yes definitly. you are being pressured everyday. with friends and family. you are being pressured to be skinny pretty and popular. it sucks to have to live like this. cause girls have so much self cofidence info.

i do feel the pressure to be perfect like you have to be skinny, pretty, and popular. to many girls have so many self cofidence issues. some girls will go to any thing to be perfect.

Yes, I do. It just seems like you have to be skinny, and pretty to fit in, and some people just cant be. I like Selena and Demi cuz they make you feel like you dont need to be.

No, I dont, because I listen to what Demi and Selena say. I always read what they say because usually they make you feel like you dont need to be. So when I feel like that, I think of them because I wont feel that way anymore. And Taylor and Joeslyn are the same people I can tell.

Kristen: Yes, because the popular people make you feel like a fat loser. Thats why I love Miley, because she seems normal.
Kayla: No, I dont, because when I feel that way I act them out with Bratz dolls and I feel better.
Sydney: Yeah, feeling like you need to be perfect is such a girl thing. We all relate in that way!
Gretchen: Sometimes. When Im surrounded by a crowd I wonder about the way I look, but when Im just with my BFFs Im fine with the way I look.

Erin: Nope, because even though I have zits, I have good posture, and that takes attention away from the acne. And me and my friend Angela keep a slam book that we share with each other.

Angela: No, I dont because I write in a diary. And Erin and I keep a slam book to share with each other.

I feel Presser all the time because they're girls that act popular at my school.

no but i am olny 9 sooooooooooooooo who really cares? not me!

I think that everyone is presured to be perfect at some time. But if you think about it, nobody is perfect. We all have our flaws. Weather it's our attitude, our looks, or the way we dress, we all have flaws. So no matter what you do, no matter who you are, you will have those flaws. But the people that are almost flawless are the people that admit to having flaws. So, admit that you have flaws. I think that sometimes it the best thing you can do. Next time someone that thinks that they can tear you down tell them, "Look, I'm human, and I have flaws. I understand that. But what makes me flawless is that I admit to having flaws, and admit that I'm not perfect." It will confuse them, and make you feel better. Good luck. Remember, you are flawless.

Yes, alot.my problem is worse because i just moved to PUERTO RICO from california were all my best friends are. there are alot of skinny girls at my scool and it makes me feel pressured to b skinny to. but i learned this quote that goes "dont worry about wat ur body looks like but wat it can DO.

Yes I do i hate that my ex is always trying to get me to do thinngs with him but i have a boy friend and he just cant take that i have someone better then him i just need help from all my friends and that is helping but not everyone needs to be in it

no, why care? live for you and not for others. its your life do with it wat u wish. if u wanna be someone who puts people down cause ur insecure go ahead but it will end up against u. and if u wanna be someone who thinks so what?? thats probably the better choice. think wow u think i dress ugly or wow u think im fat etc.. like um thanks for ur opinion glad im not ur friend!! ohh and when ur friends with those kind of ppl u feel pressured to be accepted by them.. AHA wow this is cheesy ;) but people who can put most pressure on u sumtimes is ur family... just remember one thing YOUR FABULOUS!!! ahaaa cheesy!! :P

yeah, i do. my sister is rilly popular, super skinny and she's favored by my parents. my parents are orcing me to get a job and i turned 15 2 months ago and still trying to get used to school. my sister got her job when she was 15 for 5 months and she didnt need to worry about school or anything, the only thing she needed to do was tell her friends that she couldn't hang out on certain days. also everyone in my school is super skinny and im the only one who isn't so i feel lie im being pressured to be rilly skinny, and i have hearing and speech problems and im one of the very few (like 5 or 6) people on my school that have hearing problems. i'm the only one who has speech problems and i feel like everyone is pushing me to be like them. i just want to scream out and say "i'm not like you!! i know im different but you can't change me!!" but then when i get a chance to be alone and think of what i did, i realize that i'm never going to be like them. and sometimes my sister and parents yell at me and they say "just TRY to be normal like everyone else" so yeah i do feel ike im being pressuered to be normal.

