"So you're feeling a bit self conscious... & you know what'll happen if they see you..." (Page 2)
Self to world.
Everywhere you go, everything you do, no matter what people will judge. You can't aviod it, you can't stop it, you just have to ignore it. The world lives off of making people feel like crap about them selves to make them self feel good. You feel like nothing you do will be good enough. You don't want to do something becuase someone told you that you can't. If you ask me, its quite pathtic. Everyone does it, i even do it. You should be able to go down a street, wearing what you want, doing what you want. But you can't cause you know someone will be judgeing.
Example: You are in vancourver walking down the street with your friends. You are having a girls night out and going clubbing. Wearing heels and a dress. Looking forward to a good night. These young guys are going to a club to and see you and start yelling stuff. Stuff that brings your self confedence down even more. It ruined your night. You keep walking and you feel the heads turns and the eyes are on you. You can't help but put images in your head of what they are thinking, making you feel like going home and change. You try to ignore it. But it just gets to you.
Everytime you look in the mirror you will see those words. Everytime you look at someone you can't help but think what they are thinking. People will give you complitemnts but you won't belive them.
It helps me understand the book because. She is what they calll a "prostute". They are judged alot for what they do. Most people don't understand how hard there life actually is. Once your in, you can't get out. Some girls don't want it after they are in. You are walking threw hastings and see them and you just start judging them like "ew" and "unclassy". You think it doesn't hurt but it probley does. Back to the book. Candy meets a wonderful guy named joe and joe wants to save her from iggy and get her out of being pimped out from him. When you see a prostute after reading this book just think about how hard it acutally is and if they actually want it.
