Society nowadays has really set up beauty standards making beauty very subjective. Of course this beauty standards can only favor those who meet them. Well those who are lucky to meet this standards often experience most social advantages and better treatments by those who find them attractive.
I think that the problem is people look at the jewelery,the make up the fashion more of the physical appearance than considering brains confidence and other more qualities. I’m very sure if we could look deeper into what beauty implies then we all are beautiful in our own ways. You know some of us or rather many of us have never gotten the chance to feel pretty or be considered pretty in our lives. We end up missing so many opportunities and previledges.
Pretty previledge is outlayed from the young all the way to the old. I remember when I was at kindergarten the pretty kids with long hair and lighter skin were mostly favored by teachers. You know when the teacher is punishing us for some mistake they will always end up spared. Being presented with unnecessary gifts. Highschool is the worst you know because people have an appealing physical appearance to the teacher always ended up getting favors and previledges. What hurts most is we could do nothing but just build or develop hate for them .
Now that I’m all grown actually it’s worse. For instance when you go for a job interview. You are qualified for the job but just because the employer thinks you ain’t pretty enough denies you a chance and grants the chance to someone else just because they are appealing to them or being denied a chance because you are dark or light.This makes someone loose self confidence in themselves like it hurts so much. That’s why most people have low self esteem and lack of believe in themselves yet they have everything it takes to do something.
Well, I think that the society should change their perspective of beauty. Each and every one holds their own percentage of beauty. Just because of what the society thinks we end up wanting to change who we are just to fit in. People end up changing their skin color just to look what someone else wanted them to be and not what they want. Being beautiful doesn’t mean physical appearance only. Courage is beauty ,brains creativity and much more, therefore this all makes us equal in one way or the other.
We should all feel pretty, either light or dark,short or tall,plump or slender we are all beautiful and should be confident about that. Always learn to accept who you are.
Whenever you feel you are not pretty or someone makes you feel like you don’t fit in then always remember that YOU DEFINE BEAUTY YOURSELF ,THE SOCIETY DOESNT DEFINE BEUTY.
