Imagine a world
…where every girl grows up with the self-esteem she needs to reach her full potential.
…where every woman enjoys feeling confident in her own beauty.
…where we all help to build self-esteem in the people we love most.
~Dove~
I was neither the prettiest nor the most popular girl in school. In fact, I really liked academics, like AP English and AP Calculus, which didn’t score me any popularity points. And like most tweens and teens, I struggled with self-esteem.
I really like Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty where diversity is celebrated and the images of women are realistic. Dove recently launched a new Movement For Self-Esteem, inviting women to help create a world where beauty is a source of confidence rather than anxiety. Dove is committed to building positive self-esteem and seeks to inspire women of all ages to reach their full potential by caring for themselves and each other.
So what can you do?
Send a word of encouragement to a girl in your life
Support self-esteem education in your town
Serve as a mentor to a girl in your life
Share your inspiring message of what you wish you’d known at 13
Do you know what I wish I had known at 13? I wish I would not have spent so much time worrying about what other people thought of me. I wish I would have looked beyond appearances to the depth of each person I encountered. I wish I would have embraced my uniqueness rather than trying to look and act like everyone else.
