I'm so glad to hear that Raven-Symone is happy with who she is. I don't like it when people get down on others, especially young celebs who are full figured. It's awesome that she can say she ignores the rude comments and loves who she is. I wish all young ladies can see that in themselves and not try to lose so much weight that they look like toothpicks and are not healthy looking at all. I remember Raven on the Cosby Show as "little Olivia" and she was adorable. I know she's growing up I just want her to keep her same spark for life and not to let stardom ruin it.

I hope she will be patient and keep working to gain her credibility as a maturing entertainer. I also hope she won't stoop to a stupid semi-nude photo shoot for Esquire or some other publication, to show the world that she isn't a little girl any more. She doesn't have to prove herself that way. She has enough talent. She can keep acting and demonstrating that she has the skills.

>I don't like putting my business out there

Then stop doing it.

I'm kinda thinking she won't be getting any requests for that, so don't worry...
