"Barbie" Every parent has a somewhat annoying nickname for their children when they are young. The nickname my parents gave me was "Barbie." Perfection is one of the many things a "Barbie" doll can resemble. I had blonde hair, blue eyes and a very small shape, which is why they called me "Barbie." I always thought it was a very hard name to live up to, and perfection was the expected norm. My family didn’t call me that to push me to be perfect, but to strive to try my best at everything. When I was younger, I hated being called "Barbie." I thought, "Why can’t they just call me Britt?" The resemblance was so obvious that even my friends and a few teachers continued with the trend.
