HEY GIRL!
Welcome to the first edition of
Backchat! I’m super excited that
you’re here. We’re all about you,
just as you are. We aim to help
you with issues, have some fun
and keep you up to date and
informed about all things girlrelated.
It’s tough being a girl in today’s
society - you’re got your parents
expecting things from you, your
friends offering advice from one
side and the media nagging at you
from the other - “you’ve gotta try
much harder at school, you have
to be cool, to fit in and you’ve
gotta be beautiful to stand out.”
Well, we’re calling NONSENSE on
the whole thing. You’ve just gotta
be you.
At school it’s really difficult there’s name-calling and cattiness,
especially between girls. This is
something that we at Backchat
simply can’t stand. People may
call you whatever they like, but in
our magazine, there’s no place
for labels. Labels belong on cans,
never on people.
people questioning who you are.
Between these pages you’ll find
out all you need to know about
how to go about proving your
critics wrong, being yourself and
succeeding.
Recently I popped into a market
to buy some flowers, and a guy
pointed me out to his friend
saying, “See, I told you - this is a
hipster market.”
YOU, my love, can be whatever or
whomever you want to be - after
all, life isn’t about finding
yourself, it’s about creating
yourself.
Labels belong on cans,
never on people.
I turned around and laughed at
him. He doesn’t know me, but he
thought he could tell all there was
to know about me just because
of the way I was dressed. It takes
time to learn how to face bullies,
and to learn how to deal with
Lots of love,
P.S. We would love to hear from
you! Feel free to send in letters,
short stories or poetry that you’ve
written. We’d also like to hear any
article requests - what would you
like to read about in backchat?
