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.)

Damn It's funny that UK girls are more insecure than American girls.

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.

I agree. Makeup and beauty doesn't make a person. You can't put makeup over a bad attitude or a horrible personality.

I don't fully get this "self esteem" thing, I just think Dove is just advertising to get younger girls to buy their products!

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!!!
