Advice: Love Your Body

Dear "Life as a Teenager" Viewers, 

It is officially Monday which means a fresh start to a good week. Today is usually a story day, but I woke up this morning feeling the need to write something else. 

As teenagers in our society the image of our bodies is something we hold to a high importance of. Often times, we base these images off other people rather than how we feel. I think its important that we recognize that everybody is different and beautiful in its own way. As someone who has struggled to see the beauty in my body and has only seen the flaws, I know what its like to compare and hate. But I am here to tell you not to do as I did. You are worth so much more than that little voice in your head telling you that you need to look better. We are all created to be unique and different than one another and that is what our power is. So, next time you look at yourself in the mirror, don't hate. Smile. Tell yourself you look beautiful, cause you are!

Until next time, 

Viola Black
