Beauty, what is it to you? When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you see a beautiful person? Or are you disgusted by yourself? Everyday young women look in the mirror and see themselves as something unattractive. They put themselves down, because they think they aren’t good enough.
Today in this society, it is all about beauty and what people think beauty is. But what this society says about beauty is not true. Celebrities tell us that if we are skinny, we are pretty. If we have flat stomachs and no fat then we fit in. They say that beauty is about what they can see. But is that really true?
Admit it, you have looked at a magazine cover, you’ve seen the skinny model with perfect straight teeth, the absolute perfect tan (in the middle of winter?) and the all known, flat stomach. And how did that make you feel when you saw that? If you’re saying you have never felt bad about yourself after that, then you are lying to yourself. All teenage girls have looked at a magazine and thought that they want to look like that model at least once. I’ll be the first to admit to it.
What has this society and it’s way of thinking led us to? Eating disorders and depression. When girls look in the mirror, all they see are their imperfections; they don’t see the real beauty in them. They see fat, rolling off of them. They see one small zit, and think it is the end of the world, when really it isn’t. That is not beauty. At least not in my book.
Well I am here to tell you, that beauty is not what we think it is. Beauty is you. Beauty is me, and beauty is every girl that is herself. I truly believe that beauty is when someone is them selves. When they do not worry what others think and just live their life, because in the end, why be a false-sense of beauty rather than being the person you were meant to be. You, yes you reading this, are beautiful. And if you are a guy and you’ve stuck till the end, then I have one piece of advice for you about beauty. Choose the girl that is beautiful from the inside out. She will stay beautiful longer than the girl fitting to fit the mold.
Be you. Because you are beauty in yourself.
AMEN GIRL!!! This is so true, I know i'm guilty of it and i only weigh 112 pounds. i love the part at the end to boys! (btw so true guys!)

And that not true you are allowed to think that you are beautiful.But you shouldn't try to make yourself someone your not to be pretty. I definalitley agree with you darling. :)
