Well?

What makes YOU beautiful?

Statistics used:

1.Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful (up from 2% in 2004)
2.80% of children who are 10 years old are afraid of being fat.
3. 1 in 10 young men are using unproven supplements and/or steroids.
4.Young girls are more afraid of becoming fat than they are of nuclear war, cancer, or losing their parents.

Where I got them: [link]

Thanks.

The fourth statistic shocked me. Having lost one parent already (and know about nuclear war, cancer etc.) I'm surprised and upset that young girls can think that. By 'young girls', I'm guessing you mean teenagers, such as myself. It's horrifying. Sure, I want to look 'pretty' in the eyes of others', but I'd rather have my father here to talk to instead ^^;

It shocked me as well. Personally I'm more afraid of losing one or both my parents 10x more than being considered ugly [though, I already am considered ugly xD]. Young girls refers to lik 7-18 year olds, I suppose.

Thank you for your input. c:

It's weird (I think^^;) that people find the need to try to make themselves look 'better'. Nobody is ugly, everyone is beautiful in their own way c:

It is weird. Sure, we're all entitled to our insecurities but you shouldn't go as far as plastic surgery unless it's seriously hampering your quality of life. That's true. It's just sad that not many people can see that.

On the subject of that 4th statistic... I can actually understand that one, because- in general- death, serious illness and war seem very distant to young people; whereas issues with their looks are far closer to them. Not saying that it's a good thing that visual image is so important to people, but still...

Personally, I don't consider myself beautiful, but... in terms of appearance, I think I have nice hands. As for personality, I've been told I'm a good listener; though that might just be because I'm a very quiet, nonconfrontational introvert who tends to befriend chatty outroverts, haha. I can deal with people ranting about their issues to me without getting offended.