Yep. All the time. Theres always a pressure build up about doing good in school, and being popular, and just being "normal." I'm always good in school, my brother calls me a browner even. I'm not that popular, but thats really okay with me. I'd rather have time to myself to do things I want to do then have too much time spent on friends and no alone time to myself. I still do have friends, just not too many that I can't count. And then there is the pressure of people telling you to slack off and be late for class and badly behave, because that is the "normal" thing to do. Basicly , if you don't do that, then your considered "uncool" and "not normal" I totally feel that an education that gives you tons of opportunities is way better than an education that just has a few. So i'd rather be a "browner" and "uncool" and be myself instead of being "stupid" and "cool and popular" and not being true to who I am. and there is also alot of pressure to be skinny too. I'm not that skinny, I have more of a muscular build. But i'm fine with that.

Erica, dont worry. The people who think they are perfect are the people who arent. And all you need is a good group of friends! And remember "To dream about the person you want to be is to waste the person that you are." Dont worry about that stuff, you have one life, so that means you have one shot. And being different is normal. If two people were exacly the same, that would not be normal, but being different is what makes people normal.

Yes sometimes, expecially because all the girls at my school are twig thin and wear all the coolest clothes that I can't afford. I am not as tiny in size as them, I am way taller and heavier, sometimes it makes me feel like I don't fit in with everyone else. But I never want to be in the popular group because at my school most of them aren't nice. And a lot of people at my school are all stuck up and i know I would never want to be like them. So I just remember I can be the better person and I don't have to be that perfect because I know they aren't either. I shouldn't waste my time on being someone I know I could never be.

Well I guess it kinda depends really
most girls fall into be like your friends
When they should just be themselves
I'd rather be a loner than have friends
that don't like me for who Iam.
Love you and people will except.

I have the exact opposite prob as you people. Im way too skinny, and get teased. Thats the way I am, I eat a lot of junk, and gain no weight, Im just a skinny person!

Yea definitly. you do feel the pressure from family and friends and just about everyone around you. It's always oh you're not skinny enough or you're not pretty or popular or something like that but i don't reallycare because well i'm my crazy self.My friend Alexis and I look up to Selena and Demi as role models when ever i feel that way i think of them because well they're so sure of themselve and they make me feel good about myself

who doesnt feel the pressure to be perfect ya know with all these magazines saying all this stuff and overly skinny girls come on everybody feels it but sometimes you just gotta shrug it off and remember that your you and thats the best you can be

Yes I feel Like That All The Time Like If I Have 2 Be Skinny And Popular 2 get Boys And Be Cool. I always Take Nick Jonas As An Example I always Feel That If He Ever Came 2 My School And Date One of Us He Would Pick The Popular Skinny Girl.Now I don't Call Me self Fat AT ALL! But I'm not Super Skinny Like A Stick.... I Luv How Nick Jonas Says He Looks At A Girls Attitude Because I have A Better Attitude and that's Mostly All That Matters. If You really Think About Why would You wanna Be Perfect????

manateeblues on November 10, 2008 7:40 PM

not perfect for say
but skinny
not being like stupid and say something wrong
but i think almost everyone feels that way
and i guess the best thing is to just act how u are and if someone doesn't like that well that's their fault and you shouldn't care so much
but yeah, i guess i feel pressure to be "perfect" in your own way, and to fit in, which i have to say well, not everyone can be the perfect popular one, because that would well defeat the purpose
off topic, be true to urself and everything will turn out for the good!!! (i think, don't quote me on that or anything)
but i do feel pressure to be perfect
i feel this way from other popular people who are rude to me and make fun of me
everyone has those people somewhere in their life
now is my time, unfortunately

yes way yes. im like trying to be famous and all that but seriously its not working. people tell me and fat, ugly, cant sing. its very unfortunate.

No, because I am perfect. :)

yes!! I feel Pressured every day of my life!! I get pressured over homework, boys , brothers, parents, everything! I have friends that I usually lean on if I am stressed, but now when I say I like a guy, they dont support me!! So if you ask me everyone gets pressured sometimes, and NO-ONE is perfect! I don't think us girls,or anyone for that matter can help it, we are only human!!!

