TOO YOUnG TO BE A MOM!!!!
101jon101 FUCK YOU for the religion thing, that was dumb
good job hating fat people tho
FATTYS SUCK
Peer Pressure which the media perpetuates is a big problem in the way teens see themselves.There should be some ways to change that beleif system & that is the TRUTH ABOUT ONESELF as stated in the holy Scriptures..that we are CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD(Our Creator)unless we beleive the distorted view of the World portrayed in the media of oneself.
Dont people say the same about religion?! FUCKING PWNED RELIGION RIGHT THERE … woot : D
okay so first of all these vids imply that the bad things about you are okay… some maybe that way like small things … but if your overweight and other stuff a like… thats not okay… people are not ment to be fat, OVERweight you need a diet, you do… and then also, skinny and pretty and all that just goes back to mating… its what us guys think as a good person to fuck… bottom line there it is… naturally we think its a good gene …
looks come and go but personality is forever!
let me be the first o write a comment under 400 characters <:3
I am not ugly or fat, i am not the prettiest girl at skl, but all my matesss lovee mee for who i am. The boys are attracted to pretty girls with tits, and thats a fact, but the boys you need are boys who treat you for you are!! Boys at my skl who are popular snigger at the girls and ignore them, they will add you on msn then ignor you, tbh i just ignor them!! Its better to be withh people who love you for who you are than people who like you cos your pretty!!
BULLSHIT. fuck you stupid people. FAT GIRLS STILL GET LOVE. even by HOT GUYS. this is bullshit. you think your fat for a reason. be HEALTHY. my dick is only 6 inches. now thats pressure i’ve had so many girls laugh at me because of that…. you DOVE girls are full of shit. you’ll still get what you want….. this is bullshit. complete bullshit. girls dont need this shit. the MALES do… you can still be fat.. someone will love you…
self centered bitches, that what you are. grow the fuck up.
Yeah these guys made a list of who’s hot…and obviously I wasn’t on that list. This one guy said that this certain girl is hot, but should lose some weight…
Really..like are you kidding me?
It’s not only the media, but also people’s opinions, especially the opposite sex that can hurt us.
I like what Doves trying to do, making people who are perfectly fine as they are feel good about themselves. However, I dont think its okay how some are taking this message. For example, an overweight girl should never think being overweight is something that should be ignored just because people criticize her. This message goes for girls who are perfectly fine the way they are but being overweight (just as being anorexic or bulimic) is NOT fine and is a risk for your life.
yeah. i might be overweight, but everybody is beautiful in different ways. in my school, people insult me about fat and ugly. what todo is just ignore it.
1st insult I ever recieved was in 1st grade and this girl named Jasmine told me I had ugly hair and I believed her. Then before 5th grade I moved out of state and I got chubby and ppl would tell me that I was fat and ugly everyday. At this one school every1 there would make fun of me because I was the only asian. Now I’m in 8th grade feeling like I can’t fit in and the ugliest thing alive and wishing not to be asian. Even though my friends tell me I’m pretty and not fat I can’t believe them.
the pressure society has put on people and young women in general to acheive an unacheivable, perfect appearence is disgusting. it just shows how sick our culture really is.
dont ever let anyone tell you how to view yourself, only you can decide that. your opinion holds the most value and if you think youre beautiful other ppl will too. self confidence beautiful! and belive me i know that it hurts hearing stuff like that come from your parents but in the end, anyone who loves you or doesnt love you b/c of how you look isnt someone you really want in your life.
…my mother calls her fat. She even said to me “Look, you have a friend now, your sister got fat!” I know that this is flawed thinking, but sometimes I think it would just be better if I died because no one really thinks I’m beautiful. Not even my own parents. I feel like I lack friends (and trust me, I’ve reached out so many times) is because of my appearance. People call me self indulgent due to my depression. I guess it’s better to die since no one understands me.
…and say “you were getting fat here.” when there is barely a difference. Sometimes I wish I could trade my knowledge or what intelligence I have for a beautiful body. Maybe people would like me more even if I was stupid, but as long as I have the body, maybe they will be friends with me and I’ll be popular. Even to this day, it’s been 6 years, and my mom still calls me daily, asking “have you lost weight yet” or asking me to slim down. And my sister, who weighs as “average” on the BMI,
When I was “average,” 5′3″ and 125 lbs, my parents never complimented me. It was only after I started to gain weight, they began to say I was fat. “You look like a huge take of oil” or “You’re as big as a hippo.” These kinds of comments came from my mom and dad daily. Because I weight more now, all my mom can say as she looks at older pictures of myself is “I miss it when you looked like this” pointing at a picture of me when I was average. Only to point at a picture of me a year afterwards…
We’re all daughters of god. We’re princesses
I wouldnt say similar..
I think the movies should change their “perfect” person, cause we all know it will not be someone who is fat or “ugly”..Thats where I started feeling that I was ugly because I dont look like them, even though I know about all of this, I stillhave that pressure to look good, its on my mind all day, everyday. I also started to feel bad at school since ppl would look weirdly at me or wouldnt wanna talk to me, until I changed my clothing style. which also ruined my relationship with mt mom. Great.
its a good campaign. However, it irks me when companies take advantage of people. In this case, Dove is getting credit for being on the same side as women, when in fact they are taking advantage of insecurities. A perfectly secure woman would see no reason to buy Dove products after viewing the campaign. I just get annoyed when no one takes into account the intent behind the advertisement. Dove made massive profits off of this.
Yes, exactly. beauty on the inside. which is why this commercial emphasizes
“no one looks for personality, they just say ‘he’s sexy’ she’s sexy’”
to teach people not to judge like that.
and its not just a message to encourage parents to tell their kids that they are beautiful. its a message to kids telling them that what the media says is beautiful doesnt mean that truly is beautiful. its encouraging them to look beyond the “media stereotype of beauty” as you put it.
firstly, the media steriotype of beauty is a reflection of what society wants anyway. The media just exaggerates what is already there. The point i raised was that beauty is a scale, and the majority of people will fall in the middle of that scale. Trying to convince girls that every one of them is beautiful will not work. Self esteem needs to be independent of looks.
That depends on your perception of beauty. What society perceives as beautuful changes with the media. So your perception of beauty is a standard no one can possibly live up to.
That’s not the point. The point is for people to look within and see themselves for who they were made to be, and accept and love themselves thick or thin.
