    1. Today the ideal of the curvaceous woman has been replaced by a "tubular" shape, a more linear form that is taller, leaner, and without a noticeable bust or hips.

      I noticed this situation in real life especially during my high school years. People think beauty as "tubular" shape. However, when I rethink it, I do not think that is a healthy beauty. Some girls I know would limit their food intake in order to reach that beauty. They are not good at sports and fragile. Recently, I think it is much better than before. People around me to reconsider what a healthy "beauty" is. It is generated from inside: the confidence, healthy lifestyle.

    2. When high schoolers were asked to identify the best thing about their school, they usually said, "My friends." Sports activities ranked sec-ond. "Nothing" ranked higher than "classes I'm taking" and "teachers."

      This situation is highly consistent with my experience. If people asked me to rank the most memorable thing in high school. I will definetly rank "my friends" at first. However, I will put "classes" as the worst thing I experienced during high school. The classes are boring and arduous. From this experience, the relationship with others plays the biggest role in high school life. However, the class material is defective. I spent most of time on the material that I will not even use in the future college study. It really disappointed me.
