I wish these videos actually made you feel prettier or happier with your looks, but it doesnt, having been looked on as ugly since i was 6 nothing with change it
Society is fucked up.....I hate that when they always put a picture of a "curvy" girl they put a super fat girl.....is not about being SUPER SKINNY OR SUPER FAT is just been healthy..........they think curvy means fat and thats TOTALLY WRONG curvy means u have a healthy body..........(im not trying to be rude) but this is really annoying....I consider myself in the middle im not fat but im just not SO SKINY as a photoshop model...
I wanna be a model but i dont want people to cake makeup on my face or i dont want people to photoshop my to make my skin more perfect i wanna be a model who is natural. Maybe a little makeup here and there and thats it. Cause i know when people look through a magazine they dont see the 'normal person' they see the 'perfect person' and everytime they see that perfect person they feel worse cause they think they dont look at good as them or something.
Honest woman here: even if the media didn't Photoshop advertisements, girls would still have body issues because it's all apart of growing up. We'll all grow up picking at bits and pieces we do and don't like about ourselves. We just have to choose to get over it. If we don't, we may turn into a very messed up society full of ingrown issues. The media will not stop editing their images and impressing everyone with an unrealistic expectation - but we can stop feeling bad about ourselves.
I remember one day I decided to try something knew. So I read a fashion magazine. Then we made fun of the girls, then we got in the topic of how it made us feel. I was the only one who said it sort of made me sad. Then I noticed that I was the only one there that didn't have a belly that was perfect. Or how my nose was funny. And how I was the shortest one there. Thanks dove for making me feel good again!
I HATE THE MEDIA!!! They tell me and my friends that we are ugly girls, but we aren't! We are beautiful! EVERY girl is beautiful! I just have to believe that's true, but that is very hard for me. (sorry if my English is bad)
My sisters 7 years old and shes self concience. Because she thinks shes to fat, and people in her class says she has a mustache. It breaks my heart that shes trying to lose weight when shes only 7. She sees a girl on t.v and says I want to be skinny like her and I say Christiane your beautiful just the way you are, I hope she believes it like I do.
I've never worn make up before, and I'm 20! Sometimes I wish I knew how to wear make up, just because all my friends do, but then it just seems bothersome and silly. Girls and women don't need make up to be pretty, we just need to take care of ourselves and have confidence.
i like how dove made this video to bring the message that beauty isn't everything and that media distorts our perception of beauty, when with this very video they do the exact same thing! you can't tell me that each and everyone one of those little girls don't have airbrushed faces. if they really wanted to help girls, they would show them people in their natural state.
I think that the people hung up on the looks are these people in the "Dove Self-Esteem Fund" They are the ones pumping it into these kids that they are not attractive how many kids that are the age of the children in this clip even care how they look!!! They are just kids...they are forcing them to worry about looks WHAT A JOKE!!!!This fund is horrible!!! Focus their minds on important things and they will not have time to worry about their looks!!!! Let them BE KIDS!!!