Yes definetly. Your getting preasured by friends,family and schhol.

i definately feel pressured by guys at school about how i look. but i just ignore what they say but some how i always go down to their level.

yes definately, i was always geting pressured by my boyfriend because he wa trying to look cool in front of his friends. he even talked me into get a tatoo until i figured it out.so if you ever get pressured by your friends or anyone don't do it.

beyourselfgirl on November 10, 2008 9:13 PM

yes. in fact i do because popular girls are always skinny and popular and im not so much.
I think that you should just be able to be yourself and not have to worry at popular girlz.

oh and by the way Jessie is just mean and she iz a poular girl. you can tell.

No i don't feel the pressure to be perfect because why do you need to be perfect? Yes there is one reason to be perfect :boys, but forget about that until your in high school. I just get along with life with my bff's with my amazing friends and education and most of all my family.

yes i have probs like i wanna be popular and stuff but
oh well

zaret garcia on November 11, 2008 1:46 AM

im to fat

I have this one friend that says she's better at everyone at everything, and when I try my hand at something I like, she'd be like "You can't do this. Im better than you at that!" I'm trying to keep up, because we're at a breaking point, even though we've been BFFs for 7 years.

My crush found out I like him. I totally faked it out for the next couple weeks, but I feel him noticing me again. I'm trying my best to ignore, but he's getting back in my life. I wish I could block him out. Truly, some of my friends are pushing his back too! What should I do??

-Carly

Sometimes its not right I feel dark alone. Like the world could crash around me. No one understands me. I love my mom but she thinks its fake. If she could be in my mind. The dark lonely place it is. I sit alone and write. I write about anger, depression, tears, that no one sees.
I keep them bottled up inside. I run from them. My minds running faster than my body. Can I keep up? NO! So I smile not letting anyone know I'm confused. I yearn for a solution. I ask they give me another pill. It works for a month. Then I'm back where I started. Alone sad. I tell my mom she yells, " Oh the drama, Theres always something wrong with you." So I quit asking. I cry alone. I feel like no one can relate.
I wake up alone. I shake. It's from stress. I feel like I'm the only one I can turn to. Daniel cares but does he understand. Will he leave if I tell him. I'm not scarred of anything anymore. The only things that relax me stress me.
I can't work but I need to. I'm broke. I feel like waking up is a battle and I'm stressed the minute I open my eyes. If its not a seizure, its stress if its not stress, its my mind, and now I can't hear.
No one believes me. I battle to be normal and to make life normal and to make life for everyone around me normal. Coffee keeps me awake. I wonder if I'll be a good wife or if I should run.
Mom gambles all the money away. Will I even have a wedding on May 9, 2009. Will the cats get feed? Will will eat? Will we have the basic to survive? Not unless Daniel can pull in enough money to do it all. Can he do it?
Can we have Christmas or will the money be gone? Can I focus on studying long enough to become a Medical Assistant? Or will my mind run? The house has to be clean. Can I make time if not I'll worry. I can't give up.
Go AUbri Go!! I can't sit. Do something. Schools important, study. The house is important, clean. Balance out the money. Keep it a secret. Do you know how to cry anymore? Do you know what a normal life is like anymore?
Don't be ashamed. Keep your head up. Smile for the world. Its one big camera. If you let anyone see you frown you'll make them wonder. Hide and run! No sit and smile! Its a battle with myself. Can I win or do I fall short? Can you keep doing it all or do you fall short? Maybe
My minds running faster than I can write. What do you do today. You clean, study, do laundry, and make lunch. If you can't do all this how will you be a good wife and a parent one day. Don't let your mom see this you'll get in trouble.
I'm wore out physically and mentally. Can I keep going or I will I fall asleep? Drink more coffee. I'm busy I've got to do something my minds racing.
I'll keep up and stay strong. I always do! Its time to work!

DEFINATLY! I always worry if I'm to fat, if the guy me or not,do i look ugly,am I out of his league,and lot more!Recently I wrote a note to my crush saying i like him and put it in his desk when I saw him read it I felt totally stupid for doing that he was so blushing I didnt know what to think!When one of my bf's told him she liked him to i was so annoyed.He went up to her the next day and said what are u thinking dont have a crush on me I dont like you! It was really funny but I kind of felt sorry for my friend.I dont know why but it didnt seem like she herd him cause she was just staring and smileing at him.Then he just walked away.I always wondered why he never did that to me...after that my friend said she didnt like him anymore.I was so relieved.But then my other friend said she liked him and i thinking when is this gonna end!She knew i liked him 4 a year and i still did but she didnt care she asked him to be her boyfrind and he said he just wanted to be friends with her.Every time he looked @ me I wondered what was he thinking.I dont think he told anyone that I wrote a note to him saying I liked him.Everything was different from that say on he would look at me then blush then look away.I kind of thought he liked me but had second thoughts because he knew i liked him and if he liked me then why he didnt ask me to be his girlfriend.Every time I'd try to stop having a crush on him I couldnt stop likeing him.This is my second year having a crush on him.Thats my story...It sucks huh?

