The media, Internet, toys, our family and friends. EVERYTHING that surrounds us! Famous people especially. These influences can be both positive and negative. We see millions of ads and pictures everyday showing us what to buy, what is cool and what isn't.We see pictures of them everywhere and we are pressured to look good as celebrities constantly do and when we buy magazines headlined "stars without make-up" we buy it to feel better about ourselves. We need to stop comparing ourselves to them, because they have gone through painful procedures and risky processes to look how they do and sometimes this still doesn't fix their problems.
We, as a modern culture, need to start accepting people and not judge by looks.
