http://acne.about.com/u/ua/teensacne/WorstPartOfTeenAcne.htm

Teen acne is very stressful. having to deal with pimples is hard. Some kids (like myself) are very insecure because of acne. they feel as if they are ugly. (I get this from personal experiences) Sometimes it leads into lack of self-confidence. Or maybe, if you have self-confidence and it is lowered because you have acne. (Readers Respond: The Worst Thing About Having Teen Acne Is..., 2012) Sometimes people (particularly teens) are teased because they have acne. Our society judges people on what they look like and no their personality. So what if someone has acne? What? Suddenly you don't like a person because they have acne. Usually the bullies are insecure themselves and pick on people because of their acne, weight, etc. (Readers Respond: The Worst Thing About Having Teen Acne Is..., 2012)

Insecure. What does it mean to be insecure, because everyone else has a different definition for it? It means to fear, have doubts, and ect (Random House Dictionary, 2012 ) Insecurity is usually related to someone who doesn't have self-confidence. But why are people so insecure ? Why don’t people feel good enough? Simply because of society and celebrities.Why should females have to be skinny to be considered beautiful? For example, no one should have to look anorexic to be beautiful, even Vogue magazine agrees. Vogue has banned too skinny models from being in their magazines because young girls look at their magazines and figure in order to be beautiful they have to look like the girls in the magazine (Newser, 2012), yet why are people insecure?  This is also cause by having a low self-esteem. Self- esteem is the degree to which one values oneself. (Roger Elliott) Some people feel like they don’t belong because they do not look like the latest celebrities and what society expects them to be. This also leads to the lacking of self confidence- Assuredness and self reliance.(Roger Elliott) Some people are bullied which makes them feel like their self image is not good enough for anyone. self  image -  One’s impression of oneself, unconscious. (Roger Elliott)

            There is a beauty, a slimming and a cosmetic industry that relies on women feeling insecure about who they are. Images are airbrushed within a small margin of recognition; 13 - 15 year old children are used to model clothes that women in their 30's and 40's will buy. We all have a choice, in what we choose to believe, If you are ready to take control over your own self image, not having it manipulated to suit some fashion designers pocket, or some cosmetic surgeons bank balance then read on.

Being the "fat kid" just got worse. Overweight children who get teased about the extra pudge become more dissatisfied with their bodies, a new study finds.

The result: These kids may be even less likely to pick up a sport or break a sweat in gym class. "There is some research that suggests that, for some kids, weight-related teasing is associated with lower levels of vigorous physical activity," said study researcher Timothy D. Nelson of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, adding that the reluctance to exercise may be due to fear of being made fun of during activities.(Jeanna Bryner, Overweight Kids' Body Image Takes Pounding From Bullies, 2012)

Fashion and Style

Fashion and style, why do people like going to a school with uniforms? Sometimes, in my eyes i feel like people like going to a school with uniforms because they don't want people to make fun of what they wear. Sometimes students are bullied and tortured because of their outfits, but when you wear uniforms people don't care or even have a reasons to judge what you wear. so it makes people feel better and have nothing to worry about. sometimes when a kid doesn't feel comfortable with what they are wear, it usually means that dont have much self confidence ( an insecurity).
for example:
Aryana McPike, a sixth-grader from Springfield, Ill., has a closet full of designer clothes from Dolce & Gabbana, Juicy Couture, True Religion and Seven For All Mankind. But her wardrobe, was carefully selected by a fashion-conscious mother, hasn't won her friends at school.Fashion Bullies Attack -- In Middle School
Kids in her class recently instructed her that she was wearing the wrong brands. She should wear Apple Bottoms jeans by the rapper Nelly, they told her, and designer sneakers, such as Air Force 1 by Nike. She came home complaining to her mother that "all the girls want to know if I will ever come to school without being so dressed up."
