Beauty
Perceptions of Beauty
By Kiara W.
One of the biggest problems in today's society is image; if you look at
magazines and billboards you're met with the image of perfect, size 0,
flawless skinned models.
What a lot of girls don't know is those 'perfect' models are more
often than not photo shopped. Here's a link to watch one of the photo
shopping processes if you're interested.

I remember watching that video in a Bible study and I was shocked; I
had always wondered how they had managed to look perfect, and would often
wish to be like them. And I was probably not the worst of them out
there, due to my up-bringing I'm not as exposed to the magazines and
stuff.
The products that they put out on the shelves make it even worse:
whitening strips; breast growth pills (yes, they really have those);
pills to get rid of fat...the list goes on and on. It's horrible, the Bible teaches that God made us in his image so wouldn't changing our
bodies by pills and surgery insult Him? That's basically saying 'You
didn't make me good enough so I'm going to alter myself'!
And I'm not saying I haven't had my struggles, because believe me, I
have. But if society started focusing on the real women of our country,
girls would have better role models.