the numbers can be 100% correct, but the interpretation of the numbers can be wrong. Just like if people throw out the number of the national debt at $11 trillion. the average person does not comprehend the number and if it was $5 trillion it could still have the same shock affect because people do not know how to interpret the meaning of the numbers.
@GoodSmellingStink that is null and void because the makeup industry doesn't target them therefore their self esteem isn't at risk in this particular arena.
How can anyone doubt that the media pushes insecurities? There are 8 year old girls who hate their bodies and that isn't okay. There are millions of people in the world saying, "Yes, there is something wrong with you and there always will be."
it just clicks at a certain age tht we look ikn the mirror and start to doubt our sleves we base our look on friends around us who we think are prettier or at least more popular the media has nothing to do with it although it doesnt help. it will never change every girl or boy for the rest of their lives will at least hate 1 thing about their body whether its a freckle a bruise or their hair. Sadly this epidemic will never stop.
i hated what i looked like when i was 8. still hated at 10. hated it more at 12. finally i convinced to starve myself at 13 years of age. by 14 i still starved myself and occasionally purged. still the same to do this day. oh what a world this would be if there was 'real beauty' fml.
It's not just that girls or boys think they themselves should be different. They also ask themselves "What am I -supposed- to find attractive in others". Guys might really like some girl, but dare not ask her because of what his friends think of her. If he does, his "friends" may laugh at him, not because they think his choice is stupid, but because they think others would laugh at them for agreeing. Same for girls.
Not to say that is always the case, but it often is and makes it worse..
You know one may think it's mainly girls but the same is happening to boys especially gay guys like myself but many straight guys also. I got bullied for my red hair and was dyein it for years, my friend became anorexic cos he's big.
It does happen to boys too, but boys are culturally taught not to care for their looks because it's a "girl thing", so they're more likely to just forget about their imperfections.
Yeah that's true but still it's on the rise. It's extremely prevalent though amongst gay guys. I'm gay and know many friends who hate themselves and the way they look and try to live up to a false image. So there's a huge problem there. But yeah I know where you're coming from.
oh no no I was sayin that in relation to most guys it is gay guys who are most likely to suffer from self-esteem problems. Before you prejudge me I am not like that I don't go around the place saying I'm gay I'm not like that at all in fact I generally tell most people personal things like that. But I am just sayin from experience. And many gay people are extremely fake just as are many straight people. Thank you for your comment. x
if only the media didnt emphasize " beauty" so much. and well i guess like someone else said, someone could think someone's attractive while another person could think the same person isn't attractive.
i agree with dove, i always feel i am fat when i see the magazines and everyone i know says that I'm not fat i just have problem areas that EVERYONE ELSE HAS.i also think it stems from parents siblings as well who make fun of their 'pudgy' siblings and don't take the time to help them see their own beauty. i have a friend who is bigger than me,she has MORE SELF-ESTEEM THAN I DO! self esteem is crucial to how people lead their lives.
I saw your video. None of the girls in it were fat, they can be freed, and if you tell me you are the shy geeky girl holding the camera I'd be very disappointed in you. And I'd call you fat. I'm serious.
Balance people! It's unhealthy to be overweight and unhealthy to be underweight. I think culture and economic opportunity helps society as a whole to find the balance that individuals need. Example, the current culture in most of the 1st world is overweight is bad, why? Because, over food production and over eating is the problem for most people in these countries. So what does society and economic opportunity do? They tend to focus on weight being a problem. But thats what the culture needs.
There are kids starving in countries all over the world and we're wasting millions trying to get American kids to feel good about themselves? I see Dove's good intentions, but to be honest, they should consider allocating their resources to something more...critical.
