As an adolescent teenager, I'm as concerned as the next girl about my physical appearance. I'm not anorexic, but rejoice when I'm able to fit into the clothes of my choice at a store. I appreciate it when someone notices my haircut. I like it when I look good in a photograph.Yes, I believe in being presentable. However, my self-esteem is not centered on my physical appearance.
I know that when someone calls you pretty it gives you a nice warm feeling inside. But, would I want to be a just a pretty face? Absolutely not. When I walk down a corridor, I'd rather people say "she's got talent" instead of "she's pretty". Its important that people look at the real you, who's beauty surpasses your exterior beauty. Give people a glimpse at the least, of your soul. External beauty, after all, is only temporary.
Treat others the same way too! Don't judge people by what they wear or their weight. Look past the eyeliner and kilos, and understand their soul. When you meet someone after a long time, say "I remember the last time we met" instead of "You've lost weight." Respect plain looking people with character and talent, and not pretty faces with shallow personalities.
Don't punish your body by starving yourself. Any book on nutrition will tell you that its important to have ALL three meals (breakfast being the most important). If someone thinks your not good enough just because you don't wear Gucci, they aren't worth pleasing anyway. Be true to yourself, because the person who makes you feel most miserable is you, and you only. True happiness is when you wear a pink t-shirt with fluorescent tights and feel good, because it represents you.
So, dig into that chocolate cake and ignore that pimple. Look into the mirror, and observe not the lip gloss but the person who lies behind those eyes. Take care of her and I can assure you, she'll make you ecstatic!
