Today, I received an invite for a Facebook event: "Most Beautiful Teen Contest"
It seems like nothing and it's really very dumb. But there were THOUSANDS of people attending. I saw it and laughed. Not at the contest itself, well a little at the contest, but at the fact that every girl had makeup caked on. Beauty comes from within, not from having perfect hair and makeup. I don't look at appearance when I'm choosing my friends, I just say "hi" and see if they're tolerable. I am human though so of course I notice looks, but I don't think of how they look as a judgment. I'm not saying makeup and hair products are bad either, heck, I'm one of the most guilty of all when it comes to wearing too much makeup or frying my hair with dyes and flat irons. Makeup and hair products though, should only be used to make yourself happy. If you don't like doing hair and makeup like I do, then don't spend an hour on it, no one will care, and if they do, that's something wrong with them. I started wearing makeup at eleven as a confidence booster, and I liked wearing it. But it's like athletics, you have to like it to do it.
Also, girls out there, making the "Am I ugly" videos, you're beautiful in your own way, and the internet isn't a place to ask about how you look because people are so cruel about appearances.
In reality, true beauty starts with inner beauty, so if you are beautiful on the inside, then eventually you'll be beautiful on the outside. The women who are the most beautiful now, were the nerds in high school, and the women who are low class, a lot of them were the cheerleader types. So it's not a bad thing to want to be beautiful, you just have to remember, you are no matter what, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
