K
ate Olthoff on the outside is a pretty 17-year-old who has a personality that makes her come off as edgy and with great confidence. Once getting to know her it is obvious it is just a tough exterior. She said, “There is this outside façade for people who do not want to get to know me.” Olthoff lives in the suburbs of Indianapolis and attends high school. She is on the brink of adult hood. She is letting her younger self go to make room for the more mature self she is growing into to show to the world. Loving horses Olthoff embraces the “weird ass horse girl” lifestyle she says, which is obvious by her keeping a “giddy up” sign in her closet. “I stopped riding horses. I kind of grew out of the horse phase, but not still deep down. Everyone loves to pick on the horse girl and that’s what I was,” Olthoff said laughing at herself. She accepts standing out in a crowd and the quirks she has. While eating at a sushi restaurant she knew she was incapable of eating with chopsticks so she used her hands instead to eat her food. This does not bother Oltoff though because she wants to stand out and to go against the tides of conventional thinking. “I never want to get stuck behind a desk and work a nine to five day in a suburban family,” Olthoff said. “I want to have an extraordinary life and I want to do extraordinary things with extraordinary people. I just want to make it the most.” She says she wants to steer away from being a stay at home mom and her whole world revolving around taking care of her kids to go see the world with someone she loves, and to be spontaneous with life. Aside from herself, Olthoff believes life is not just for her to enjoy but for other people to enjoy. “What we do and who we are is based off of interactions with other people,” Olthoff said. “If you just bring up other people and have relationships and you are nice and you are friendly that is what makes life.” Although Olthoff is still in her youngest years of life she is looking ahead. She is figuring out what she wants and who she is. She is just enjoying being a teenage girl. She said, “I’m at a point in my life where I am who I am. Right now I am confortable to say, yes this is who I want to be.” 07 | THEDAISYMAGAZINE.COM

Q & A WITH CARSON ASHLEY
GO ONLINE TO WATCH ASHLEY SING HIS SONG DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, GIRL
INTERVIEWED & PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARY CLAGHORN.
DAISY MAGAZINE: So when was the first time you started playing music? CARSON ASHLEY: Second grade, my mom put me in piano lessons I hated it then, third grade she got me piano and singing lessons together, but I ended up not wanting to do it. Then eighth grade I learned how to play mandolin, which was my first instrument. I didn’t want to go mainstream and play the ukulele. I learned to play guitar to impress a girl in eighth grade, that didn’t really work out, but I kept playing guitar. DM: What is music to you? CA: Everything, I base friendships off music. Liking the same bands will definitely benefit our friendship. Like The Beatles, if you don’t like The Beatles, we can still be friends, but I will judge you hard-core. DM: What are your musical influences? CA: The band, Brand New, is a big influence on my writing style. There are bands who write music about nothing and those are the bands that suck. If I’m going to listen to a song I want to hear passion behind it. They write songs about actual things and that aren’t crap to make money;I’m not a fan of artists who make music to make money. I want to appreciate you as a musician and not just selling out. DM: How would you describe your style of music? CA: I write songs that are passionate. When I write songs they mean something to me. I don’t write about random stuff, but stuff happening in my life. I have written up about six albums worth of lyrics all in notebooks. Currently the one I’m writing is for my solo project, Breakfast with Iris, the album is called, Aparting, which is the definition of goodbye. My style is very open; you would be like “Oh yeah this kid is hurt.”
“I WRITE SONGS THAT ARE PASSIONATE. WHEN I WRITE SONGS THEY MEAN SOMETHING TO ME. I DON’T WRITE ABOUT RANDOM STUFF, BUT STUFF HAPPENING IN MY LIFE.” -CARSON ASHLEY
DM: What was it like playing in front of a crowd? CA: It was awesome. Playing onstage is a magnificent experience I would tell anybody to do at least once. When you’re on stage and all of your instruments are coming together you are like this is me, this is us making this music. Quoting my father, “You become a conduit of music. You forget everything going around you, and you become music.” So playing onstage is awesome. DM: How do you think playing solo differs from being in a band?* CA: I’ve never performed live solo, only in a band. It would be different, because none of my songs were ever performed by Nathan and I want people to know my songs.
