Self-love is one of the hardest achievements these days, especially for the younger generations. With constant access to the world and everyone around you, it’s so much easier to see all the models and the high-end things that celebrities have that put a lot of pressure on people. Just in high school, I felt pressured to have the same “Lily Pulitzer” things that the other girls in my class had, even if they were super expensive. I wanted to have the same nice purses, shoes, and clothes as girls around me. Maybe I would have been cooler if I had them (not true). The hardest part for most girls and boys, is seeing all the celebrities and models online or on television. America especially has one of the highest eating disorder rates among females and suicide rates among males. Just last week as the Victoria Secret fashion show ended, I felt an immediate sadness wishing I could be as skinny and beautiful and desired as those girls on stage. These girls work very hard to get where they are which anyone can successfully do, but not all companies are like this. Many use photo-shop for advertisements and set unrealistic standards.
