In this day and age appearence has become so important. We are constantly bombarded with images from the media promoting what our bodies should look like. Self confidence/esteem has decreased and more people are suffering from eating disorders. Females and Males alike.
When you were younger you were brought Barbies or Action
Figures. This is the early sign of media promoting our
ideology of what we should look like. To be pretty and skinny
like Barbie with a tiny waist, huge hips, long hair. To be
ripped like Action Man, six pack, chizzled face and all. From
an early age we were taught that this is our aim.
When we are teenagers it gets harder, we care more about our
appearance. There is the constant feeling of judgement from
everyone around you. There's pressure to look perfect.
Well nobody is perfect. Stop comparing yourself to others.
People should be able to be confident in their own bodies. We
are all different and everyone sees beauty in different ways.
We may notice things as flaws but infact others may not even
notice them. Just because i'm saying this doesn't mean i am
100% confident with my body, because i'm not, but i know
theres no point in comparing myself to others and i'm healthy
that's all that matters. Yes its not the easiest thing to do when you are constantly surrounded by media promoting an unreachable target on what is beauty but just remember they have probably used photoshop.
So stop looking in a mirror and pointing out your flaws and
start pointing out the positives. You are beautiful!
