Okay, so I was reading this blog that was linked of Kat's called "Life of L" and I seen this post that really appealed to me. "why do guys want big boobs and a skinny waist when human proportioned most of the time don't work out that way? Why is "pretty" confined one look? Why does the word "ugly" exist in describing people?" I really do want to know why this is all applied. Girls and woman and pressured into looking "pretty" to impress men and to be accepted.we gawk over stars who are just fake air brushed and on extreme diets but we want to be exactly like them. So we try so hard that we will go to deadly extents just to be beautiful. We wax, shave, pluck, we cut and colour, we trim and paint, but some of us will go to the extent of not eating, or throwing up the little food we did eat. We go and get reconsructive surgery. And we still think we aren't good enough. We are told to be something we are not. We are told to be flawless and beautiful when we are not. And even change our personalities. We all want to be accepted but going to these is unrealistic. We are all beautiful, on the outside and on the inside in a special way. We need to learn to accept ourselves and be confident with our looks and personalities. If we did this world would be more concentrated on more important issuses instead of our appearance and trying to be something or someone we are not.
