Hi my name is anne and I'm going to talk
- 00:03 - 00:07
about how important it is for our generation to consider
- 00:08 - 00:10
self love and acceptance as a priority.
- 00:12 - 00:15
Well for starters women in the past and in the
- 00:15 - 00:18
present have always been obligated to look a certain way
- 00:19 - 00:22
to have a certain body phase or image ideal the
- 00:23 - 00:25
beauty standards that are imposed by society.
- 00:26 - 00:29
But nowadays for teens like me it's hard not to
- 00:30 - 00:35
not try to achieve the impossible and unrealistic standards because
- 00:36 - 00:40
all the platforms filled with unrealistic versions of people comparing
- 00:42 - 00:45
myself or ourselves to these people can lead to having
- 00:45 - 00:49
a negative and not really pretty view of ourselves in
- 00:49 - 00:53
the mirror can lead to unhealthy habits like cutting up
- 00:53 - 00:58
foods we love and enjoy or trying to look and
- 00:58 - 01:01
having a bad time trying to look a certain weight
- 01:02 - 01:04
just because we are obligated to it.
- 01:05 - 01:11
They'll loving yourself journey, it's hard and not always easy
- 01:11 - 01:15
and most of the time not easy journey that is
- 01:15 - 01:17
not something you can just do.
- 01:17 - 01:19
You have to have in your mind that is a
- 01:20 - 01:20
daily task.
- 01:21 - 01:25
You need to think yourself that you deserve happiness, you
- 01:25 - 01:28
deserve food, you deserve a lot because even if you
- 01:29 - 01:32
don't look a certain way that does not mean you
- 01:33 - 01:34
you are not worthy of it.
- 01:35 - 01:39
Sometimes you can be unable to think of yourself as
- 01:39 - 01:43
worthy when you wake up and you are not feeling
- 01:43 - 01:46
like you love your body, you love your braces, stretch
- 01:47 - 01:51
marks, acne hair and then you go on social media
- 01:51 - 01:56
and see all these people with this unrealistic and even
- 01:57 - 02:00
if they are realistic they're not realistic to you So
- 02:00 - 02:03
you see all these people with the things you wish
- 02:03 - 02:09
you have and you feel bad about yourself obviously but
- 02:09 - 02:12
just the idea that to be worthy of something and
- 02:13 - 02:16
to be accepted to society, you have to sacrifice things
- 02:17 - 02:20
like foods you love or things you enjoy to do
- 02:21 - 02:25
just to achieve a certain way that it isn't always
- 02:25 - 02:28
going to be the same, it's just not worth it.
- 02:30 - 02:34
Society has always still little girls, big girls women in
- 02:34 - 02:38
general that not loving themselves is being humble but how
- 02:39 - 02:40
is not loving yourself being humble.
- 02:41 - 02:45
The only thing you're being is naive because how am
- 02:45 - 02:48
I being a productive member of my family of my
- 02:48 - 02:51
society when all I can think about is how I
- 02:51 - 02:54
don't look this way, how I'm not waiting this, how
- 02:55 - 02:58
my hair isn't looking this certain way and that is
- 02:59 - 03:02
not being humble, humble is care for other people.

selfish or is not being self centered, it's just knowing
- 03:10 - 03:12
that you are worth it of the things you deserve,
- 03:14 - 03:17
loving yourself is being open to the possibility that maybe
- 03:18 - 03:22
maybe these beauty standards have been imposed by people who
- 03:22 - 03:24
are not trying to achieve them.

Like men like people who do not think of your
- 03:28 - 03:32
mental and physical well being and you have to do

it because opening yourself to the possibility that not everything
