Society has created its own standards of what is beautiful and what is ugly. The pressure to be beautiful can be seen all over the media, school classrooms, and even at the work place. Whether through surgery or commercial products, people are willing to sacrifice their identities in order to transform themselves into something they are not. This has become a major problem. Low self-esteem can be caused by the pressure to look or act in a certain way: society’s standards of perfect. Around every corner, from celebrities to loved ones, people are demanded to be something that they are not – leading to a low self-worth, distorted views, and a lack of confidence. I have heard parents call their children “fat” and even force them on diets. My friend has told me stories of how her boss makes her go tanning to be more beautiful. Everyone has insecurities, but sometimes a lack of self-worth or self-esteem can be a large problem.
