Society: be yourself
Also society: not like that
EDIT: thanks to all of you guys in the comments for sooo much love and support, I m doing fine now not that I m fully confident but I do feel pretty and found who I m and my style, so yay. Ik none of u r gonna see this but really really thank you💓❤💓
So fuking true, when I was 12 I gained a little weight (40kg ) and omg all my "friends" called me fat and were so mean about everything. I cried every day 😂😂😂 nobody consoled me and my introvert a.s couldn't make new friends. Looking back at it, oh , I'm still suffering not only for my body but my face too.
(I'm 17 and 50kg 5 ft)
I hate myself
Be yourself. I'm literally always myself. I think you mean relax and have confidence.
@@kyojuroswife4112 I know the feeling. It sucks.
@@cameronvadnais4388 you can't be anyone but yourself. you are all your positive and negatives and fakeness.
@@kyojuroswife4112 right i also gain sum weight when i was in 9th grade, and it was still in the healthy bmi chart, but my friends say that i look fat anyways then i pressured myself to lose weight, when before i never care about my weight at all
Hearing someone so young call themselves ugly really hurt my heart.
the realisation on how disgusting the way the society is . so many young people seeing themselves 'fat' is so sad
I am now 12 but when I was 10 I would try to starve myself and where black leggings because they made me look skinner
I remember when I was a kid family dissed me called me black shine for being darker than the rest of my siblings. I remember saying when I grow up and start making my own money I'll bleach my skin. Now that I'm older, I love myself so much 💕 (it took a lot of hard work) and I wouldn't change anything about my skin tone. I just had my second baby and it's taking a minute to accept my new body but every time I look at it with stretch marks and scars and then look at my kids I'm thankful. And I'm more than this body. Our black community just doesn't do right by us as black women and it sucks. I grew up in zim btw
When I was 7 I thought I was really fat everyone called me fat for jokes and stuff I didn’t really know that.... so I didn’t eat much but my mom still fed me by hand since i would drop everything, I would only want to eat 4 bites and go to my room but I couldn’t do that but once I did then I kept doing it. When I was 8 I was like “ok I’m fat but that’s ok! Even though everyone is skinny I just stick out more people notice me!” Then when I was 3 months from being 8 I finally thought I was better, now everyone including calls me fat for jokes , people don’t usually do that anymore but when it happened it’s with my friends and we laugh about it
@@countryballpapper8765 oh my gosh sweety you're so young I bet you're gorgeous the way you are I think you should focus on having fun and being the best you mentally, the world has enough horrible people.
“brown skin looks nasty for some reason, but i don’t know what reason.” BROKE MY HEART
i know... absolutely heartbreaking. And when she called herself ugly, it done me!! its beyond screwed up that beauty is defined by the powers that be.
it’s generational for a lot of kids. it’s so sad.
My babies won't know social media for a long time. I won't let that shit posion their heads
@@tessy28 100% we raise the standards in our households building strong humans with self worth and self love. My daughter 20 now and son 12 its a constant battle to fight the rotten system but thats our duty. Totally worth it in a world telling you to be any one but yourself.
Aww :(
As an 11 yo girl in the 6th grade after discovering how toxic beauty standards are, I’ve promised myself that I won’t ever try to follow any unrealistic/unattainable beauty standards that will make me hate myself bc of this video and bc of my mom
reading this comment made me so happy. at your age I spent so long hating my looks for no reason except the media told me I should. I admire you and your generation so much for calling these stupid standards out. you are BEAUTIFUL no matter what!
@@eithnemelee2997 same! I was just a bit fat at that age, like 50 kg n 5'3 everyone used to call me fatty n all but then I got really tired of all that so I started to eat after so many days, that lead to me being underweight. I don't hate myself, I don't love myself either. I am starting to love myself tho. & macaroonprincess, you r just gorgeous! I may not know how u look like but I just know, you're beautiful
Edit: I am 15 yrs old, 46 kg and 5'6. I'm getting there 😊
You are beautiful
I’m in the same situation as you. Young and in the target age group for these “beauty” ads. Stay strong!
so so proud

