Beauty and Image.

What is most important to people in this world? Well, according to the public and the media the most imporant thing is beauty and your image. That is really depressing when you think about it. Babies are born, they are forced to grow, they are told all their lives they need to be themselves and accept others, and then most of the world treats them like a disease for being different. When a child becomes a teenager, they are tired of the drama, tired of being criticized, and they crack under peer pressure. That is why most teens turn to drugs, alcohol, and end up having eating disorders. We keep trying to figure out what causes eating disorders and why the people who have them are obsessed with how they look? The problem is that you are telling them they will never be good enough, that they are not perfect, and they have to fit this image and not be themselves.

If you think girls with eating disorders are 'disgusting' and 'gross', why don't you stop judging them? You need to accept them for who they are and not be a snob. Parents need to not put their kids in stressful situations and the teenagers at school need to grow up and act like they have some sense. Drama, stress, and criticism creates eating disorders. Sometimes, we think we are not pretty and will never be anything because of what we see in the magazine. We then tend to blame the person in the magazine. If you think about it, the person in the magazine is not the one to blame. It is the public, the media, and the regular people you see day to day that want their friends, celebrities, and everyone else to be just like them and be the person they want them to be.

Is beauty really irrelevant?

'Be Yourself'

We all have quotes that inspire us and make us feel as if someone understands. There are some quotes that inspire you to do something great and it all seems easy. The world makes it seem like it is too hard to accomplish. When you see people quote a famous saying but never live up to its word, that is when you start to feel like the quote was a cliche saying that is said by fakes who will never be themselves.

We all know there are tons of people in this world that will not accept another person for who they are. You judge someone every day and you probably don't realize it. Some people do realize it but do it anyway to feel better about themselves. I know because I have seen it.

There has been a saying I have been hearing since I was 15 years old. It inspired me, like most people, to not care what people say, do what you want to do, and live your life the way you want.

'Always be yourself' we have all heard that, haven't we?

For four years, I have been trying to be myself. No one wants to be yourself. They only want you to be what THEY want you to be.

Every day, I see someone who has said 'Be yourself' look at someone and judge them for their appearance, race, fashion, hairstyle, or weight. Most of the time they are doing it to make themselves feel better.

MOST of the people who say 'be yourself' then turn around and insult someone because they are not like them, are jealous. Now that sounds cliche too, I know, but if you actually look at the person that is insulting the other, you can actually see that they are jealous.
