Script outline:

8 year old girl sits at a table colouring. She sits back in the chair, looks straight at camera and says “I can be whatever I want to be... but what do I want to be?”. She leans back in and continues to colour in.

ALT – “When I grow up, I want to be famous! I'm gunna be a famous singer on xfactor. Just you wait and see”

12 year old girl sat watching kids TV alone. She turns to the camera “I could be famous one day. I could be on TV or in Films or anything. Just look at all the pretty girls, [points at TV] I could be one of those one day.” She turns back to the TV and changes channel. “I wont be though now will I... I'm not pretty enough” [crosses arms and brings up legs]

ALT – “these girls have no talent. I can sing (dance/act) better than them[!] they're only on here because they're skinny and cute...”

16 year old girl reading a magazine (ok, hello or similar). “I want all these clothes! not that I could ever afford half of them... [page turn] I like these shorts, they'd make my legs look so long. They're a bit short though, got to be careful in these” [gives a glance and a grin at the camera]

ALT – “ugly, ugly, gross, nasty, ooh thats nice, nope, ugh.... oh whats the point, I'll never fit into any of these clothes anyway” – notable irony in that

18-20 year old woman walks in to a house looking a bit of a state. Stumbles to her bedroom and falls onto her bed. Still for a moment. Slurs, “what a good night. Got LOTS of attention if you know what I mean.” she rolls over and reaches for a glass that isn't there. “A few went too far but I sorted them out”

ALT – “I'm sick of guys staring at me like I'm a piece of meat. I just want a good night out but all I get is creepy guys groping me while I dance...”

25 year old woman sat watching TV on a sofa. “I'm sick and tired of seeing all these girls wasting their life on all these futile endeavours. Trying to get guys in these awful ways in these horrible places. I just don't understand how it got this way. How did it get this bad? What happened to everybody?”

ALT – “why do these girls think it's ok to be like this? When did it all go so wrong? Can't they understand that it doesn't have to be like this?”