@Tatjana Jukova No one is ugly. Not a single person on earth. Everyone is beautiful in their own and unique ways. That's what over 80% of people do not see.
@@talyarotstain9098 Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of men that women reject on a daily basis and consider invisible, and the same for women who can't seem to find guys attracted to them.
If little girls are crying over being ugly, we know we messed up.
@Arkham but it literally does? your appearance has a very large effect on how people treat you.
@Arkham appearance *does* matter, but some people obsess about being pretty (like me). unless its unhealthy, as long as it’s making them feel good, I don’t see anything wrong with beauty as a hobby of sorts. i was raised on the idea that beauty is big eyes blonde hair and tan skin, and since I don’t see that but I do see girls on social media and even my friends, I just constantly feel ugly and self conscious. someone’s going to say “you’re beautiful no matter what” but it doesn’t help. when you wear hoodies and traditionally masculine clothing you’re a freak and when you wear revealing clothes you’re a slut. when you are the way you are you’re annoying or ugly or mean and when you try to change you get called fake. i know it’s unhealthy, but some girls I know hate themselves and constantly compare themselves to each other and celebrities and I do it too. appearance is so complicated. it’s important, but when you obsess over it it’s unhealthy, and it’s hard to draw a line where it becomes unhealthy. im so sorry for how long that is, but I just needed to share my experience for some reason so I hope I didn’t bore you.
@Arkham best response mate
EXACTLY!!! THIS WORLD IS MESSED UP!! POOR GIRL!!! 😒TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THAT BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!! 👧🏾👧🏿
@@tobischmidt1715 it shouldn’t but it does. And just cuz it does doesn’t mean it matters cuz people shouldn’t be assholes??? Idiot
I'm a 14 year old girl and I deserve to love and be obssessed with myself after YEARS of hating me and my body. These "beauty standards" are a joke.
Why do you deserve this?
Same here ! I struggle with the same issue, but we DESERVE to feel better !
@@randomfroglol5159 why? Why is this deserved?
Good for you, girl. Tell your friends!
No u dont
I not even going to lie..I love kpop but I have become so insecure after looking at all the pretty girls and boys. I know they're treated terribly, I know they're starving themselves, I know they've had plastic surgery done but I can't help but still think I should "naturally" look like that.
same... sometimes i feel so ugly that i cry a lot
@@fries6197 hello just wanted to let y’a know that i saw your comments, i saw that you were 36-38 kg and to be as honest as you am 63kg for 172 cm. For my mind Its a lot. I always felt like i was so fat. I remember i was 8 when i was around 35 kg, i Hope you are very small because this weight is really not a lot, you think you are ugly or too fat but believe me, Its clear that you are very beautiful and that you dont have to feel not confident ❤
ye same for me.. like, im 12 years old and i have been a fan of kpop for over 2 years. my kpop fan "journey" started with one of my best friends, about 1 year after we started listening to kpop, she started constantly telling herself that she was fat and ugly(btw. she had long black hair, super bright blue eyes, she was pale, had red lips and a perfect hourglass figure. she was one of the most beautiful people i knew!) , this lead to an extreme eating disorder... then one day when we were at their pool just hanging out, i noticed how alarmingly slim she was... it was scary. i told her what i noticed and asked her if she was doing okay, she told me that her mom too, constantly body shamed her to the point where she would tell her that she as a fat bi**h.. the girl i once knew as the happy, smiling friend of the group turned into an depressed emotional wreck.. this started effecting me too, and just like that i developed an eating disorder, and i started self harming as way to deal with all the emotional stress i felt.. thankfully my parents noticed something wasn't right and took me to a doctor..i am almost fully healed now, but still i sometimes think about skipping meals or not eating at all.. the fact that being considered "beautiful" comes at such a high cost/rist is not acceptable!
@@fries6197 omg fr. Once i was trying on a dress that was really skinny so it completely stuck out to my body so that made my stomach show a bit too much and made it look like i was "fat", i already had problems with how fat my stomach look but after i saw myself in that dress i literally started crying so hard because i thought i was ugly and fat. I still have problem with my stomach till this day and end up having a literal meltdown because of my self image issues
You are always gonna feel that and some people look so good even without trying unless you understand not everyone can look good
The part where kids called themselves ugly was literally heartbreaking
Holly shit I know
I cried. No one should have to feel that way
I still think I'm ugly, and I'm an adult.
My little brother is black, and he said he wanted to be white at the age of three-four!? bc of some parents that tell their child to bully tjeir best frind, THEY WER BSF! BC HES BLACK, To tell him white is good and black bad "it looks like poop" ive been called that once but i forgive her bc she didnt know it was mean
I cried when that little girl cried🙁
When little girls are calling themselves ugly we really need to re-examine our world.
But that is really more about parenting than anything else.
Let's be honest about that.
@@JoinTheProgress It kinda isn't, my parents always said I was beautiful and stuff like that but I never felt pretty because of all the people saying I needed to be more slim and have "fair skin", and that made me feel really bad.