DM: Can you give a back story to one of your songs? CA: There is this song, Dark side of the Moon, Girl. There is this girl Nicole and this is the second day I have ever hung out with her. This is a happier song, she told me to call it this, because she has a Dark Side of the Moon tattoo. Well it is 5 a.m. and I’m driving her home. I put on a song The Boy who Blocks his Own Shot which has my favorite lyrics of all time, “You are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins.” It’s in my Instagram bio it is on my wall in my room. Nobody has ever known that song except for this girl. During that song I held her hand during the song, and as those lyrics were said we looked into each other’s eyes and sang those lyrics. Then, as I was dropping her off at her house the sun was rising. I then took her somewhere and played the song for her. *Ashley played in the band, Bad Fiction based in Fishers, IN, for two years until he departed in 2015.

I AM MALAYNA
GO ONLINE TO WATCH A DISSCUSION WITH TEENS TALKING ABOUT LIFE AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS
Get to know the real Malayna Pottschmidt in a personal interview WRITTEN BY MARY CLAGHORN. & PHOTOGRAPHED BY MOLLY SIMMONS.
E
volution has taken the human species from barbarians to social intellects. However people still find a way to be brutal with their actions and their words. This creates a tense social environment for humans to live in. So, when is someone’s breaking
point? “I am an oxymoron. I love people, but I also hate them,” 17-year-old Malayna Pottschmidt said. “I have so much love for someone that I put other people before myself. I’ve been hurt so much by other people though that it is still so hard for me to even try to connect with other people.” When glancing at someone it is easy to make a quick judgment. It is human nature to categorize people and assume that person is exactly the kind of person conjured up in the mind. Pottschmidt is a beautiful girl, but take in account her personality and her lifestyle. “I’ve been through a lot of stuff with my family. A lot of people don’t see that. They don’t know me,” she said. “They don’t know all the things I’ve been through. I have three jobs. If I don’t have my own money to go to college I’m not going. I’m very independent and I don’t have a lot of support. All I have is my boyfriend really.” From her extensive list of followers on social media she says she has a small unit of people who direct message her who keep her spirits up. But, life is not all about the internet. Having been tp’d twice and egged she is almost on her own with the wish people around her would see how nice and sincere she really is. “I’m everything I can connect to everyone. I can go to a country concert and connect with them and that is me being real. I can go to Lil’ Wayne and I can connect with all those people who are there,” Pottschmidt said. “A lot of people are, is that fake or are you just all of those things combined? That’s me I’m not in one stereotype. I’m not in one faction or one group. I can meet someone and connect with them and not have it be fake.” So, what causes people to take someone so sweet and knock her down to be a victim? It could be jealousy. An article from Psychology Today says insecurity is a main cause for becoming green with envy, but really it could be anything. “Once I started getting bullied a lot. It would be hundreds of people saying things. It would be hundreds of tweets saying you should get ran over by a car. I’m going to push you to your breaking point,” she said. “I became really interested in how people think and why people think it is okay to do things like that. I try to come up with reasons and I really think it is just an internal thing with people that are mean to others.” Stop, and remember everyone has feelings no matter who they are. No one is as they seem from the label given to them. Pottschmidt is more than a popular pretty face, but a girl with a big heart.

CHASE CANNON, 17 “I would say don’t think of anyone else as above you. Don’t idolize other people and think they are better than you, because sometimes you might think the popular kids are better than you, but they’re really not. Once you get over that you can be yourself and have confidence.”
JAMES PAULSON, 17 “I struggled with [being myself] because I didn’t really know what I liked or the style I wanted to go for at first. I feel you are influenced by everyone else’s opinions. You have to explore and find yourself.”
REANNA STEWART, 16 “I love my hair. I used to hate it. I would straighten it all the time, because I thought it was weird to have frizzy hair and to have big poufy curly hair, but I recently let it do its own thing. People tend to like me more.�
DAKOTA KENNEBREW, 17 “I feel great about myself. If you don’t love yourself then who is going to love you? It’s my motto.”
LYNN ALSATIE, 17 “I feel I don’t really have an identity or a place I am actually from. I don’t think I really belong anywhere. Which isn’t a bad thing it just makes me feel more universal and more free.”
ROSALIE ADAMS, 16 “You can’t expect others to accept you until you accept yourself. You are the most important person to you. You’re the only person you will have forever so you have to be your biggest support, and you definitely have to love yourself way more than everyone else does.”
