Reviving Ophelia - "pressure to be someone you are not"

In the world we live in today, media controls everything. It defines what is "in," and what we're supposed to look like, dress like and act. In Mary Pipher's, Reviving Ophelia, she tells the stories of the struggles of adolescent girls and their journey through therapy. The pressure to be someone you are not is a constant issue that faces everyone - no matter what age or gender. 

Pipher writes, "Girls stop thinking, 'who am I'? 'What do i want'? and start thinking, 'What must i do to please others?" (22).  While i do agree with this statement, I don't think it just applies to girls. I think boys - maybe not all boys, but some feel the same way too. They are just as pressured to conform to what others want as girls are.
