RE: Nobody's Perfect

'Words like these seem to constantly repeat in our minds: become stronger, become skinnier, eat less, wear more make up... because if you don’t, you will not be considered beautiful/handsome or you won't be accepted by your peers." -Casandra Duong

I think this is one of the best blog posts I've seen yet. This is so true. People think that if you don't have everything that you see on television, you aren't normal. Which isn't true at all. I think that people need to stop worrying about what they look like, and just be their selves. NOBODY IS PERFECT, and that's what the media seems the make us think we have to be. What is perfect? Nobody knows. Everyone has their own idea of "perfect". Everyone's "perfect" is different, and nobody's "perfect" is right. The media is stupid. They make people think that's what they have to look like in order to be accepted in the world. Which isn't true at all. 

I think it's quite horrible. The people that look like that on television have loads of make up on, they have personal stylists. People don't have those. We have to deal with what we have, and apparently what we have isn't "perfect". SO WHAT?! So what if you don't wear makeup? So what if you don't have the nicest clothes? So what if you don't hangout with "popular people"? That's not what's important in life. That makeup, those clothes, or that popular group of friends aren't going to get you anywhere in life. You do what you have to do in order to get by. 

The media says it would be better if we were skinnier, prettier, more popular, and people try to change because of that. Don't change for anyone but yourself. Don't do what you think you have to in order to be accepted. Do it because you want to! You're the only controler of your life. Not the media, not your peers, and not your parents. Don't change to make other people happy, and don't change to live up to these high standards the media has put in our faces. Change because it's what you want for yourself, because in the long run, it's not going to effect the people around you, it'll be you that's effected for the rest of your life.