I wan't to be perfect sometimes, but being perfect is just boring plus I really don't care about that. I know who I am and everyone's beatiful in their own special way.

Kaela & Chelsi on November 11, 2008 1:35 PM

Kaela:To me if you have a problem with the way that you look or if you feel "pressure" to be perfect then you need to seek help. Not trying to be racists here I am a black female and as most people know blck females have a certain kind of confidence about themselves so you could be 300 pounds and still be pretty or 120 and still be pretty. if you got a lil butt be proud of it flaunt it don't say UGH I AM SO FAT because some boy is gone like that lil waist and that lil stuff in the the trunk IT'S CALLED BEING THICK SO BE PROUD OF IT!!!!!!!! AND NO I DO NOT FEEL PRESSURE TO BE PERFECT I LOVE ALL MY CURVES NO MATTER WERE THEY MAY FALL

Chelsi:I don't feel pressure cause nobody is gone pressure me to be perfect.So to all you other girls you need to suck it up no use in crying over something so stupid.You need to say I'm big so what if you got a problem say it to my face.so when Little Susie talking her mess you need to tell her she ain't bout nothin' she must not like herself so she start talkin spit about you then you can tell her that she ain't no better than you so stay strong and be confident. so if she step to you again you need to slap the taste out her fonky mouth.

Doesn't everyone have pressure being beautiful because I know i do so just be yourself and don't be afraid to take dares with your style
peace and love

yea we girls hav so much self cofidnce but wen someone makes fun of u lose all of every thing u had some girls r heavy and some hav acney but that doesnt mean u put urself down i hav been called so many names but thats one persons oppinion that doesnt mean its urs. we think that we need to look good cuz theres guys and some guys want someone whos laid back. if u really r not cofident in the way u look then change that but if someone doesnt lik the way u look than who cares not like that person will be by u the reast of ur life. we hav so much preasure on us that wen some one tells u that u look good take that preasure away and look at ur self in a diffirent way nt the way bout wat thers think but wat u think and thats wat matters
luv who ever is better and thats u

totaly i hav a crush on this guy but i cant mak up the nerv to ask him out and he nos i lik him cuz my oulder bro told him in the boys locker room any way i always wonder if he liks me 4 me or f he liks the way some girls look but u can never tell and if a guy liks u 4 u than thats awesome but if he liks the way u look thats ok but think bout wat would happen if u asked that guy out and he broke up wit u cuz of ur peronality and u were just to full of urself thats y u never can dress lik u or dress all pouplur cuz u need to be u and if u no ur poular than thats great but bein pouplar is not bout bein able to pick on people diffreint than u its bout havin friends that care we girls shouldnt stand for people that right stuff lik wat that person rote in the 3rd comment we need to stand up for r self and not be told were ugly, fat, or not kool lik they r as long as u no ur kool thats all that matters
luv the people that r strong enough to luv the way they look

oppps i ment the secound person from november 11th dont listen to her shes hatin on us

well ya for sure you are getting pressured...with your family firends the magazines celebrities...and everything./..when you pick up a magazine and you takwe a look at a star they always look there best(well usally)and you are always like man i wichj i could loook like them and stuff...but everyone is PERFECT the way they are and if people arent good enough to see that well then thats there loss...(L)

I definitely think that girls are pressured to be perfect. It's the media and magazine covers with air brushed models that AREN'T really perfect. Every girl should remember that there is no one that really looks like that and that you are unique and special and beautiful being yourself.

i always feel that way because i have a crush on two of the most popular guys in seventh grade but i'm in sixth and their both friends one calls me auggiedoggie thats beside the point his sister is my class but only one knows i like him and i feel i have to be perfect around them and his sister just because i f i act stupid she can tell them

