qvw said: it’s a cynical view but as long as people are people they will exist because theres either the natural look being praised or the beauty industry look. one of them is always looked down upon by society? it sucks but i think we need to educate kids -- yeah its such a catch 22 lol and i agree that it all starts w education for every issue... i hope one day we can move in a direction where women don't have to look good to survive but like... just typing that now i know it's pretty much impossible.

qvw said: beauty standards have been ruining my life and killing my self esteem since i was 8 years old. but now wearing my makeup and trying to look pretty are the only things that keep my mental health so!! i dont think i can ever change :/ -- yes v valid point... i always wanna be like, "abolish beauty standards!" but thats wayy easier said than done and in fact may b impossible so conforming to them is p much all we can do to cope at times..
