Beauty
What is beauty? Is it so easy to label what is beautiful and what isn't beautiful? Does someone have to have tan skin to be considered beautiful? Or is having dark black skin ugly? How can people so easily passed judgment on other people and races? If you are white woman you have to blond long hair and tan skin and if you are black you have to be light skin and have your hair permed so you "look pretty". And brown eyes are not pretty and Asian eyes are weird. How can people say such things. Is there not beauty in all, in everyone? Are we not all made in God's image?? With all these things said how is a young child suppose to react to such comments? How do you think a little child feels when hearing these things and they look at themselves in the mirror and realize they do not have these qualities that media and society says you must have to be considered pretty? I know how I felt. I felt like nothing and worthless. No good and not worthy for anyone. It makes kids feel like they are ugly and destroys their self-esteem. This false beauty shown in media and required by society needs to stop. It is destroys people's self-esteem and its not healthy. There should be more images in media of natural beauty and embracing someone's natural beauty, God given beauty.