Aubri, you are so not alone. You are safe in your own house. Nobody can see you, just be whoever you want. And the most popular girl in school might be the same way. Nobody is fearless. And your mom might not wanna talk about it because she might have gone through the same thing and his really scared to remind herself. And just slow down. You have all the time in your life. You only have one life, one shot. And dont worry about being a good wife or parent yet. Worry about right now. Worrying about tomorrow takes time away from the moment, and sometimes its better to stay in the moment because you might learn something without even knowing it. But you can set goals. There is a difference between living in tomorrow and making goals for tomorrow that will give tomorrow a little excitement, and today a little break. You are NOT alone. There is a whole world out there, not just the US. And there are lots of people getting help for that right now. And if your mom wont help, get another adult you can trust, and tell them about your probs, and your moms gambling, everything. Just talk. You are perfect for being the way you are. You are beautiful. Dont forget it.

Yes, becuase i make sure i dont have toothpaste on my mouth before i go. I make sure that i wear whats in style. And i spend to much time in the morning getting ready. But its a girl thing so i dont take it offensive.

In my life just starting highschool I just feel like you have to be perfect but I know you don't. Like one day I was waring sweat pants and a bagie sweter and someone called me a hobo...and I thought she was my friend but the thing is I want to be liked by everyone and I think we should be yourself because we're all perfect in are own way. You should love yourslef for yourself and know that your perfect the way you are, never give up on yourself, if you feel pressured in to being someone your not then stop and just be yourself, if it's your friends or boyfriend then you shouldn't be in that group of people if they don't like you for who you are. Your friends should like you for who you are not for who your trying to be......Be yourself, your TRUE friends don't want any one else!

I definately fell the pressure. I have this stereotypr of "Nerd" even though I'm really not. And most of my friends are popular so I feel the pressure to try to be popular. At my school this was the year of the new kids. we had 5 or 6 new 8th graders (that's the grade I'm in) One of them liked me... until one of the guys I know came up to him while I was talking to him in the hallway at school and told him i was a nerd. He has never talked to me since! I also have the pressure on me to do great academically cuz i'm in NJHS (National Junior Honor Society). I also wanna be a singer/actress for Disney Channel so I feel the pressure to be perfect in that area too! Being a teen is tough stuff girls! But your friends should be there for you no matter what! and ther is always God! >3 >3 >3

sorta... it seems that guys only like girls thay have perfectly white teeth, perfect outfits, and that look like beautiful celebs like selena and demi!! it drives me crazy!! i do make sure i have nothing wrong with me before i go to school so i'm "perfect"... it's crazy!!

no! in no way dose all the pressur in my life make me feel i need to be purfect. my best friend is going through some guy troubel,like when someone likes you but you like someone else who is dating your '' enemy''. she is realy deprest and feels the need to be purfect my other friend and i have tried to snap her out of it but she won't.IT IS SO HARD BEING A TEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well no not really. I don't need to be perfect because there is no such thing. Perfection will only happen when everyone has the exact sam e opinion. Like, 10 zillion years from now that STILL will not have happened. Not everyone will think that curly blond hair with light brown streaks is the best hairstyle there is. Not everyone will think that black jeans and a pink blouse will be the perfect thing to wear on a date. So no I never feel pressured to be perfect. Everyone is different and I have my own style and my own way of life. I will never be perfect, nor will anyone else in the world. A girly-girl can go around and judge people by what they wear, weather it's the perfect thing for school, or the most hideous outfit they have ever seen. So no never do I feel I need to be perfect. Perfection doesn't exist in my world.

Everyones perfect in unusual ways, but I get teased because my breath smells like hay.

Honestly, I feel like girls should not feel like they need to be perfect. Everyone has their flaws. NO ONE is perfect. I have been overweight almost my entire life. I have been criticized to the point where I have been in tears. I overcame the fact that sometimes people are just immature and they don't see people for who they are, not what they look like. It is human nature to judge other people, sometimes just to make yourself feel better. I feel like magazines and television should not criticize people either because if young girls see that they will end up with things like eating disorders and wanting plastic surgery. I'm not overly religious but one thing I do believe is that God made us the way we are for a reason and if he wanted us any other way he wouldn't have made us this way.