@@bamcoiu210 But your parents didn't teach you how to deal with that. Parents telling you you're beautiful isn't very believable (to you) because they're obviously biased. So they need to teach you how to deal with the rest of what society throws at you. Not blaming your parents personally, but am saying a great deal of the time it is about parenting.
@@JoinTheProgress Yeah, they've been teaching me that no matter what to ignore what people say about me, but sometimes I just can't you know? But yes I get what you're saying and you're right
@@bamcoiu210 I can't really see you, but if that is you in your profile pic, I would think the popularity of kpop would compensate; kpop has become huge over the past five years, you look south korean (apologies if I'm wrong and you're offended). This whole thing is about how culture and society molds opinions, then how we all manage that.
As a black 13-year-old girl who feels she has a large nose, a tall and slightly bulky build ,discoloured skin and currently obsessing over her diet, this hit deep. I am always comparing myself with my pretty, delicate classmates and wishing from the bottom of my heart I could even look slightly similar to them. Thin waists, sleek hair, blinding smiles and clear skin. I swear, I was 7 when I started thinking this way, which is so effed up.
Trust me real world isn't like this
im 15 and i have a lot of the stereotypically "good" features and honestly i feel just as shitty about my appearance and i wish i was different. there is a reason that even the kardashians (not that i look a single bit like them) keep changing their appearance. i think the journey we all need to go on is just accepting who we are even though it's one of the most difficult things because there's no point trying to change. you are brave for saying this and i know you're beautiful and amazing for who you are
@@lisanyugenhascancer6332 But it is. That’s the whole point of this video. It is showing that people are pressuring actual children that they need to look like a supermodel or like Barbie. The real world is like this and only now, after years and years of people getting more and more depressed, people are starting to realize that it isn’t okay.
as an artist listen big noses are absolte joys to draw i love drawing large nose profiles their so fun to draw
Every model is build that way from their bonestructure. It's considered a superior build with high and sharp cheekbones, a beautiful frame for the body. They appear statuesque and impressive beautiful. You are beautiful. Don't let opinions of self conscious and self seeking people effect your mental health. And your peers are just that, they have no Club, so their opinion should not matter as much (or should bit matter at all) as that of well meaning and educated adults.
Beauty standards are so arbitrary that no human being can reach them. You have to have dark skin, but European features. You have to be full in some places, but skinny in others. Everyone has something wrong with them. It's really genius from a marketing standpoint.
when people start designing themselves freely via technology and genetic modification, I wonder how much more insane beauty ideals are going to become. lol
@@honkhonk6359 people over here gonna be gettin plastic skin to look like real-life barbie dolls or some sh*t like that
@@honkhonk6359 i fear the Future
I fucking cried when those children said brown is ugly and a literal toddler called herself ugly my heart gonna explode
Same 😭😭
A lot of that has to do with parents not telling them enough or instilling good enough thoughts in them from early on. I give a lot of kudos to the one mother who is telling her to daughter how beautiful she is. That needs to be done every single day. I tell my son and daughter they are amazing brilliant beautiful from the time they wake up until they go to bed.
Honestly if children that young believe they are ugly, it’s not just that people didn’t tell them they are pretty, people told them they are ugly 😭
@@XXYYZZZA Yeah..Been through that :( such people deserve to be thrown in the dumpster.
@@XXYYZZZA that is terrible and disgusting. Ugliness is what those folks are in the inside who call children ugly
I hate how women's body are like trends
THIS!! ^^
its the same with men's body.
@@alicjaalvena1120 really I have not really noticed can you go into detail a bit more ?
@@alicjaalvena1120 No it's not. Why does everyone have to go "BUT WHAT ABOUT MEN" whenever talking about women's issues.
Edit: To all the woke intellectuals in the comments replying to me: I'm not saying men don't experience beauty standards-
I'm saying it's not nearly the same thing for them and WE KNOW you're not bringing it up in this discussion because you actually care about men's issues.
You're literally proving my point.
@@Mimi-ef4mt well, its a new fairly new thing, because women suffered from this for centuries, but nowadays men became objectified too. media are feeding us with images how perfect men should look, men became a product, just like it was with women for a long, long time. and if you dont match the criteria set by the ideal men image that the media sells us, you're seen as unattractive. there are proofs everywhere, esp on youtube. you can see lots of videos with handsome men, where women objectify him, and comment how handsome he is. perfect male look became a perfect product, desired by women. feminists think we still live in XIX century, but its far from truth. in fact women have much more power on dating market than they used to, they also became financially independent, so market & media recognized them as a consumer group worth reaching.
As a wasian person I grew up being bullied for my "dark skin" (At age 5-7), Now I am being told I am too pale and should go out in the sun more (I'm pretty much the same skin colour as back then). Beauty standards should not seep into the lives of literal children. Let them have their childhood and focus on play, no matter what they look like.