well its not exaclty somethin thats not worth a campaign.. people with low self esteem feel like shit all the time because they think fake perfection is natural beauty.. there are thousands of charities that help towards third world countries and its still not solved so dove wouldnt make a massive different really lol
There are kids starving all over the world due to eating disorders. It needs to be addressed and I for one think dove are doing a great job in making a stand. :)
It's easy to say that, because it is definitely apparent that third world countries have many problems. While it is necessary to help these people, it can be just as necessary to help people with certain problems in the country we live in. Dove is doing a hell of a lot more work for others than most companies. I think it's great, personally.
i was thinking pretty much the same thing throughout the video..i mean, why can't kids notice that there are so much more worse things to worry about than themselves being "fat."
i love their advertisement. but i think even without media, i will still feel bad about my body shape. lookign from another perspective, it may be the knowledge that technology can make us change ourselves.
I think that all superficiality breeds from television, magazines, and the internet. But moreso TV. Television is such a household thing for young people and old that they will never turn it off, they will just switch the channel. You have a choice on where to go with the internet. But it's up their too, expecially with sites such as this very one. Magazines are up tehre but not really, not much people read that stuff (not as much as ppl watch tv.)
The media directed at young girls primarily sends two messages: 1) Being beautiful is VERY important. 2) YOU are NOT beautiful. I'm glad Dove is trying to contradict the second message, but I'm not sure it's going to be very effective simply because they are still reinforcing that there *is* a beauty ideal in the media, even if they don't uphold it. I'm not sure they're even bothering to contradict the first message... figures.
im seeing that the way the media etc dictates girl how they must look to be beautifull is a big LIE!
Girl think that they must look this way to be accepted and loved, and we as man believe the lie too, result?...a man will judge a girl by how she looks from the outside!
On behave of all man in the world i want to ask you girls forgiveness...i believed the lie too, but im sorry for that!
treu beauty comes from the heart, from WHO a girl is, not from what she lookes like
people in Britian admit to their low self-esteem...i believe Americans have the lowest self-esteem in the world!! because everyone is trying to match those stars in hollywood who wear tons and tons of makeup and get plastic surgery for every little minor thing!!!
i like the message that dove is trying to send out, and i love the workshops there doing, but i just feel like there contradicting themselves as a beauty indusrty. 17 is doing the same thing with teens. they always have articles about feeling good about yourself, however they are still a magazine that shows standard models as opposed to average looking people i would be able to relate to theis more if it had an ACTUAL overweight child struggling with fitting in as much as i did when i was young.
I think their campaign is amazing and what they're doing is brilliant.
My thighs are kinda bigger than I'd like, but I've learned to say 'feck that!' and realise that it doesn't really matter. Most of it's muscle tbh, so anyone who says 'oooh your legs blah' are gunna get mawashi'd in the head XD... just kidding.
"The pressures to look good start young!..." Indeed. And guess where the answer lies: some kind of consumption. Yes, buy a product or service and you can make it all better!...
The size and proportions of a barbie are unrealisitc. If someone has barbie's figure scaled to size there spine wouldnt be long enough and they'd have to crawl.
Okay, I keep hearing guys say, well what about us? Why aren't they talking about us? LOOK AROUND! When you look at magazines at the checkout, what do you see? Females...girls, women...Flip through the magazines, more. Almost no guys. Advertisements on TV, more women then men, women more scantly clothed then guys in most. Check out "Killing us softly 3" (or 1, 2, and 3 if you can find them... there are some summaries on youtube here)
yh the lighting has to be good and if the lighting is too bright it can swallow your eyes but if you put on too much eyeliner all your features will be swallowed.
so everyone on tv aaaand on stage (i do drama productions) MUST wear makeup.
i dont get why the dont talk about guys, im a guy and i hate the way i look, i think im ugly because girls reject me all the time, but i guess no one cares about what guys go through. everythings going to hell and were all to blame

