I think this essay has a solid basis, but could be improved to help the flow of the paper.
There are several spelling and grammatical mistakes throughout, which, if fixed, would create a more convincing style.

The word confide means to tell someone a secret, so it is used in the wrong context here.
Also, the word aloud means to speak out loud - the correct word would be allowed.
I do think that there are some solid points in the essay, and if it was tightened, I could see it being published by a magazine that targets women's health.
