"Curve" by Alison Smith in Red edited by Amy Goldwasser

The following excerpt called "Curve" is from the book, "Red The Next Generation of American Writers-Teenage Girls-On What Fires Up Their Lives Today." Written by 16 year old Alison Smith, she describes her struggle all through life-being too skinny. To her friends they envy her and wish they would decrease in pounds, while Alison wishes she could put some on. The single thing she loves about her body; her hips-her curve. She loves that they are perfect and most importantly hers.