My heart broke when that lil girl broke down infront of her mother when she said she is ugly.
That wasn’t her mom but still heartbreaking
That was her hairdresser. Heartbreaking clip.

@@in.themeantime. same. I hate that we’ve inherited a society that teaches little kids to hate themselves for their non-white features.

But you are so prettyyyyy
@@dayummilooklikemonalisarn318 well the thing is ive had acne since i was 10 so guess im not that pretty lol, its been a long time so i just live with it now
@@KitanKate hey hey it's not all good to be all beautiful ya see people don't focus on your talent when you're pretty and you'll never know if a guy or a girl likes you for your face or personality. Plus, you are beautiful :)
@@mommywhyismylifeamessog yes listen to him/her. :) u are pretty. And from what I know atm your kind. Dont let any person or your own feelings get to you. Your perfect just the way u are :))
brb im 10 so time to write
If you are feeling insecure of your own body, get off social media and take a walk into the real world. Visit your local coffee shop, take public transport, stroll around your neighbourhood, go to the park, etc. You will realize that 99% of people you encounter will not fit the ideal standard of beauty and you won't feel alone anymore.
This is SO real
Go to the beach. That's as real as it gets.
ikr like im fromsouth asia and a lot of ppl are soupposed to be skiny and all and a lots are but w that ppl are also called flat i mean how can someone be skinny as paper and not flait its lime impossible
frl
The fact that he's a guy saying all this is the most shocking most girls have been depressed about their body size and type dude I appreciate you. To all the black girls your body is the best.
Yeah I love that it’s a dude saying this.
yall only care about black girls and no one gives a shit about the south asian brown girls that cry because the world HATES desi features
I started crying when that little girl said she is ugly because she is black.
Exactly, like you are beautiful no matter the color of ur skin
YESSSSSSSS ME TOO it's so sad how that was reinforced in her from such a young age
XD
@@PoradnikiPanaMietka?
me too,
i literally almost cried out the ocean..
the part where black kids called themselves ugly broke my heart so much and i can't stop crying now
Me too I did not expect to cry from this video
Same, it hurt so much to see children being made to believe those things about themselves :'(
sameee, the little black girl saying that was sooo sad
@Emily Parker what do you mean by that?
@Emily Parker i didnt reply to you...what are u talking about
I nearly cried seeing the child (A LITERAL CHILD) cry about how she thought that she was ugly. Like wtf is our society and the world that we live in to the point where a small child will literally think she is ugly when she isn't at all? And the past beauty standards look hellish. Like, the corsets look as though they could crush a stomach. These beauty standards are so unhealthy and dangerous to the point where people pass away from them. This is not ok
it's normal for even young children to feel self conscious about their looks. i know i was. it's nothing new.
The Kardashians altered looks are so horrible that it is really bizarre that anyone else would desire it for themselves, anyway. I agree completely, embrace your body with gratitude for what you have!
And nicki cardi too
Fr tho

