Beauty Is Only Skin Deep　　

Written by Maria R. Chi

　　As girls go through puberty, they may sometimes feel a bit awkward. Growing takes time. It may take a few years to develop into a woman’s body. It is important for young girls to remember that our bodies come in all different shapes and sizes! Some girls will have small breasts and some will have large breasts. Some girls will be thin and some girls will gain weight. Some girls may have oily skin and some girls may have very dry skin. However, all girls will grow up to have a unique and individual body shape.

　　Pop culture (television, movies, magazines, etc) may tell you that only one body shape is beautiful. Most of the TV actresses and fashion models are very thin and tall. They are considered beautiful. Some girls will go on a diet in order to become very thin because they want to be like a TV actress or model. It is important to remember that this is only beauty on the outside. True beauty comes from the inside; from your character and personality. Would you rather be beautiful on the outside or on the inside?

 
 
 
 
诠释美丽-魅力来自性格和品质

　　当女孩们经历青春期时，她们有时可能会感到有些尴尬。成长是需要时间的，可能需要几年她们才能在生理上成长为真正的女人。年轻的女孩们一定要记住每个人的身材高矮胖瘦各有不同。她们中的一些人长大后胸部会变得很大而另一些人却不会；有些人会很瘦有些人则会变胖；有些女孩的皮肤是油性的有些则是干性的。然而，所有的女孩都会长大并拥有她与众不同的身材。

　　通俗文化(如电视、电影和杂志等)可能会告诉你只有一种身材是美的。大多数女演员和时装模特都又高又瘦，人们认为这样很好看。有些女孩为了想让自己拥有那种身材就会节食减肥。但是你要记住那只是外在的美。真正的美来自内心，来自你的性格和品质。你更愿意拥有外在美还是内在美呢？
