Feeling low with all the drama that society gives you? Bowed down with pressures you are forced under? This is the ultimate pep talk you need to get through today!
“You’re black” “you’re fat” “You’re too skinny” “you’re too tall ” “you’re ugly” “you’re …”
Honey! You’re beautiful. Just the way you are. Let them say, whatever they want to. Don’t give them the power to decide, what you are, who you are. The power lies in your hands. Before the society, you need to accept yourself, just the way you are. You need to love yourself, before you expect someone else to do that. I know you are being triggered at every social media and every social gathering. I know there are people who look down on you and make you feel miserable. But don’t let them win. It’s quite easy to judge, to keep names, to put someone down. If anything that is ugly, it’s their thinking not you. You don’t need anyone else’s opinion or a certificate that says “you’re eligible ,you’re beautiful”.
No! You are beautiful. Okay?
I know you have been depressed over these comments you hear. I know you tried to change yourself and fit yourself in the frame of “beautiful” stated by the society. I know you cried because it was tough to face those weird stares and suggestions on trying to be “beautiful”.
“Why don’t you try this cream?” , “Why don’t you try this diet plan ?” ,”Why don’t you apply this?”
You might have felt like running away from every one and every question that comes your way. That’s the reason you’ve stopped attending these social gatherings and events cause you are tired of this shit. I know it gets tough.
But you know what? You are a warrior. A beautiful human being. You need to accept yourself, love yourself, pamper yourself and take care of yourself. Don’t let these stupid people ruin your happiness. You are beautiful just the way you are. If you are happy in your own skin, don’t let anyone else’s opinion matter.
Whatever you do,do it for yourself. For your own satisfaction. Not because the society wants you to be that way, but because you want to.
Be Confident. Accept Yourself. Love Yourself. You’re beautiful. Just The Way You Are.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
