I read an article on Yahoo about young girls posting videos of themselves on YouTube asking the world if they were ugly or not? I watched a video of one girl saying that kids pick on her because she has a large forehead and that she can’t get the boy she likes to show her some interest. The article talked about how some comments gave advice by saying that the girl was pretty and that she just needs to focus on school. Other comments that I read weren’t so nice. I think that these girls need to develop self-confidence and not try to seek out approval of strangers because there’s always going to be someone out there in the world who doesn’t find you attractive.
I agree. I think the world puts a lot of pressure on young women to be "pretty" and instead should be more concerned who they are as a person.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crazy world we live in. Why would anyone post videos like that?! We all feel unattractive at times (I remember my teen years), but to express your insecurities (or are they fishing for compliments?) in such a public way is crazy.
ReplyDeleteI see so many of these similar posts on Facebook! They always say "like if you think im attractive, comment if you dont" Its just annoying, anf rather sad that you have to fish for compliments to make yourself feel good.
