There is a new topic of videos being uploaded to the internet, especially YouTube. Kids, girls and boys alike, are asking viewers to tell them if they are ugly or pretty. Putting videos like this on-line, is just asking for people to be mean to you. No one in school thinks that they are pretty, even the so called "perfect" ones. If you have self-esteem issues and you decide to post a video on YouTube to make yourself feel better, it wont work. All my life I have been told that anything put on-line, will never disappear. I do not understand why these kids are asking complete strangers if they think they are ugly or not.
One of my favourite sayings is: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is very true. The only "beholder" that you should care about is yourself. All your life you are going to run into someone who thinks that you are ugly. But does their opinion matter? No, it doesn't. The sooner you start to love, or at least like yourself, what other people think wont matter.
Everyone is so worried about what people think of them. Unfortunately they are forgetting to get the opinion of the person that matters most: themselves.
You are absolutely right. I think it's just asking for trouble. There are people out there that will comment just to hurt them.
ReplyDeleteSuch inspiring words! & I completely agree with this, it does not matter what others think of you, only what you think of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely, and I really like that saying too!
ReplyDeleteI see this all the time, when I go on youtube there are countless videos like the ones you're talking about, it almost seems like a joke! i still don't understand why girls do this to themselves, people love making fun of others over the internet and this is just another excuse for it! This was a very well written post about the matter.
ReplyDeleteThis blog post is absolutely correct! Girls and women especially, try to make themselves look perfect due to the media. The media protrays what a person is supposed to look like even though realistically no one can look like that. I think the media should be focusing on what truly matters (what was said above about what people think of themselves first). If people focused on what they think of themselves over what other people think of them, I feel that people's self esteem would be much higher. I have posted a link to what a model in a magazine looks like and it is truly scary to think of people trying to look like this.