Ikr :(
@@rotten2thcore damn that sucks for you. hope you come to love yourself one day 🤍
@@rotten2thcore brown skin is so beautiful. I hope you’ll be able to see that soon
Every colour is beautiful actually the people way of seeing is only wrong 😐🤐😏
The horrible thing is that my mother had to be worried that I had an eating disorder when I was 11. She shouldn't have to be worried about that.
I hate modern day beauty standards. I was told all my life my nose was too big, my lips were too big, my eyes were too small, my body was too thin or too fat. I get put down a lot for being an Italian woman, getting many remarks about how my skin should be flawless and tan, how I should have the right curves, how my hair should be blonder and less brown, that I'll never be enough. I was forced to look at these Eurocentric standards, and told to be better. Now I struggle to love myself or think as myself as pretty.
The fact that the Kardashians want us to believe they were born that way when we have LITERALLY watched them transform over the years is asinine and insulting.
Ikr Kylie is the worst out of all them
It always makes me question why they're still relevant
@@kecym.4808 Maybe cuz they’re literally living the American dream. The ability to make a fortune selling items and influencing people to buy other brands is the dream. To have a profitable and scalable business is the dream. Creating generational wealth for your great-great-great-great grand children is the dream. I respect their ambition and hustle. Especially Kylie. Lots of people are born into wealth and they don’t do anything with it (lack of ambition, too afraid, mental illness, drug addiction, other addictions). She COULD just sit back and do nothing and probably have less haters. But instead she is so ambitious and continues to capitalize on everything at her disposal to push the boundaries and scale her brand.
It would be so nice that one day I wake up and everyone forgets them..
I shocks me how people idolize them
Individually, humans are capable of great intellect. Collectively, the exact opposite occurs. Beware of large groups where mob mentality takes over.
I will never ever get over that beautiful black baby girl saying that she was "so ugly". That was painfully heartbreaking.
😢
I started tearing up when the other girl said “brown is nasty, I don’t know why”
she was so pretty 😥😥
I teared up
Her words brought tears to my eyes.. No child should feel that way! My 7 y/o daughter is Palestinian/Danish/Greek and has a gorgeous brown skin tone, sadly she idolises "white skin" and sees it as superior because she's caught her father outwardly idolizing white skin numerous times.
Fair skin in the Middle East is also very much idolized although it wasn't mentioned in this video above.
To any parents out there, remember that your word's (especially when openly self deprecating) can impact a child's thinking dramatically, love yourself too.
As a 13yr old girl being brought up into this society I’ve been told things like “get skinny” “oh don’t be so sarcastic it’s rude” “wear makeup” “take off the makeup you look Cakey” “don’t wear baggy clothes actually try” “stop trying so hard” women are seen as trends I’m only 13 give me a break.
And it will only get worse
This is true..i remember being so mad at my dad for saying my skin was a slight chocolate moca colour, I insisted that my skin was caramel and glorified being light skin..I also realised how I truly preferred people to call me by my English name "mikayla" because i thought it was pretty and nicer but my actual black cultural name, i didn't quite like because I had an unknown hatered for it. For years I hated the concept of being closer to being my race, I fought so hard to be closer to being Caucasian. I spoke English more, fought to keep my skin light and weight low..I spent more time on Instagram, and other social media platforms that glorified slim thick or skinny European features and that brought so much depression towards me cuz I tried so hard to look like them..be like them. I broke down a little today..because i just realised this
Hope you deleted your Instagram now??
Please,black is beautiful and less risk of skin diseases, if someone loves chocolate how can they not love chocolate looking skin.Please love yourself,your special❤
When the black kids said their skin color is ugly, my heart just shattered. :(
Same. It's unbelievably sad:/
Made me cry my nose hurts for trying to stop myself 😔🥺
Same black is beautiful. I actually picked a black doll as a kid it was a cabbage patch doll and was my favorite doll because I could give the doll baths and it had this rubber ducky robe. It’s sad that a lot of kids think dark is bad, but really dark is beautiful.
It is a pain that many people have to deal with, even among black people there is still discrimination. Light skinh black see themselfs as better then dark skin, they mock and make them feel bad. Imagine being told that you are ugly because of something you have no control over?
OMG IKR
The fact that that little girl thought her skin color was "nasty" but couldn't give a reason why 😭
i died
so sad
I really almost cried. I wish I could give her a hug and tell her she's beautiful just the way she is.
It breaks my heart and I just want to give her a hug!
I find it sad too. As a young black girl I used to want to be lighter all the time and, if im being honest, I still do. But thats because I was basically brainwashed into thinking my skin color is ugly disgusting and dirty. Thats something I can't change but now learned how to appreciate my skin color and my natural hair. We should teach the younger generation how to love everything about ourselves. We'll get close to that someday I hope
Sad how once you see this video and you start loving yourself but 10 minutes after, you feel insecure again
I'm 11 Years old and honestly i always feel bad about myself.. I do excersice secretly for flat tummy or curves and also worry about my face features so this has made me realize the impact social media has on us. The worst thing is the fact that almost all the girls at my classroom want an hourglass shape... Bullying doesn't help too, a girl at my classroom was being told bad Things about her body and her BEST FRIENDS just made It worse. Also we gotta have in mind that it's not just girls, boys suffer because of the ideal body.. This made remember When my aunt had anorexia and because of this Everyday she would eat almost nothing, walk like 10 kilometres and do 150 push ups and she actually was already thin so it was really bad for her health and she still felt fat.. ( It was around the 1900's). Let's also not forget about skinny ppl, they are always told "How is it posible you don't like your body? your thin" but being to skinny is also a big insecurity. This world is fucking doomed
You’re very smart ❤I wish I had this mindset when I was little
Love, please remember that you're a child. You deserve to have a fun childhood, you don't need to feel sexy or hot. You don't need curves, sweetie.
It makes me so so sad to see young kids, especially young girls, be pressured to fit in these awful beauty standards.
They get pressured to wear revealing clothes and oversexualise themselves while being kids and they get told that it's "feminism" or "liberation" when the reality is that they're being manipulated. And on top of that, for some fucked up reason they get harassed / bullied when they act their age.
Honey, please remember that social media is fake and society will always find a way to hate on women no matter how they look like. If you want to exercise, do, but for yourself. Don't starve yourself nor work out to death just because that's "what you're supposed to do".
🫂🫂🫂
Don‘t worry about the current trend.. in a few years it‘ll change again. We can’t assemble our body parts like clothing. Be the best version of yourself, trust that you’ll grow into the right body for you and find the clothes that make YOU look beautiful according to your frame.
We are not machines who all look the same. Love your individuality
what you said is healing my eleven-year-old me, thank u. you are beautiful.
You know there's a problem with society when a baby calls themselves ugly.
no child is born thinking they are ugly
think about that!
Well there are some ugly babies. Not everyone is beautiful

