"

I__ fifteen and I feel like girl my age are under a lot of pressure that boys are not under. I know I am smart, I know I am kind and funny, and I know that everyone around me keeps telling me that I can be whatever I want to be. I know all this but I just don__ feel that way. I always feel like if I don__ look a certain way, if boys don__ think I__ __exy_ or __ot_ then I__e failed and it doesn__ even matter if I am a doctor or writer, I__l still feel like nothing. I hate that I feel like that because it makes me seem shallow, but I know all of my friends feel like that, and even my little sister. I feel like successful women are only considered a success if they are successful AND hot, and I worry constantly that I won__ be. What if my boobs don__ grow, what if I don__ have the perfect body, what if my hips don__ widen and give me a little waist, if none of that happens I feel like what__ the point of doing anything because I__l just be the __at ugly girl_ regardless of whether I do become a doctor or not.I wish people would think about what pressure they are putting on everyone, not just teenage girls, but even older people _ I watch my mum tear herself apart every day because her boobs are sagging and her skin is wrinkling, she feels like she is ugly even though she is amazing, but then I feel like I can__ judge because I do the same to myself. I wish the people who had real power and control the images and messages we get fed all day actually thought about what they did for once.I know the girls on page 3 are probably starving themselves. I know the girls in adverts are airbrushed. I know beauty is on the inside. But I still feel like I__ not good enough.
