Charm School Once upon a time there used to be places called "charm schools" where ladies went to learn things like manners, making small talk, and other such things. Nowadays there are no charm schools left. They have been replaced with the idea the u need a body like Janet Jackson, and so need plastic surgery, and if u're unhappy u need Zoloft. So charm has been cast aside like a ratty hankie in favor of creating the "perfect" appearence. If it doesn't fit, it's ugly anyway. | |

Girls went to charm school to learn how to set a table and be a good hostess, in relation to manners, that is something your parents should teach you. there aren't any charm schools because they were ridiculous in the first place! | |

My point is there is more focus on one's LOOKS than their behavor. If it doesn't fit, it's ugly anyway. | |

My point is there is more focus on one's LOOKS than their behavor. I understand your point Lacoyta. However, charm schools were primarliy a place to teach a young girl how to be good at domesticity and run a good household. There was little if any emphasis on carving out a career, so in that respect nothing was expected of the person other than being a good housewife. | |

Actually, I went to charm school. I thought it was great. It wasn't about place settings, how to run a household and stuff like that but about self respect, body image, etc.
It was a place for girls and young women to just deal with being young women and to have some grace and poise as well. you guys are talking about charm schools from the 50's. There are camps and programs for girls that are progressive and viable for todays youth. charmschoolrejection edit  [This message was edited Wed May 5 6:52:25 2004 by Rhondab] | |

My point is there is more focus on one's LOOKS than their behavor. So you should behave like the proper "girl" and just learn how to please men by cooking and cleaning and making small talk? | |

And I hate living in a world where were I'd be a more "valueable" human being if I lost 10 lbs, dyed my hair blonde, carried a Louis Vittion bag, and lost the glasses and acne than if I learned how to be friendly and considerate. Beauty wins every time. If it doesn't fit, it's ugly anyway. | |

I guess what I have to do if I want to truely come out ahead I must get the beauty (but I REFUSE to carry a status handbag-that compromises my principles) and I must get the perfect mannerisms that I feel SHOULD make people valued then I can be considered a wonderful being. U know, have the looks AND the personality. If it doesn't fit, it's ugly anyway. | |

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

Work on feeling happy with who you are Lacoyta, it will take you MUCH further! None of us are completely happy with how we look, and besides being "sexy/pretty" comes from what you are inside. If you feel great, you look great. My
