Imagine how much time people would save if they didn't obsess about their appearance in front of the mirror every day. People would feel better about themselves, not having to concentrate on finding flaws before they walk out of that bathroom.

Makeover your school for a day, a week, or even the entire year. Get rid of mirrors and encourage everyone to focus on positive body image and self esteem.

Have people join the cause.

Talk to students and convince them to join your cause. By having students less focused on their appearance, you could promote a happier and healthier environment.

Get permission.

Do not walk around school with a mob stealing all of the mirrors. Get permission from the administration.

Take them down.

Go into every school bathroom and take down every mirror that exists. You might need to borrow some tools from shop class.

Cover them up.

If you can't take them down, cover them up. Use

  • curtains
  • papers
  • sheets

Don't forget to cover up any reflections from glass windows or doors!

Toss them.

Almost every girl carries around a compact mirror in her bag. Place a bin in the cafeteria or other high-traffic space for girls to toss away.
