My mom once told me in order for others to love you for you, you have to learn how to love yourself completely no matter what flaws you have. When you learn to love yourself, you can start to love others around you no matter the circumstances. I have friends who feel like they are worthless or not beautiful enough just because they arent tall or athletic enough. This kind of thinking can be very dangerous and may possibly lead you in harming your own body. Have you ever wonder or thought about your body being a temple? Treating our body well is very important.
Now-a-days many girls develop a low self-esteem by comparing themselves to other girls. For instance, some would have or need expensive materialistic things to make them feel better but that feeling doesnt last long. It is only a temporary satisfaction. Having a healthy self-esteem in teens is an important factor for us. Girls have an ideal body for themselves and it leads to an unhealthy diet and emotional problems. So many females lack self-esteem and a way to build your self-esteem is to be in a positive environment. You have to have positive people that would motivate your esteem. Other ways to build are to join in sports, do volunteer organizations, interact with adults, children and even get a part time job.
But I think beauty is from the inside out. Outside beauty only lasts for a short time but the inner beauty lasts for a lifetime. If we were to have the same shape and size our world wouldn't go round. The world wouldn't be fun and life wouldn't be interesting.

In our society, the media tends to play a big part in a young girl's life. Many girls become paranoid and insecure about their image. The media makes us think that we have to be a certain size, height, weight, or look in order to be beautiful. For example, to be beautiful you would have to wear a size 2 and be 56. The magazine promotes fashion and beauty for girls to only think about that and only some promote school or careers.
