There's this website I go on that has quotes, and cute pictures that I like to save to my computer. It also has collections of picture that you could choose from, such as: love, funny, sayings. There was one collection, though, that kind of got me thinking and rubbed me the wrong way: the collection on Beauty. I opened it up hoping to find maybe some beautiful photography shots, or something that I actually associate with the word "beauty". But I opened the collection up only to find every single picture in one way or another of a naked girl, or of naked or clothed girls in compromising positions. Scrolling through the pages I thought I'd find a decent picture that didn't match the countless others I had already seen, but to no avail.
It just troubled me, because I didn't know when beauty became associated with pictures like that or when girls though they had to take those kinds of picture to be considered beautiful. With the way the world is today, they make girls feel like they have to go above and beyond to be seen as attractive or beautiful, and that's just something I don't agree with. Just be yourself, and your personality will make you beautiful or ugly, and have people make the right kind of judgments about you as a person.
