Thoughts to ponder | Beauty Expectations
How many of girls think they should be skinnier or taller or that they aren't pretty enough. That they won't ever get a boyfriend because they're not worthy?
I am guessing the majority think this. I thought the same once too that my belly, was my worst feature, so many times I cried because all my clothes made me look fat and I could NEVER be pretty enough.
But that needs to stop, each individual is beautiful just as he/she is.
Who is it that sets the standards of beauty, who is it that decides what 'skinny' is or what 'sexy/attractive' is. We would all love to blame it all on society and be done with it. Say "Society is messing with our minds, they set impossible standards." Yes, the standards are impossible, but we can't blame society as if its someone else. WE ARE SOCIETY. We set our standards, we set ourselves a goal that can never be achieved.
An artist in the states, looked at the results for the average height, weight and all other measurements of the average 19yr old american girl and designed a barbie to fit those measurements.
The results... well they shocked me, according to the research done about barbie, were she real she would not be able to stand properly, her feet are to small and her body unproportional.
Go out there, be unique, be a size 10 or 12 or 16, be beautiful and be what you were created to be... and remember even Barbie isn't all that perfect.

Look at the thighs, the bum, the height. How do you expect to be a real Barbie? The fact is the beauty expectations that we have in our mind drive us mad. Anorexia, bulimia, depression, would all be necessary to look like a Barbie.
Whether its acne, hips, curves, your stomach, broad shoulders or big thighs, remember that in the end we're all beautiful. We all have features we turn our nose up in disgust at when we look in the mirror, but often its those very features that single us out in a crowd to make us who we are and to make us unique.
What I'm getting to is the most commonly said thing to confident lacking teens. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
You are you, no one else in the entire world has the same eyes, or nose, or bum as you. You are the only one, each snowflake is unique, is one uglier than another, no. Because all the detailing that make it up is so beautiful, so individual to that snowflake.
You are a snowflake. you are the only one of your DNA makeup and that alone makes you the most gorgeous thing in the world.
