Six Diaries

What comes to mind when you hear"tznius"? Six teenage girls from both modern Orthodox and Bais Yaakov backgrounds set out to answer that question. Tights. Ugly. Frum. Self - Esteem. Hard. Beautiful. Necklines and hemlines, slits and socks - what's the big deal? The girls felt confused, frustrated, guilty, resentful. And afraid of change. But they were open - minded enough to try something new. Meet once a month. Discuss tznius. Keep a weekly diary. It wasn't easy. It wasn't overnight. But somewhere between October and June, six girls started to see things differently. This is their open and honest diaries - their thoughts and feelings, their confusion, frustration and guilt. They challenged tznius on their own terms. They discussed topics without the censorship of adults. They took a different look at themselves. Rethink what beauty really means. Wish for more.
