Body image :( THIS is the biggest frustration in a female’s life. It starts before we can even label it, with princesses and seeking attention because “she’s so cute!” To adolescence, when we alternate between acceptance and hate of our clothes, face, various body parts, and appeal to others, especially how boys perceive us. Of course, our appearance changes daily, especially in middle and high school. Then we become adults, the time we are all looking forward to! Adulthood is the time when all the worry, doubt, and pain are behind us and we are full of confidence, security, and determination. Well… not for everyone… and not all the time… and not without constant self-reminders to be confident in our personality, character, and values.
The media reminds females to place a value on their importance by how much other people accept and appreciate our “look.” The world values beautiful people. However, striving for perfect hair, body, and skin comes at a price. Can you ever be “perfect?” When is being kind, compassionate, smart, caring, faithful, funny, determined, friendly, healthy, and hard working going to be enough?
