Getting to know my audience

It is an important aspect of any medium through which one may wish to communicate with others. The reader, listener, viewer, attendees, & audience.

My audience, my ideal audience is Teenage girls. Because that is the time in a woman's life when she starts understanding (or not-understanding) her body. I'm in my early thirties & I still deal with body issues. I think I'm a smart a intelligent woman & yet I get caught up in what the media serves me & I start disliking what I have. So if I can't figure this out I can only imagine what a teenage girl goes through. As a teenager I didn't have the vocabulary or know-how to understand that my body is fine the way it is. No one talked to meabout what I saw around me & how it impacted me. I wonder if I can facilitate for the teenagers of today a discussion & ask questions & encourage them to ask questions. I don't have answers. I only have experience & what it hs taught me, I'd like to share with those who still are at that stage in life when they can change the wiring in their brain & save themselves from damaging body image issues.

If you're reading this & know of teenagers who you could connect me to, please write to me. I need to get to know my audience. Even as I stand intimidated by them.
