Oh! The struggle

Everyday, girls criticize themselves on their looks, appearance, weight, intelligence and many more things that most likely are not even an issue with them at all. Girls are their own worst critiques and more and more girls are having self-esteem issues. Why is this do you ask? Girls feel the need to compare themselves to other girls. This is not okay. Everybody's body is built differently and different people have different genetics. Why do girls feel the need to do this constantly and have their thoughts change about their body? Why do girls lower their self-esteem over something so unimportant. Everybody is different and every girl is beautiful in their own unique way. Girls in today's society are so down on themselves and don't understand that each and every person is different. People are all beautiful or handsome in their own way. Everybody had different things about them that makes them beautiful. I believe that girls just need more confidence.
   I use to have this problem in high school a lot. I would look at other girls with the expensive buckle jeans, and nice shirts and their hair done nicely and I always thought that even though I tried, they always looked better than me. I always looked down at myself and wondered what was wrong with me. Why do these girls not want to be friends with me? Yes, I get my clothes from Platos Closet, a use clothing store, but they are still in good condition, still cute and inexpensive. I curled my hair when I wanted to and dressed presentable almost every day. After I built up my confidence, I started to realize that a lot of people first judge you on your appearance. A person's first look at you could mean "hey she's kinda cute" or it could mean "wow she looks like a b****". Girls tend to judge more than guys do, but why do girls not give other girls the chance? Why do they not talk to them first before judging them on their appearance? I will never understand this, but what I can tell you is that people will have a lot more respect for you if you have confidence in yourself. All a girl needs is a little confidence and everything else in their life will follow.