God the beginning of the video was heart breaking
Fr, when I was 7 I thought I was out of everyone’s league(I’m exaggerating) and when I was 10 multiple ppl started calling me ugly,the next days I started seeing myself different every time I looked in the mirror. I started thinking that maybe everyone thinks that I’m ugly. I thought they didn’t want to have anything to do with me but they were also watching me waiting for me to do a mistake to laugh at me so I started distancing from ppl. Now at 15 I’m diagnosed with both anxiety and social anxiety.
@@ayalacarrizalesvaleria6689 I felt that... ever since I was little I was called ugly for so many years and even at this age, I am 19 now, I still believe I am ugly even though I graduated like 2 years ago.
Those kids saying that black dolls are ugly broke my heart to pieces !

As a filipino and having brown skin is hard for me because of the beauty standards in Asia are so toxic I was always insecure about my skin growing up I always got bullied of my skins and I used bleaching products and now I’m proud of who I am I learned to love my myself the way I am. Always remind yourself to don’t care about what iver thinks about you, you are beautiful just the way you are no need to chance your self just to be liked in social media or in public.
Im filipino too with tan skin- tbh thankfully our society is not as bad as other asian countries- look at south korea and a japan, yeesh
This made me cry because I suffer from body image issues and I'm not Caucasian and I always felt ugly because of that. this made me feel better in a sense or rather more aware. thank you for spreading the truth and awareness in this serious but common problem across the globe.
The clip of the black children preferring the white dolls and thinking black skin is ugly is devastating to watch. Really great video.
It was so sad
This is a series of studies that were conducted and have been recreated multiple times. A quick Google search of the doll experiment should make it come up. I first saw these clips in child development and they're heartbreaking but so important for our understanding of how the media and society is conditioning us

