Meaghan Ramsey: Why thinking your're ugly is bad for you
What is appareance? How this aspect affects to the young teenagers?
When people are very little, like two or three years old, most of them love their self and
they are always looking at a mirror and smiling in front of it.
But when they get older, especially when they are teenagers, they usually don’t like
their self. That happens to a lot of young girls.
The most important problem is that young people are more concentrated on their
appearance than in their others identities aspects, and they sometimes things that this
is one of the most important part of their identity.
Their beauty concepts are base on models that sometimes promote anorexia or they
aren’t “real” because their photos have been manipulated, this affect their too much.
For example, some of young girls’ prefers not to do basic things that are essentials for
the human because they don’t like their appearance, there’re others that don’t go to
school for the same reason and they have low marks because they can only thing
about how they look like.
It also affect to health because they usually practice less sport, don’t eat fruits or
vegetables and they can also have eating disorders.
They also have more risk of depression because they have a low self- stem, and is
easy to influenciated them, that’s why some of them who drinks and smoke, affecting
this to their bodies.
Another important problem is that they usually don’t know how they can separate real
life of online life, they don’t have privacy on their life and is very important for them, for
example, the comments and likes that they recieve on webs like Facebook or Twiteer,
because they thing that if they have more they are more pretty and people like them
more than another who don’t have a lot of posts.
There’re three essentials thing that society can do for help to solve this problem:
The first one is that kids have to be educated for body confidence, helping their to have
self-stem and auto confidence.
The second one is that people have to be more carefully with the pictures and
comments that they do, because this influenced a lot to the teenagers.
At last is very important to work together
In conclusion, for young people, especially for teenagers girls, the appearance is a very
important factor on their lives and a essential thing for their identity, but is important to
teach them that this not the unique important characteristic of their identity and this not
define their self.
For these reasons is important to take care about which pictures are publicated at the
nets, the models that are their inspiration and is also important to educate this aspect,
because in the future is going to help for not have low self- stem and also for don’t
have all the problems that have been mencionated.
