Being pressured to be pretty?♥

Bonjour Beauties!♥

Do you feel pressured to be pretty, skinny, funny?....

Everytime you open a magazine or turn on the TV you see a flawless skinny woman that you wish to be. In my point of view beauty is more inside than out, most 'gorgeous' women doon't have the best personalities, i know only about a year ago i used to think all my friends we way prettier than me and had way more makeup products than me. Now i think 'you know what, im not fat however im not skinny, im the perfect size for me and im not going to let anyone tell me different' When you look in the mirror don't think about all the flaws and bad bits, think about the best bits and what you get complimented on, not only will it make you feel good, it will boost your confidence and help you meet new people. ''I do feel pressured to be pretty. At my school I hangout with the more popular girls and you just feel that you have to be pretty. Since my friends are very pretty I try so hard just to keep up with them. Also I know this isn't true but to me a lot of girls are just so pretty. They have that long hair, gorgeous eyes and so on. So basically I think every girl tries to look extra pretty to stick out instead of just staying average.'' I just found that quote on Yahoo! thats just one of the points i found on there, she's not the only teen girl that thinks this, over 70% think this about themslves. Karen says ''Nobody is perfect. Makeup, airbrushing, and lighting work miracles. Also in these pictures, the bras are usually stuffed. It's easy to look perfect when you have professionals on hand and hours to spend on your appearance.'' She is Absolutley 100% correct, they get airbrushed, tonnes of makeup slapped on themselves and have chicken fillets stuffed down there bra. Don't compare yourself to others, especially not magazine pictures because the protographer turns down loads of girls because they're 'too fat' or 'too spotty' they go for the 'best' people and still go airbrush them but nobody is too spotty or too fat, just feel comfortable as you are. If you get a spot its no biggie, just cover it up with a bit of consealer but me, i dont cover them up, i personally think it enhances your beauty saying 'YES IM NOT PERFECT AND IM NOT AFFRAID TO SHOW IT' and for doing this, at school i get compliments and boys actually date me for my inside beauty and my personality not because i'm 'fit'. enough rambling for today, i will leave you with a few quotes....

''Beauty has a lot to do with character.'' -Kevyn Aucoin

''Beauty is only skin deep. If you go after someone just because she's beautiful but don't have anything to talk about, it's going to get boring fast. You want to look beyond the surface and see if you can have fun or if you have anything in common with this person''-Amanda Peet
