Kylie Miller
I am Kylie Miller, I am 17 and a current senior at Blacksburg High School in Blacksburg, Va. I have been engaged in the activity of ballet/gymnastics my entire life. Being in the community for so long, I noticed/experienced the toxicities of such activity with relation to body image. This encouraged me to pay attention to other activities in which my peers have participated in and I observed a similar trend. There are implied body standards romanticized to people relating to success. In my speech I hope to deliver awareness of such social epidemics and evolve our view on adolescent activities.
