You know pretty sad. The fact that a lot of teenagers and kids loved themselves at the beginning. They would look in the mirror and think they are gorgeous and love their hair. But as they grew up some of our parents started criticizing us. Why do we hate ourselves?
I remember looking in the mirror when I was a child and loving my hair so much, I thought it was so soft and amazing. I would look in the mirror and love my skin, love the shape of my body.
That changed. Because my parents have told me my hair is ugly so go change it, we need to go to hairdresser and to go get it fixed. Sure, maybe my friends have told me that I look fine and it’s looks really nice but this is coming from my parents. Parents do this to so many kids and teens and not realizing the affect.
I used to look in the mirror at my body and be proud with what I had. I wasn’t skinny… but I wasn’t super fat. I was only three pounds over weight. Then they pointed out a single old stretch mark that was so old that you can barely see it. But they could see it. Sure I was eating properly now doing more exercise but all of a sudden I felt so bad and ugly. And I know a lot can relate.
As parents say, sometimes you need to know when to shut your mouth. But when are they gonna learn how to shut theirs?
