You are beautiful.

I open a magazine at a random page, and do you know what I see? I see a girl. She's looking straight into the camera and smiling, showing the world a perfect set of pearly white teeth. Her hair seems to just naturally fall into place without looking untidy, even though the wind is blowing it. She's modelling the latest fashions, but she's the kind of person who could put anything on and it would look great. Her make up is perfect, as though she re-applies it every five minutes to make sure it isn't smudged. She's tall, she's pretty, she's sexy.
Women today are given the impression they have to be amazingly beautiful to get anywhere in life. I doubt there is any woman in this world who is truly happy with her image. There is always something there telling people they're not quite good enough. There's so many products around promising to make people beautiful, sexy, and irresistable to the opposite sex, but how many people feel happier while they are using them? How many people actually notice a difference from using them? Not many, I'm sure.
The media depresses many people. They forever show "perfect" women, who look exactly like what most other women dream of looking like. But have you noticed, in reality, how many women actually do look like that? Very few. But still, it hurts people.
More and more people are getting cosmetic surgery because they don't feel beautiful enough. Eating disorders such as anorexia are becoming more common because they are made to believe they have to be thin to be sexy. It is taking over and ruining people's lives. And I think this is wrong.
Doesn't anyone realise that everyone is beautiful? True beauty comes from the inside. No-one can choose what they look like. And if you aren't happy with the way you look now, then no matter how you change yourself, you probably won't ever be happy with it. You're just going to hurt yourself more. Instead of focusing on the parts of your body you don't like, you should find things you do like. Be nice to yourself. Would you tell your best friend they were unattractive? No. So don't say it to yourself. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Every last one of you...

:no: probably not nice speech btw
how nice. i like you
I agree with the sentiment of everything that you have written, I really do.
However, I don't agree with this sentence in the slightest.
You contradict yourself by saying everyone is beautiful but then saying only beutiful people can get somewhere. If everyone is beautiful (as you say) then surely everyone has the opportunity to get somewhere in life?
I also think that I will get anywhere I want in life and I am in no way traditionally beautiful.
I like you. You are not an idiot. You can spell and use grammar. You do not act like the majority of people your age (that come here anyway).
Yes. Please stay
love and hugs, xXx kwiss xXx
What I meant was, the media's idea of beautiful, if that makes sense? Sorry for the confusion
Ok, forgiven
Anywho, I think what you said was very inspirational
But yeah... nice speech generally
Agreed!
Thoughtful post :thumb:
