Dear Girls...

fatima1998

I don't know if any of you watched this video :redface:

[video="youtube;WWTRwj9t-vU"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWTRwj9t-vU[/video]

This video inspires me A LOT :cute:

I know we all girls are self-conscious about our appearance; spots, skin colour, eyebrows and many other things that lead us to feel self-conscious :redface:

I am also self-conscious about my looks because i have been told (my own family e.g. cousins, mum blah blah) that i have to look in a certain way that would attract people :unsure:

I started to compare myself from celebrities because i thought they are my role models and i meant to look like them and i know most of the girls compare themselves with them :sad:

which is normal :colondollar:

but celebrities are celebrities! :lol:

they meant to look like this otherwise media is going to make their lives arduous :dontknow:

Please don't starve yourself because it's not good and no one wants to have anorexia :no:

because its just terrible!
Girls we know we are awesome :awesome:

and we dont need to look like someone, we just need to be confident :yep:

and everything will be fine :woo:

we don't need to have any sort of breast enlargement stuff :rofl:

or needs to make a huge booty like Nicki Minaj :lol:

looks are not going to stay with us forever :getmecoat:

its our personality and our character that makes us :yes:

so just be yourself and you'll totally succeed :hugs:

Keep smiling :bigsmile:

In the interest of equality and inclusivity, "Dear Everyone..." would have sufficed.

But instead you went for "Dear Girls..." implying this is a gendered issue which it is not.

because that video is only applied to girls :redface:

plus girls are more self-conscious than boys, not saying boys aren't but in compare girls tend to imitate their models that ruin their lives :unsure:

They look much worse without the makeup, but that's because we're conditioned to seeing makeup. If no females wore makeup, it wouldn't be an issue. The whole issue comes from makeup being some sort of arms race/competition between women. Also, it's bad for your skin.
