Feel good and feel beautiful |
|
By Johanna M. Sampan
SHE never wanted to feel this
way—unpretty, unwanted and unloved. But how could she prevent it
from happening if all they could see was her dark skin. “I’m not
beautiful. I’m far from being one, if only I have fair skin—they
could really appreciate me,” she sadly cries as tears start to
fall down from her weary eyes.
The pain of rejection can cause
insecurities and greatly affect self-esteem especially on teenage
girls. Most of them can have a very low self-esteem due to the
twisted dictates of a double-standard society that beautiful women
are the only ones we see on television and magazines—thin, tall
and fair skinned. These unrealistic standards of beauty can really
change a young girl’s view on what real beauty is.