This video honestly made me realise how happy I am with who I am.
I’m 13 this year and I’m from China. My dad has always wanted me to have natural darker skin because he thinks it resembles that you’re healthy and that you’re exposed to the sun a lot. He always took me out to play and eventually I had a tan skin. I also lived in Fiji at the time so everything was really natural and I got to see the beautiful culture and differences in mannerism. When Covid started I had to go back to China because they had a more advanced medical experience. I stayed there for two years, home schooled and was always on my iPad. Around that time I was really insecure about my body because I saw so many other young girls having a skinny body. I wouldn’t say I was fat, but I was leaning towards that. I also didn’t go to school so i didn’t get to see kids my age and the different body types. I made a workout routine for myself when I was around 11. I gave up soon after that because I didn’t see any “change” after a month.
My parents always told me that I am perfect the way I am and right now, I started going to school 5 months ago and it honestly made me feel better about myself. My mum recently told me to enjoy my childhood and to not get a boyfriend too early cause that might ruin my childhood. She told me to eat as much as I want and be confident in myself.
I’d say my feeling of acceptance with my body was a pretty big change from a few years ago and I’m living my life and enjoying every moment of it 😊
Your parents seem lovely. Dw im sure you are beautiful, don’t let toxic beauty standards brainwash you it isnt worth it
I think an important part that's missing here is to really question the whole concept that it's important to be beautiful.
Don't our bodies serve at least a dozen more important functions than to be pretty to us or anyone else? To keep us alive, to get us to places, to communicate with others, to make a difference in the world, to experience life?
Why wouldn't that be enough?
Do you cherish your friends or coworkers, family or strangers for their appearance? Or for their patience, their kindness, their humor, their skills,...?
Just imagine what the world could look like if we stopped caring about looking beautiful and invested all that time, money and energy into making us and the world better...
Well said ❤

the fact that taylor swift was considered a beauty standard but was still bodyshamed and then years later she revealed she had an eating disorder and multiple times considered or even executed acts of self harm because she hated herself so much is honestly a tragic situation and a perfect example of how these things go.
But Taylor still didn't do enough to call out the toxic standards that praised her whiteness. She benefited from society putting her on a pedestal
You can never be beautiful ''enough'' you are either beautiful or not beautiful and the only person that decides it is you.
When she still had her eating disorder, people were saying she was too skinny and had no ass and stuff, but now that she's gained healthy weight, people call her fat. I hate society.
Yes little angel...black is beautiful. You are beautiful. Don’t cry. 🥰💕💖🌷🌺
People are just constantly searching flaws in others to fill the void they have, and to make themselves feel less miserable. How sad it is that they aimed to bring the best artist down, isn't it? Taylor deserves the world
I'm 13 and been super insecure about my self but this made me surprisingly feel better that everything I see on social media isn't real and I should not blame myself for not fitting the beauty standards
exactly!!! im 14, and honestly just embracing your facial features is so important and just romanticizing them and your body, its really fun just being involve with everything about yourself. Glad you feel better!!
this hit really hard. I was called skinny in elementary, but as soon I was in middle school all I could think about was making body. I was literally spending HOURS doing slim light workouts, and " abs in two weeks" it got so bad I would cry in dressing rooms and cry myself to sleep. after a while, it got better. Looking back, I realized I just hated myself because of the beauty standard.

Y’all remember when Megan Fox literally made headlines for having imperfect THUMBS? The way women’s appearances are scrutinized is actually sickening
didnt people criticize her and hate her for being “too pretty”? I think I read something that people gave bad reviews of Jennifer’s Body because Megan looked so beautiful and killed men in the movie and the feminists were not too happy about that. I forgot the source, but it might of been a youtube video as well tho 🤷♀️
@@98_juno Why would 'The feminists' be mad about that movie, it's not a perfect movie but it turns a lot of sexist tropes on their head. Then again, a lot of young people claiming to be feminists today wouldn't know real feminism (female liberation) if it led them around the room by their tampon string, so. (speaking as a woman/feminist myself). The third wave/choice "feminism" is a joke.

