How do you define beauty?
When a young adolescent teen walks into a room they automatically feel like they are being judged or compared to other females. Especially females that are put on a high pedestal in the society that we live in today as perfect individuals such as celebrities like the Kardashian family, Rihanna, or Selena Gomez. These women are depicted in the media as women that have no flaws at all.
While we all know no one is perfect , these young teens are pressured into thinking that they aren’t skinny enough or pretty enough because they don’t look like the woman on the magazine cover or the television screen.
The question we should be asking is, Why is the media demanding a high, unrealistic standard of beauty that little girls are comparing themselves too ?
Females and Males are being taught at such a young age to try to change themselves to be or look like someone else. So that they can be accepted by the society that we live in. So if we don't have a tiny stomach or tight thighs are we too big? The media would consider us too big and they would make some clever remark about us needing a diet.
Something has to change, because everyone is different so there can not be one definition of beauty that the world should believe in.