THE UNIVERSAL STRUGGLE Countries around the world have different standards for beauty
B
WRITTEN BY JENNA JAROSINSKI.
eauty is not about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart and most importantly a beautiful soul. Adolescents have been raised on mantras such as this one; repeatedly reminded by their loved ones that it is what is on the inside that matters. Although, in a society driven by appearance it feels that inner beauty is not enough. People want to be valued for their outer beauty. The desire to be deemed beautiful in the eyes of society has led teenagers to feel that they must conform to the stereotypical definition of beauty and, in the process, deny who they are. In this environment it is easy to forget that the definition of beauty varies worldwide. VICE Documentary’s “Fashion Week” series explores this idea. The 11-episode expose sends journalist and fashion guru, Charlet Duboc, to fashion weeks around the world where she is on a mission to unveil each culture’s definition of beauty. For example, the episode “Caribbean Fashion Week- Dance Hall and Skin Bleaching” Duboc finds that Caribbean women strive to have a full figure and light skin. These characteristics are so sought after that Caribbean women lather themselves in bleach cream and consume steroids given to chickens to speed up the fattening process. Seoul, South Korea has been labeled “The Plastic Surgery Capital of the World” as Korean women flock to undergo commonplace
procedures, such as Botox, lip injections and nose jobs, to name a few. As explained by the VICE documentary “Seoul Fashion Week” the goal of these operations is to obtain a Westernized look. This is particularly apparent in a procedure known as double eyelid surgery in which the outsides of the eyes are trimmed, allowing the eyes to widen and achieve a doeeyed appearance. Meanwhile, according to the article “French MPs Back Ban on Skinny Catwalk Models” by the BBC the incidence of eating disorders in France has become so alarmingly high government officials have passed a bill that imposes heavy fines and possible jail time to those who encourage extreme thinness. Politicians in Israel are following in France’s footsteps. Around the globe women wish to see a different reflection staring back at them when they look in the mirror. “Just love yourself. If you don’t love you, then who will?” 17-year-old Dakota Kennebrew said. So, the next time you are having trouble being comfortable in your own skin and you are grasping for a reason to love yourself, remember that someone finds you absolutely beautiful. Just because your beauty does not fit into the box Western society created for you, does not mean you are not perfect just the way you are.
“JUST LOVE YOURSELF. IF YOU DON’T LOVE YOU, THEN WHO WILL?” -DAKOTA KENNEBREW

WHY CAN’T WE BE FRIENDS Two people who used to be friends meet after four years of not talking to see if a friendship is still there
F
WRITTEN & PHOTOGRAPHED BY MEAGAN ALONSO.
riends come and go, that is a fact of life. Going through changes of personality, hobbies and living arrangements brings about the transition of friends. Two friends who have not talked for four years decided to participate in an experiment to see if they could rekindle the friendship both established so long ago. Dasuni Sirisooriya, age 17, and Ashley Courtney, age 17, met at a coffee shop to catch up. The two discussed how their lives in high school were and how they were each preparing for upcoming graduation. As soon as they saw each other the old bonds they had shared so long ago came to the surface. They greeted each other with a sense of awkwardness, but then Sirisooriya’s cup started moving on the table by itself and the two panicked in a way only friends could. The comical relief broke the ice and the conversation turned to friendly chat. Courtney and Sirisooriya were able to discover that they still had a connection. The two talked about past boyfriends, after high school plans and old mutual friends.
“I still follow her on social media,” Sirisooriya said before she saw Courtney again. “So it’s not like I haven’t seen her or anything. We were pretty good friends, like I always went to her house for her birthday parties and I would hang out with her. But yeah it’s been awhile since we’ve done any of that.” Before the meet-up each teen was asked if they thought they would be able to be friends. Both were hesitant. “Honestly, I’m feeling anxious and like nervous,” Courtney said. “But at the same time I’m excited and a little awkward I guess. I haven’t talked to her in forever.” After an hour of getting to know one another both felt more relaxed in each other’s presence. “It actually was a lot less awkward than I thought it would be,” Courtney said. “We just jumped right in. Maybe it was better than my expectations.” The discovery was old friends can still carry on as if years did not gap their last meeting. So next time you see a picture of an old friend you have not talked to in forever ask yourself: Why can’t we be friends?

PRESSING ISSUES: ISSUES THAT NEED PRESS
Writer Jenna Jarosinski is pressing the issue of revenge porn and the lack of consequence it has in the United States
A
WRITTEN BY JENNA JAROSINSKI & ART WORK BY MOLLY SIMMONS.
