Lisa Paulson on Barbie Dolls - A Great Toy or a Bad Influence? on 4th, Jun 2010
Barbie a bad influence? No. I spent most of my childhood playing with Barbie and I am just fine! Barbie gave me self confidence to be outgoing and happy. Barbie has also been seen as a firefighter, vet, doctor, lawyer, cook, ETC. This gave me the confidence to be whatever I wanted to be not what I thought was easiest. It's so stupid that people actually under go about 20 plastic surgeries just to look like Barbie. If little girls play with Barbie's they must also keep in mind that they are just a doll. No one looks like her! Parents can tell the little girls they are beautiful and build self confidence to for their kids. Overall Barbie impacted me for the better!
