Conformity or The American Dream

This is my first video. I do not expect it to be up to par with many of the excellent talents I have seen on YouTube, but for now this shall suffice.

I really do hope this makes a difference on those who take the time to see it through to the end. We could be so much more... :)

Music: Chopin - Nocturne in G minor. No copyright infringement intended.

Very well done; I loved the choice of music as well (I just played that Chopin nocturne yesterday, interestingly enough!). I am in full agreement with you: the media has distorted the true nature of beauty. I love my wife for her underlying spiritual beauty which will never fade; she looks equally stunning with or without makeup.

:) Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed watching my video, but I'm also very pleased to see that you agree with its content. People CAN make a difference; it's their choice if they keep buying into their lies!

You seem to have given us alot of warnings, but really, how is a girl supposed to find happiness in a world where they are judged for their looks and their congeniality? But yes, I have found the secret to life. And this is it:

1. Find a hobby or interest that you like, and stick to it. For me, I love music and video games.

2. Be strong and tell people who criticize you for being yourself to go fuck off!

Btw, I'm not always so bitchy. Just that stupid video by Michelle provoked me-.-

[PinkLittleCherry]

XD Lol that's okay, be as bitchy as you want. I agree with you, it's difficult to stand up to peer pressure. However, as you said, you simply don't need to give a shit about those people who put you down. If more and more people realize this, I'm sure someday things will change!

Thank you.

[PinkLittleCherry]

You're welcome :)

I'm a teenager myself, and the daily "beauty"-pressure is massive. You have to wear the coolest clothes. You have to put on lots of make up. You have to look perfect. Thanks for making this video, great work. :)

How I agree... Women must understand that they are responsible for the pressure they put on themselves. Conformity is an individual choice, and the pressure forced on every girl must come to an end.

However, girls must also understand that they are not REALLY forced to surrender to peer pressure. They are intrinsically free.

To despise natural beauty and to adore plastic beauty is absurd.

And me, I'm glade to read with text and to notice, there is still Men, who has common sense and who can like a woman for what (who) she is and not for what she look.

Translation:

la lecture de otre commentaire me fait plaisir. Je me réjouit qu'il y ait des hommes qui ait conservé du bon sens et qui sont capables d'aimer une femme pour ce (qui) elle est plus que pour ce qu'elle parait.

You can enjoy a little vanity as you do it too, but anyone like Michelle who sells a product and a dream - is just selling you a product.

You gotta reach and do it on your own, anyone that buys into Michelle's BS is just taking her dream and making it their own. For me, give me a science book and I'll be satisfied because Mother Nature is the Author of beauty, not Michelle's sponsors.

I absolutely loved your video! Such a powerful message! Michelle's videos are poison to vulnerable and desperate minds. You are an inspiration!!
