- [Voiceover] Are we ready?
- I think girls probably experience it
fresh out the womb.
- Can't escape it. Like, you're born into it.
- I think you always know, even when you're little
that pretty and not pretty are two things.
- The way that we talk to young girls as adults
always involves looks.
- Girls spend most of our adulthood
trying to get over the fact that
when we were young, all that we were told to be was pretty.
- Oh God, I think it's,
I think the pressure of pretty is coming
from so many different places.
It's media. Media affects men.
Media affects women. I think it's a cycle.
- A lot of my experiences about being pretty
have to do with boys and whether or not
they thought I looked nice.
- It can really like mess up you at first.
You be like, "Well, what? Why am I not good enough?
"Why am I not pretty enough? Why am I not cute enough?"
- I needed validation from a guy
or a good looking guy to feel that way.
- Yes, I definitely think there is.
It would be nice if they were all wrapped up
in the same thing, but I think beauty
is all over you.
- It's something that comes from the inside out.
It's a combination of who I am
and what I bring to the table.
- Beautiful is something that can't be taken away from you.
I feel the most beautiful when I'm using my mind
and when I'm with my friends.
- Being around people who appreciate me
for every ounce of what I am makes me feel beautiful.
- I feel beautiful when I'm happy.
- Being able to say that like,
at the end of the day, I still don't care
what anyone thinks.
I am who I am and I love that about me.
- I feel you, girls. It's not easy.
- Everyone, even the people you think are super pretty,
has felt that way before and you will feel more pretty
and more beautiful if you focus on the things
that make you feel happy and beautiful.
- Try and find your own inner beauty.
- Find things that make you feel good about yourself.
- Surround yourself with people who think you're beautiful,
who think everything about you is actually beautiful,
like the real you.
- Be a person that you want to be and I think
that will make you happy and pretty
won't matter anymore.