This video broke my heart. If young girls are calling themselves ugly at such an adolescent age, society needs to change 💜💜
When I was five, first day of kindergarten (we were lining up to go into class because class hadn’t started yet) I got called fat and ugly. I screamed at them boy who said that saying that I was not fat and ugly. The teacher came out and I got in trouble for being loud and yelling. My excuse was that I was defending my self, I told the teacher what happened. The teacher was rude to me the rest of the day. The boy never got in trouble, me and the boy still hate each other as well. Him calling me fat and ugly made me hate myself, not just other people and/or the internet.
listening to that 11 yr old girl say how she doesn’t like looking in the mirror and she feels uncomfortable in her skin makes me so incredibly sad
As someone around her age it made me sad that people I know probably think the same thing
Litterally when I was 9 I got body shamed and stated starving myself because I thought I was fat
M e
well, Im 11 and i had an ed(anorexia)
cuz i looked at my sisters social media twice or thrice
im around her age, a few years older, and i'm constantly hating myself and how I look. I've been bullied and body-shamed by people all around. I've done a ton of stuff, gone on water diets, restricted myself, anything to fit in and be that perfect girl. I've even debated suicide more than 6 times on my own, but I was too scared. I weight 156.3 pounds by the way, so am I overweight? Yes. But does my body deserve to be hated on? No. I just don't know what to do anymore...

I heard a psychologist say that starving someone is one of the quickest ways to control them. Think about that for a second...
I'd bite whoever tries to do that to me first
Sounds very logical. Humans are very aware of not getting as much food as they need or even just want and aware of the fact that if they don't eat enough, they simply die sooner or later. And if someone who already has power over you in one way or another and that you have a familial bond with controls your food intake, that's a lot.
exactly !! eating less shuts down ur body slowly so you feel really tired and if someone tells you what to do i feel like it’s the easiest choice
@@teariesz4103 I used to be a dancer and we were judged so hard by everyone if we gained any weight at all and told we were ugly, etc. I know you try to shake things off like whatever it’s just words but after living in that world for a long time it really scars you and makes you feel so ugly for not being a size 0... when in reality curves are beautiful.

i remember when i was 10 i was looking at pinterest and saw a pretty asian girl (i’m white, british) and felt hurt because i didn’t look like that. i felt sad and disgusting for not looking that way. i remember wanting to be just like her. a couple years later, i caked my face in makeup, layers of foundation, clumps of mascara, powdered face, and red lips, but that wasn’t pretty at all. nowadays, i don’t wear foundation, i’ve tried to do subtle makeup with blush, clean face, and a glossier mascara, (which i recommend since their motto isn’t to change your entire appearance, it’s to enhance what’s already there.) and with this subtle makeup, it took me a while but when i’m wearing that, it’s the most beautiful i’ve every felt.
I feel like in this society people are made to feel unhappy with their appearance no matter what they look like. Bc I'm half asian half white (also british) and growing up I always felt kind of weird, because I looked somewhat asian but everyone around me was white british. So I felt "white" but obviously I wasn't gonna be treated that way. I think we should all just feel proud of who we are.
as an indian-american kinda relate. when asian people started trending i was so excited and then i just saw a bunch of east asians and stopped being excited

(being almost 40 sure doesn't help with other parts, lol, although getting older truly does make you give WAY less fucks what other people think of you) I will admit that even though I developed pride for my "wicked witch" nose, I still don't love it. But I realized that's ok, I don't have to be in love with every part of me in order to feel valid and attractive as a whole person. Whatever you were born with is just uniquely what makes up the whole of YOU, and the right person will love the entire package, and never gaslight you about the parts you don't love, like my mom and past boyfriends have.

When I was 12, my crush and his friends told me that I look ugly because of my dark circles. From that onwards, I started to feel really insecure and I really hated the way I look every time I look in mirror. I started avoiding all the mirrors in public and my phone front camera. Now, I’m 15 and I’ve also heard of some adults praise me for how pretty I am for my natural look (I don’t do make up at all). This makes me realised that teenagers nowadays will only consider someone as “beautiful” if you look like one of those influencers online which we’re using plenty of make ups and filters to cover the flaws on their face. Right now, I don’t feel that much insecure anymore and I do look into the mirror and see how actually beautiful I look. But this is something that everyone should acknowledge: your “jokes” may be funny to you but it would ruin the way how someone view themselves. Also calling someone ugly for “fun” is not something to be normalised in this society.
i’m a black girl and i used to feel so ugly and i wanted to be white so bad. but once i left highschool i started realising how pretty i am and that comparing myself to white girls will do nothing but make me feel bad because without plastic surgery, i will never look like them. comparison is the thief of joy. now, the only thing i’m somewhat insecure about is my weight but i also like it because i love my round face :) black is beautiful, don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise
the part with that beautiful little black girl saying she was ugly brought me to tears. society beauty standards are fucked up.
