Beauty In The Skin Your In

               In today's society many women have a very bad perception of how they should look.  Women of all ages look at magazines and think "I want to look like her".  They want the flawless and skinny body.  It ruins how people perceive themselves.  Girls are now thinking that they need to be a size 0 or big eyes or a smaller nose to be beautiful.
               Women should not be ashamed of who they are as long as they are healthy.  Everyone is beautiful in their own way and by photoshopping every photo that is in a magazine that morphs the way people view themselves.  People are thinking too negatively about themselves and I think that this would go along with the Dove Self Esteem movement.   Having such a negative outlook on ourselves is what is causing all of the eating disorders and this bullying mess.  Honestly it is sickening to think of all of the people with these problems and what actually impacts them are our celebrities or people in the public eye with their botox and lypo.  Women across the world now compare themselves to who they see on the magazines or in movies.  These are not real people, they are photoshopped to look a certain way.
               A big competitor for beauty is the doll Barbie.  I remember wanting to look just like barbie when I was younger.   But some people take it to the extreme by wanting to be the same size as Barbie.  Barbie is not realistic.  If Barbie were to be real she would be like 7 feet tall with a super skinny waist, huge bust, and a small head.  This is super unrealistic yet society views Barbie as a figure of beauty.
               I believe that people should feel the beauty in the skin they are in.  I dont think that people should be bringing in photos of celebs to the plastic surgeon so they can be identical.  Be happy that everyone is different and beautiful in their own way.
