A Powerful Argument Against Teen Body-Shaming

Body Image When 18-year-old tennis sensation Taylor Townsend beat 21st-ranked Alize Cornet in the French Open on Wednesday, she did more than simply extend her thrilling Grand Slam debut by advancing to the third round. The 205th-ranked Townsend's feat -- it made her the youngest U.S. woman to advance to the third round at the French Open since 2003 -- is even more impressive considering just two years ago, the U.S. Tennis Association attempted to keep her out of competition at the U.S. Open. It was suggested they would not restore their support until the teen, then the top-ranked junior player in the world, lost weight. "Our concern is her long-term health, number one, and her long-term development as a player," Patrick McEnroe, general manager of the USTA's player development program, told the Wall Street Journal's Tom Perrotta at the time.

Teen Actor- Jaden Smith

“School Is The Tool To Brainwash The Youth” Jaden Smith, the teen actor of “Karate Kid” and “After Earth” fame and the son of Will, studies TED Talks and “Aesop’s Fables” with his father , as revealed in a bizarre New York magazine interview about the pair’s pursuit of higher wisdom earlier this summer. Will: [Mimicking] “So how do you think your life is similar or un-similar to people’s names in Calabasas?” For our family, the entire structure of our life, our home , our business relationships—the entire purpose is for everyone to be able to create in a way that makes them happy.
