COLBY CAILLAT – TRY

I’ve always liked Colby Caillat’s song “Try”. It’s a song about the pressures our society puts on women and girls to “try” and look a certain way. From make up to hair to the clothes women wear, females are expected to go the extra mile to fit in to these social norms. But why? We are all different. So why do we put so much emphasis on women looking a certain way? The message of this song is women and girls are beautiful no matter what shape or size they come in. Be who you want to be not what someone else thinks you should be. Check out this compelling video to her song. Or better yet, watch it with your daughters.
