I found some really concerning statistics! Check them out below, do they bother you too? Why do you think these statistics are so high? These statics are from Dove's Research: The Real Truth About Beauty:
Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful (up from 2% in 2004)
• Only 11% of girls globally are comfortable using the word beautiful to describe themselves
• 72% of girls feel tremendous pressure to be beautiful
• 80% of women agree that every woman has something about her that is beautiful but do not see their own beauty
• More than half (54%) of women globally agree that when it comes to how they look, they are their own worst beauty critic
The last statistic is one I think we can all relate too at some point in our lives. There will always be some feature on our bodies we wish we could change. As a result girls run out to spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery, but the surgery will never fix how you feel about yourself. You have to learn to accept and be happy with the way you were made. Im still learning how to do this. ;)
