Why Don't ii Look like The Girls In The Magazine???

What are you on about? I know it’s hard during your teenage years, but you are just trying to bow to peer pressure to have a boyfriend, to have kissed, etc to be able to feel like you fit in. You’re so young, and I know kids are dating when they are younger now, but you don’t have to be a sheep in a flock. You can be different . You are different - in a unique way. And that makes you beautiful. You have your own principles and you’re determined to wait for the right guy to have a memorable first date and first kiss with. Heck, I didn’t have my first kiss until I was around 19 or 20 years old.

As for girls in magazines… first of all their photos are highly manipulated to make them look prettier and thinner. They are fake off the bat. Even if they manage to get their faces on magazines, it doesn’t mean that they are pretty to everyone. Everyone has different tastes. They could only be ‘commercial’ pretty. And let’s not even begin with the amount of make-up they use. Don’t think that just because they are going for the ‘natural’ look that they aren’t using make-up. Make-up is always involved - lots of it. I know this because I worked in the advertising industry.

I can tell you from personal experience that real normal people can be (and are) prettier than those girls in magazines. Quite often girls in magazines lead very privileged lives and they just pay their way into getting into magazines. That doesn’t sound very special to me at all.

Lastly, you don’t need a boyfriend to make yourself happy. Enjoy single life while you’re single! When you have a boyfriend, every decision you make will have to include his feelings. A relationship is hard work and a real responsibility. It’s not all about roses and kisses, it’s about trust, loyalty and respect through communication. Sounds easy, but it’s not. It takes maturity for a real relationship to work, that’s why a lot of high school ‘relationships’ just fade or fall out badly. Also for some unlucky girls, they might get stuck in an abusive relationship, or a boyfriend who just uses them for sex or money.

It is extremely rare that you’ll find Mr.Right in the first guy you date, even though you might feel that he is ‘the one’ at the time. Most of the time, you have to be patient, and forget about what other people think. You’ll get what you’re finding for when the time is right. For now you just have to love yourself and be comfortable with yourself and who you are. A confident girl is an attractive girl.