Not true! As long as you have money, unilever cares about you.
Unattractive? Unilever Axe products promise that supermodels crazed with desire will throw themselves upon you.
Unattractive AND living in a developing country like India? Unilever Fair & Lovely Men Aktiv will not only deliver the hot starlet but a great job too. Who knew your life could be that good :(
Why do you hate the way that you look, hon? Is it because you don't look like the guys on TV or in the media? Of course it affects guys too, because there is also that stupid ideal that they portray in the media. As for girls rejecting you, it might be a.) the girls that you are pursuing are superficial or b.) there's nothing more attractive than confidence in a person. The moment that you begin to love who you are, that's when you'll start noticing a change. x
Well, like they said in this video, "Impossibly perfect images", I think that's true because for example, how can thin people have big breasts while also having slim thighs and narrow waists? this can only be achieved by plastic surgery.
You're right. If Barbie was a human being, she will have to be 6 feet and weight between 90-98, have a 38-inch bust, an 18-inch waist, and 34 inches in waist. Thats not naturally possible. Most of those people featured on those magazine covers are people who problably underwent numerous surgeries and procedures to look the way they appear.
they're actually suppose to, or already have, changed barbies shape so its more human life after a woman wanted to get sugery to look lik her body she died.
Oh! No wonder experts changed Barbie's bodies. No wonder they don't look like they used to be back in the days: Big round breasts but with an extremely thin body. That can't be naturally be possible.
Search out youtube for "Fair and Lovely" if you want to see REAL sexism and racism all wrapped up in one tidy ad. This is the same company!
Yes we all need discussion on how consumer culture tries to mess with our heads - but from a corporation with its eye on the bottom line? Why not sell a more natural product HUH??
And what exactly is the difference between the nerdy awkward bookworm and the self-obsessed teenage barbie? The difference is, 25 yrs later, I'm having the last laugh ;)
Some people here sound as if they think guys have emotional problems.
If guys did then there would be alot of make-up for guys and a billion more cloths. but theres not ^^
Women only buy into all this crap and spend spend spend to make themselves look good, cause they care alot more of how they look than what a guy does.
To Zombiesbum: They care more about how they look because a first thing a guy (generalizing here) notices will be how "hot" or "sexy" she is. They are pressured more into looking good so they can get a good guy or something like that. Plus, women with their beauty is like men with their pride. Weird analogy I suppose, but I'm tired.
British girls have the lowest self esteem in the world? I have never seen a country where more women who should not wear mini-skirts wore them! (And i am not talking about plus sized girl I am talking about women with incredibly ugly legs) though the seemed pretty self confident and happy with their body...
to me, beauty is whats inside, and what you look like from then on is more beautiful then words could describe. i think everyone is beautiful because they are who they are. beauty is NOT how attractive you are...well...thats my opinion....just saying
Hm... whenever I go to denmark (The trip takes more time, than seing the whole country) I always notice something. IT ALL LOOKS THE SAME! Oh, a whindmille. a field. another windmille. another field. A town, just like one we left 5 minutes ago. ifferent from
I guess the size of the country can be a good thing. Wherever you live, you're only 5 min from the nearest city. In Norway we can drive for hours. but our country is way bigger than yours.
hahaha you must think you are so funny. Instead your waking up the idea that woman have fought for for a long time. Girls don't need guys to feel good about themselves, didn't you watch the news thing? idiot
well im SURE a comment like that would raise someone's self-esteem.. i def. think that girls shouldn't realy on guys to feel better about themselvs. for example, i hate it when my friends are depressed because they want a boyfriend... it's like DUDE stop moping and lets go have fun!!!! you are totally right . but i was... trying to make a joke.. excuse me for not being a really funny comedian.
Of course it isn't good such a small percentage of women describe themselves as beautiful, but I think we need to stop kidding ourselves here. This is a marketing ploy. This type of campaign of course will be affective because it gives people an excuse to let themselves go. Sure, young girls shouldn't be wearing makeup or worrying about plastic surgery, but most women use skinny celebs or models being super thin and 'not real' as a crutch to let themselves be at an unhealthy weight.
if you think models are at a healthy weight you're insane.this campaign is to show girls that what they see you tv is all unreal.there isnt a single picture or album photo that hasnt been changed with a computer and we can't all be the same size.thus we are all beautiful in different ways n we shoudlt aim for the sterotypes
I think what people are trying to get out there is that if you exercise and eat healthily, but you still have a little junk in the trunk, that's OK. Because as long as you are healthy, you are beautiful. Some people take unhealthy measures just to look like the models they see in magazines, and they end up unhappy.
yea, if its like waaay to to much it influences your health.. but a certain amount of fat is necessary. i dont like how woman nearly got to look like sticks, if they wanna be a "beautiful" or rather a succsessful model.. curves are feminin and natural.
they belong to woman and should't be starved away, because u are frantic about every single gramm of fat.
everything is relative and the middle-way is commonly the best solution.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah dont get me wrong I love curves...and most of the girls I like have normal weight I just dont think the people I see at walmart who are bigger than the isle and look like the people of the movie Disney's Wall-E should feel good about themselves.
Thats true. But some really dont. There are many out there, who have serious psychological problems.. Their behavior is really very similar to that of those, who suffer from anorexia or bulimia. Just that they handle it [mainly stress] in another way.. Anorexics dont eat when they are sad, they dont eat when they are stressed, they stop eating when they get upset.. And those with a binge-eating disorder do kind of the opposite: ->
they eat when they're feeling down, they eat to make them feel good, they eat when they are stressed, they eat when they feel lonely.. Its a back feed loop (or something like that^^) anyway, so yea, some of them might be "guilty" of being overweight, some really like it, but I guess that most do have some problem, that needs to be taken seriously.. It could have happened in their youth.. Whatever.. They might not even know..

