Today’s society has created a ‘’standard’’ of beauty that often lets people down, especially girls, who suffer from low self-esteem, anorexia, eating disorder, just to achieve this ‘’beauty standard’’.
Why do people do that? Why does society define what is beautiful and what is ugly? These problems with the pattern start when we are still children. If the child is chubby, has allergies, atopic dermatitis that causes spots on the skin, if the child suffers because the hair is curly and not straight, why are children already taught to know what is beautiful and what is ugly based on the standard of beauty?
People started to do aesthetic procedures, change their hair, buy slimming products without knowing if the body will react well with this product, diet, light and zero foods, pills, gym equipment and others. Everywhere we look we can see the influence to achieve a perfect body, we have always heard that to be accepted into society one must be thin, wear a mannequin 36, but do we need to be thin to be beautiful, to be free?
Women charge themselves a lot to achieve the standard of beauty imposed by the media and that has hurt them, not only the body and health but also the psychological. The media should encourage people to take care of their health and not put them at risk, people increasingly seek to achieve an unattainable standard of beauty, but each person has a unique beauty, we are all different and we must be accepted the way we are, growing old is something that cannot be avoided but we must live happily, be happy with your body and not to please others, if people want to change their hair, lose weight, etc. to do it for them and not for the standard of beauty, always respecting their limits and their health.
