The society we live in pressures a lot of the our young people to look, act, and dress a certain way. Unfortunately, almost all of us get this feeling this way at one point in our lives. I never thought that I would be the affected by the society but it hit me. I started to feel very self-conscious last year and I began to be very concerned with my weight. It was after I started to get in tune with the media that I became this way. Unfortunately, I still feel that way sometimes and it gets hard. I find myself comparing who I am and how I look to everyone around me. It is not a good feeling at all and I realize that it is all a mental thing. I have allowed everyone around me to dictate who I am and I hate how it hit me. But over the past year I have been testing myself and trying my best to see my worth. I now realize that I am worth so much more than these people in the media make me feel like i am. I pray that all those who are negatively affected by the media realize their worth one day, and see that they are the only ones who can determine who they want to be see as.