How can anyone doubt that the media pushes insecurities? There are 8 year old girls who hate their bodies and that isn't okay. There are millions of people in the world saying, "Yes, there is something wrong with you and there always will be."

im so over how everyone says blame the media!
it really isnt them
it just clicks at a certain age tht we look ikn the mirror and start to doubt our sleves we base our look on friends around us who we think are prettier or at least more popular the media has nothing to do with it although it doesnt help. it will never change every girl or boy for the rest of their lives will at least hate 1 thing about their body whether its a freckle a bruise or their hair. Sadly this epidemic will never stop.

It's not just that girls or boys think they themselves should be different. They also ask themselves "What am I -supposed- to find attractive in others". Guys might really like some girl, but dare not ask her because of what his friends think of her. If he does, his "friends" may laugh at him, not because they think his choice is stupid, but because they think others would laugh at them for agreeing. Same for girls.
Not to say that is always the case, but it often is and makes it worse..

Exactly. Not only does it create a culture of bulemics and anorexics, but also a culture of people without own opinions, and tastes.

You know one may think it's mainly girls but the same is happening to boys especially gay guys like myself but many straight guys also. I got bullied for my red hair and was dyein it for years, my friend became anorexic cos he's big.
Naddlem 2 years ago
It does happen to boys too, but boys are culturally taught not to care for their looks because it's a "girl thing", so they're more likely to just forget about their imperfections.
coccinelsucrer 2 years ago
Yeah that's true but still it's on the rise. It's extremely prevalent though amongst gay guys. I'm gay and know many friends who hate themselves and the way they look and try to live up to a false image. So there's a huge problem there. But yeah I know where you're coming from.

oh no no I was sayin that in relation to most guys it is gay guys who are most likely to suffer from self-esteem problems. Before you prejudge me I am not like that I don't go around the place saying I'm gay I'm not like that at all in fact I generally tell most people personal things like that. But I am just sayin from experience. And many gay people are extremely fake just as are many straight people. Thank you for your comment. x

Sorry for the long post
i agree with dove, i always feel i am fat when i see the magazines and everyone i know says that I'm not fat i just have problem areas that EVERYONE ELSE HAS.i also think it stems from parents siblings as well who make fun of their 'pudgy' siblings and don't take the time to help them see their own beauty. i have a friend who is bigger than me,she has MORE SELF-ESTEEM THAN I DO! self esteem is crucial to how people lead their lives.

Balance people! It's unhealthy to be overweight and unhealthy to be underweight. I think culture and economic opportunity helps society as a whole to find the balance that individuals need. Example, the current culture in most of the 1st world is overweight is bad, why? Because, over food production and over eating is the problem for most people in these countries. So what does society and economic opportunity do? They tend to focus on weight being a problem. But thats what the culture needs.

It's easy to say that, because it is definitely apparent that third world countries have many problems. While it is necessary to help these people, it can be just as necessary to help people with certain problems in the country we live in. Dove is doing a hell of a lot more work for others than most companies. I think it's great, personally.

I think that all superficiality breeds from television, magazines, and the internet. But moreso TV. Television is such a household thing for young people and old that they will never turn it off, they will just switch the channel. You have a choice on where to go with the internet. But it's up their too, expecially with sites such as this very one. Magazines are up tehre but not really, not much people read that stuff (not as much as ppl watch tv.)

The media directed at young girls primarily sends two messages: 1) Being beautiful is VERY important. 2) YOU are NOT beautiful. I'm glad Dove is trying to contradict the second message, but I'm not sure it's going to be very effective simply because they are still reinforcing that there *is* a beauty ideal in the media, even if they don't uphold it. I'm not sure they're even bothering to contradict the first message... figures.

Why do you hate the way that you look, hon? Is it because you don't look like the guys on TV or in the media? Of course it affects guys too, because there is also that stupid ideal that they portray in the media. As for girls rejecting you, it might be a.) the girls that you are pursuing are superficial or b.) there's nothing more attractive than confidence in a person. The moment that you begin to love who you are, that's when you'll start noticing a change. x

Well, like they said in this video, "Impossibly perfect images", I think that's true because for example, how can thin people have big breasts while also having slim thighs and narrow waists? this can only be achieved by plastic surgery.

You're right. If Barbie was a human being, she will have to be 6 feet and weight between 90-98, have a 38-inch bust, an 18-inch waist, and 34 inches in waist. Thats not naturally possible. Most of those people featured on those magazine covers are people who problably underwent numerous surgeries and procedures to look the way they appear.

Zombiesbum 3 years ago
To Zombiesbum: They care more about how they look because a first thing a guy (generalizing here) notices will be how "hot" or "sexy" she is. They are pressured more into looking good so they can get a good guy or something like that. Plus, women with their beauty is like men with their pride. Weird analogy I suppose, but I'm tired.

Of course it isn't good such a small percentage of women describe themselves as beautiful, but I think we need to stop kidding ourselves here. This is a marketing ploy. This type of campaign of course will be affective because it gives people an excuse to let themselves go. Sure, young girls shouldn't be wearing makeup or worrying about plastic surgery, but most women use skinny celebs or models being super thin and 'not real' as a crutch to let themselves be at an unhealthy weight.

Thats true. But some really dont. There are many out there, who have serious psychological problems.. Their behavior is really very similar to that of those, who suffer from anorexia or bulimia. Just that they handle it [mainly stress] in another way.. Anorexics dont eat when they are sad, they dont eat when they are stressed, they stop eating when they get upset.. And those with a binge-eating disorder do kind of the opposite: ->

they eat when they're feeling down, they eat to make them feel good, they eat when they are stressed, they eat when they feel lonely..

It could have happened in their youth.. Whatever.. They might not even know..
