Senior Ventures Spotlight: Anzhe Li

In our daily lives, it is not rare to find that many girls are not satisfied with their bodies and often use various ways to lose weight or "whiten" themselves. Previous studies have shown that women experience significantly higher levels of appearance anxiety than men. As a high school scholar, I can also sense that the level of appearance increases the anxiety of female high school students. From this observation, it is proven that females experience a higher level of appearance anxiety than males. Therefore, it is my goal to conduct research as well as interviews and seminars with young female adolescents at the middle grades and upper school campuses. In addition, I will include adolescents and young female adults in the Rome community. To support this venture, I will provide activities about the relationship between body shaming, the social latitude of aesthetic standards, and the appearance anxiety of all kinds of people. I will culminate my studies and activities with a mini fashion show and photo gallery featuring women who participated in this project. These endeavors will raise society’s awareness of the negative impacts of appearance anxiety and body shaming, help people discover how diverse the term “beautiful” can be, and help kids cultivate an open and inclusive aesthetic.