s we all know most relationships die and not in a Shakespearean, romantic “Death Do Us Part” way. Most end in a crash-andburn kind of way. When emotions are running high and you are going through the equivalent of drug withdrawal your decision-making skills are not the best. Mix a broken heart, a little crazy and an iPhone and you are in for trouble. This holds frighteningly true in an increasingly popular trend between hostile exes; revenge porn. Revenge porn involves fewer chains and whips and a lot more life altering consequences than expected. Revenge porn is loosely defined as a picture or video that is publicly shared online, typically leaked by an ex-lover. USA Today’s article “Millennials Deal with the Consequences of Revenge Porn” interviewed Meeghan Falls, a victim of it. “My stomach dropped. I started shaking. I started crying immediately,” Falls said when she discovered her personal photos leaked onto the internet. “I felt like the whole world had seen me naked.” On the online magazine, Op-Ed, in the piece “Revenge Porn, the Law, and Blaming a Victim,” Holly Jacobs claims that having such sensitive information on the internet altered her life. It caused her to lose her job and has made it difficult to find a new one. Even worse, targets of revenge porn have reported death and rape threats from their viewers. Various victims state that this breach of privacy has damaged relationships with friends, family and any possible romantic ones. Having trust broken in such a way leads a majority of revenge porn victims to a life of anxiety and the inability to trust. Annmarie Chiarini is a victim whose boyfriend released photos of her years after their breakup. She gives details of her circumstance in the article “Victims of ‘Revenge Porn’ Open Up on Reddit About How It Impacted Their Lives” by The
Huffington Post. “I oscillated between panic and persistent anxiety. I would wake up at 3 a.m. and check my email, my Facebook page, eBay, then Google my name,” Chiarini said. “A ritual I performed three times before I could settle back down.” Despite the destructive consequences of revenge porn on the victim, this life-crippling trend faces little opposition. It has no legislation against it in 48 states, and the two states that have outlawed the issue only make leaked images not taken by the individual a crime. This only criminalizes 20 percent of cases. Legislation against revenge porn has proven hard to pass because of American’s freedom of speech. Revenge porn was declared illegal in the United Kingdom and the rest of Western Europe seems to be following in their footsteps. America is falling behind when it comes to protecting its citizens’ rights. Legislation outlawing revenge porn is not only easily looked over by politicians; the trend is catalyzed by websites such as IsAnyoneUp.com. IsAnyoneUp and sites like it act as a space for upset ex-lovers to post nude pictures and explicit videos of their exes accompanied by personal information, such as cell phone number, a link to their Facebook page and the name of their children. Hunter Moore, creator of IsAnyoneUP.com, responded to the outlawing of revenge porn in California. “This doesn’t stop anything. If you read the bill it is just for peeping toms, not for selfies, which is all revenge porn really is,” Moore said. “These stupid white people are even more stupid to think they can stop it. It will just make revenge porn bigger by driving traffic, because people are talking about it.” Revenge porn needs to keep being talked about through word of mouth and in the media in order to prove individuals like Hunter Moore wrong. America needs to protect the rights of its people and the misfortunate victims of revenge porn now. 25 | THEDAISYMAGAZINE.COM

n the horizon of Weston-super-Mare in Southwest England, a new visitor may be surprised to see the faint outline of something similar to the Magic Kingdom. On a closer look however, it becomes clear that it is in fact a replica of the castle that so prominently distinguishes Disneyland. But why here? Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth is an idea that does not exactly spring to mind when considering the dreary weather of England. There is something “off” about the structure too, it is dirty, it is small and it is uninviting. Well, there is a reason for that. It is an art show. The castle is the centerpiece for a very unique kind of park. Welcome to Dismaland- “The UK’s most disappointing new visitor attraction”. After weeks of secret construction taking place on the shores of Weston-super-Mare, it has finally been revealed that the mastermind behind the whole affair is none other than the prolific artist, Banksy. Known for his rapid rise to fame through street art, the anonymous artist has held multiple art shows in recent years, featuring works that have made record sales. Each show has attracted large crowds and featured thought provoking artwork- and Dismaland will be no exception. The entire park is, although Banksy denies the direct correlation, poking fun at Disneyland. Art features such characters as a glitched-out Little Mermaid and a slain Cinderella in a car crash surrounded by the paparazzi. Other works include a Grim Reaper in a bumper car, a whale jumping out of a toilet and through a hoop and a woman being attacked by seagulls. While this may seem a rather eclectic mix of subject matter, it nonetheless holds up to the Banksy theme of anti-consumerism and his battle against the corporate world. As described by Banksy, it is a “festival of arts, amusements and entry-level anarchism”. There is a much deeper meaning to the show than what meets the surface- essentially; the corporate world is not all it is made out to be. The show forces visitors to inherently question the basis of amusement parks, Disney, and everyday life. Tickets are on sale for £3 (4.71 USD) with the show running for five weeks from Aug. 22 to Sept. 27. The venue will also display films and will be hosting a concert by Pussy Riot on September 25th. It is expected to be Banksy’s biggest show to date and is sure to impress. Welcome to the Bemusement Park.
