching young women to be proud of themselves for being their own person is very courageous. Now-a-days girls are too focused on fitting in and trying to be popular; they are concerned with what they wear and who they are friends with instead of worrying about important issues.  I also loved the fact that the video gave stats: 4 out 5 girls are sexually harassed by a school mate; the number one wish for teen age girls is to lose weight; and that only 22% of music video industry is made of up women—those women are 5x more likely to be seen in revealing clothes.  After watching this video I totally agree with what the camps motive was.  And I defiantly agree that women should be standing up to be themselves and not have to fit in a bubble of what boys think they should act and look like.
