The mirror shone before me, highlighting my every flaw. My tears run even when it's gone, and I can't help but turn away. They say that 77% girls think their ugly? Well there's no one there to tell some of us aren't. Our families do but there supposed to say it. You see the girls who are told they are beautiful, well is beauty really orange skin and tight clothes? Girls that are fake? What about me? I'm not fake, yeah I wear make up, but not a lot. My hair hasn't been killed by products, and I don't have designer clothes. What does it make me? Ugly?

Okay...so a lot of you see my picture. My gosh I don't even know why I put it up there. I do sometimes feel insecure about myself.

Fat
My fat defines me. I feel like it eats away at me, yet grows on me. I feel trapped. Insecure. When I'm with my friends, I feel like an elephant trying to dance with butterflies.

I wish I was liked, 'stead of shunned like a disease. I wish I wasn't controlled, and could do as I please. I wish I was the best, and everyone looked up to me.

That's Just Me
I'm an ordinary girl living an ordinary life . Sometimes I wonder why famous people don't like to be near paparazzi s , and why I do. Some times I don't even know why I'm on this planet.

Cruel Society.
Always feeling fat, But always looking thin, Just glancing at that cookie, Could be regarded as a sin. Going up one dress size, And suddenly; a fight, Even one inch bigger, And it's a grotesque sight.

Day begins, Just like any other, I'm a young girl, Experimenting with style, Day moves on, And I'm oblivious, As passing rumours, Reach the surface.

Well said. I never had the pressure the way you do today when I was a teenager. I dread my daughter growing up. What we see in magazines or tv is not real beauty. ππππ
Dame Judi Dench is one of my all-time top benchmarks. She's at an age where so many celebs look like twisted, knifed-up 'younger' versions of their alien selves, and yet she is so graceful, so real. I don't let all the 'Towies' and Only W I Essex' into my life, it's all so..... Blaaaaaah!!! You look really beautiful in your picture, and that's an honest stranger's response πβΊβ¨πβ¨
(Ps. I am originally an Essex girl and I've never followed fashion - be proud to be different! It can be hard, it can sometimes be a little lonely, but you can bet that those around you will be good people, not just hanging around with you because you 'fit in' with their idea of 'cool') cx
@eddie12309 thank you, teenage girls feel a lot of pressure to be attractive and I never feel the older generations understand. I hope by the time your daughter is my age opinions and society have changed :)
@MrsS yeah towie and made in Chelsea are ridiculous, they twist people's opinions. Thank you, although I must say I do t feel beautiful :) haha I am a Solihull girl and so many of my friends have more money so I can never afford the things my friends can (:
@AlexJessop97 Glad to hear it, you should feel that way π There are always people better off though - know that feeling well too! ππ
