Being Uncomfortable in Your Own Skin

By Chanel Anderson

            A significant number of women are so uncomfortable with the way they look that they would consider cosmetic alternatives to change them. Why majority of our women in society today have plastic surgery is because they do not feel comfortable in their own skin or they don’t feel good about themselves. The insecurities about their true inner self is also another big factor as well as the pressure that the media and Hollywood has; over the years the rates for cosmetic surgery has increased tremendously. The sense of feeling and wanting to be important and knowing that your loved are some characteristics that women look to get from others. An important question to ask yourself is, “are you comfortable in your skin”? Often women focus on what they don’t like about themselves rather than what’s great. Some women may believe their imperfections make them feel unique when in other cases is seems to be the complete opposite, were they feel that their self-confidence would improve if they could reduce the appearance of skin imperfections. Confidence comes from believing in yourself and happiness increases when you take full advantages of the experiences and accomplishments that you value. That’s why it’s so important to keep doing what’s important to you. For some it’s being capable (achieving goals, accomplishing tasks, or learning something new) and for others it’s about being desirable (being liked, spending time with people you care about, being viewed as a good person). When you know what you value then you know where you’re vulnerable and that’s when doubt gets influenced. When you focus on solutions instead of problems, other people will pick up on the fact that you are confident, fearless, and expect results. Pretty soon, you’ll start believing it, too!

An Unrealistic Perfection

By Ceu Cristina Casimiro

In today’s society we are bombarded with images and pressure from the media. The media is portraying a “perfection” of women and stereotypes, which in reality is unrealistic and does not exist. Having these high standards and social pressures to achieve “perfection” has really had a negative impact on woman today.  Too many young girls today believe they are overweight and suffer from depression. All of this media pressure has caused woman to put their health and their lives at risk as more and more woman every year are suffering from anorexia and bulimia. There are too many stereotypes, such as models have to be thin that are constantly surrounding us, which eventually causes us to believe that they are true.  We need to help these girls and show them that they are looking up to and trying to achieve a “perfection” that is not there. Below is a video to show us girls that all those celebrities and models we look up to are not as perfect as they appear in photos and magazines. Behind all the makeup and plastic surgery procedures they are average woman just like the rest of us. We need to change our way and society’s way of thinking. Beauty is much more than a pretty face and a nice figures, true beauty is more than skin deep. So stop comparing and idolizing their “perfection” and realize how beautiful you are!
