Why is self appearance so important to girls. Are we trying to change our bodies and perfect ourselves because it's what we really want or is it to please others and stop their ridicule. I know personally me and my friends want to go on a diet and want to lose weight but, honestly it is just for our satisfaction. We all have relationships and don't need to impress anybody we just want it for ourselves so that we make us feel better. But I do know that most girls do it just because people call them names and make comments on their weight and even though it may have never occurred to them or crossed their minds that they are "Fat" they all of a sudden believe it. It is sad really that a person can be affected so much by others and most times it is not within their control. The easy things to say would be to just simply ignore them and don't pay them any attention, but it is so not that easy I am a victim of it myself. My sister was always the thinner one and was always being compared not intentionally and it hurt so much. They would always say that she could be a model and I was just cute with my fat face. So subconsciously I began to self destructively lose weight. People can really be victims of this and i just feel bad.
