Two days ago, my friend complained about her body on the phone. She told me that she was fat and scared that she would no longer be attractive. I didn't say anything because I knew that was not true.
In fact, my friend is very pretty. Her height is 1.75 meters and she is only 57 kilograms, However, she never likes her body and always complains about it. My friend is not the only one girl in the world and always complains about it, there are more than 100,000 women who dislike their bodies. Some complain that their breasts are too big or small. Some dislike their bellies. Some think that their eyes are not beautiful.
At present, as the world becomes modernized, it affect social life. Therefore, finding a way to diet is very easy, If I want to diet, I can google a website. There are 1 million of ways to get fit.
Being a girl, I understand the feeling of girls about fat and diet. The most reason is because the girls want to be attractive to guys. They think that their bodies are skinnier as models or movies stars then the boy will like them. However, their thoughts are killing them. Some girls become underweight after using bad diet. Some girls get sick because they don't eat a lot. Furthermore, some girls have died of starvation. Everyday, when I walk into Superstore, I'm very surprised to see the titles of Elle, Vogue or Health magazines which have "25 tips to get fit", "do you want to loose your weight" or "Angelina Jolie lost 25lbs only 2 weeks".
Hence, there is no surprised why the girls are crazy to get fit. However, I only want to ask those of you who want to diet
Is the diet good?

After your diet, will you feel satisfied or keeping disliking your body?

Do you trust all informations that you read on internet in books and magazines?

Sadly, almost all the women who want to use diets, are not very confident. They think that being confident is having a good appearance. However, they are wrong. Being confident is not only having a fabulous shape, it is also working, having a good personality. Otherwise, fashion magazines push the women to be insecure about their shapes and follow the style of models . I still remembered Miss Independent by Ne-Yo:

"She has a one thing
That is why I love her
Miss Independent
Ooooh the way we shine"

A good appearance is not all that is attractive with men, Based Ne-Yo's song, the men need women who are very independent and successful in their lives.

Being confident yourself is attractive to everyone.

Love you guys

Are you really happy, my Arab girl?

Afgan girl

During the last winter break, I worked with my father at Qatar and United Arab Emirates(UAE). I had many busy days there. I had to greet and be a translator for my father and his guests. After a busy day, I sometimes trudged into the Dubai Mall.One day, I saw a Chinese tourist group in the mall. In this group, there were three women who wore very sexy dresses. Walking confidently in their fancy high heels,the Chinese women talked and laughed. However, they didn't know that two Arabian women were looking at them enviously. The Arabian women were not jealous because of their fabulous high heels. They were not jealous of the beauty of Chinese women. But they were jealous of freedom of these Chinese women.

At present, the economy in the world is nearing the levels of depression. Some countries face high unemployment rates, and an increase in the prices of gas and food. Unlike these countries, Qatar and UAE, kings of petroleum and gasoline, have developed their countries swiftly over the last 10 years. However, sadly, the rights of women didn't improve as fast as their economies. According to the BBC news, there are 80 percents of Muslim women in the world who still wear Burqas, and 1 percent of women who are independent their husbands financially. Recently, we have been upset to hear the news that an Iranian woman was stoned to death because of committing adultery.However, the Iran government didn't reply or solve this problem.

My friend who has lived in Dubai for five years, told me that he has a neighbor who is from Qatar. This man had a wife and six children. Although he was lucky to have a good wife and children, he wanted to find another woman to have more children with. However, his wife didn't accept it.Therfore, this man hit his wife and persuaded his children that their mother is a bad woman. Unfortunately, the woman didn't speak up about the truth. She lived in fear of the society in Dubai, her husband and her children.

I laughed when I was reading one of Dubai's magazines. They said that Muslim women have more rights.Well, if this magazine was right,

Would the wife of my friend's neighbor been satisfied with her life?

Would three Arabian women need to be envious of Chinese women?

Would the Iranian woman be stoned to death because of adultery?

The tragic life of the wife of my friend's neighbor doesn't only happen in Dubai, it also becomes the main issue of Middle Eastern countries.If the world doesn't care about these issues, there will be more news about the death of Muslim women. I want to write because I'm very upset about the irresponsibility of the Middle East's government.

If you read it, please use your voice to fight for them.

Love you guys!
Mary Phan