No. I used to feel like my friends didn't like the person that I was, so I tried really hard to be someone that I wasn't and didn't want to be. They told me that I couldn't hang out with some of my closest friends because they were too weired or "messed up" as they put it. Then I relized that I didn't need to pretend to be someone else to have friends that liked me for who I was because they would never know who that person was, and if they thought my friends were weired then they don't know them like I do. I still sometimes think that I need to be a certain way for other people, but then I think about how I hated having to pretend that I was someone I wasn't, and I feel better.

i definatly don't. my fam's awesome and friends are too. i'm a perfectionist in school, but I like getting the best grades. Music is my inspiration (hopefully be up-and-coming singer) and I have amazing role models. I think the best role models are people who don't care what people say and aren't obsessed with looks. In Hollywood, it's completely the opposite. You have an obligation to look a certain way. this encourages fans to do the same. Guys seem to expect girls to look a certain way in real life so people are all pressured to be perfect. What's perfection is the personalities you have. BE YOURSELF NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS SAY

yep....totally....i'm so not skinny....and school sukz..... well my dad's fine but my mom wants me to try......and try.....its crazy......i think that looks aren't every thing...u know......at school kids who r sreally skinny and popular won't let u live u're life....but u know the thing is that they're gelous that u re not trying to be perfect and u're happy with that.......it kills um..........

i have a lot of pressure going on lately....
i have just came to california from canada.... and it's really different here... i sort of feel left at at school... but in my old school, i was the most popular person in the entire grade... i miss canada and my old school! =(

Yes I really thank people are presured everyday its it for school or sports or watever there always something that you can do better but people need to understand that nobody is perfect and it might take someone more then one time to get something right and being pressured is every where now a days if its with friends to smoke or drink to look cool or if its someone has to act a certain way to fit in.I tihnk every one should be them selves and if someone is the way they are then let them its not going to hurt to let someone be wwho they want to be and not who you want them to be.

Yeah but every girl should know this "Everyone has thier burden what counts is how you carry it" I've used these words to get through tough times. I've been pressured to get high, smoke, drink, and so many of that stuff. To get out of that situation surround yourself with good people. and if anyone needs to talk please email me at elite_40@yahoo.com

Penguin Girl128 on November 12, 2008 5:52 PM

I think the presher to be perfect is to much so wear what you want and don't be afraid to wear what you want. If someone teases you, they just are jealous of you and every thing you have and all the friends you have!

yes it is i am skinny and i have the pressure that my body hasnt developed as much as other girls have and i look at all the girls in the magazines especially selena gomez whom is my idol and go like"god y cant i be more like her?"so i definetly have alot of pressure to be perfect

JONASBROTHER(l)MEEEEEE on November 12, 2008 7:56 PM

YES!!! defentialy i mean like you see all the stars and look at their lives and their all soo perfect.
I would (L) it if people stopped bugging me about how i look compared to the stars ex. Selena,Miley etc.
I hope one day that some ppl can actually have better lives than some stars.
Thanks J-14 that made me feel better cause now the whole world knows

OMG! yes i do! im always worring that im too fat or not pretty enough like Selena Gomez or all the other perfect starz... at school theres this guy who i dont really care about but like everybodys his friends and he always says im fat and that if im not fat now im going to be when i grow up just cause im growing and im always eating healthy to... u no get healthy and stuff it happens every day and each day i think about if i really am fat and if i am going to to get fat when i grow up.. and like i said he's friends with like everyone so like they are always staring at me in wonder why im eating with people who arent my best friends but what they dont know is that im getting as far away from him as possible and my best friends are alway wondering why im not hanging out with them at recess and they fail to relize that they are always around scott and i just really really do not like him.
so yeah you could say i am worried about being perfect and its all because of onekid... i know i shouldent be worried about it but if is always there haunting me in my shadows.

Yes i actually do because im so differant from everyone else and for once i just want to fit in and be popular but that wont happen.I dont have many friends so i wish i could be someone perfect and be someone everyone liked.

No, because I act out stuff with my Polly Pockets. That makes me feel a lot better. But even though Im 12, it is fun just acting out my life and seeing the possible ways of why they are saying that to me. And sometimes when I have a bad day, and Polly Pockets dont work, Ill just take out my Hannah Montana wig, put it on, and pretend that Im her and dance to music. I pretend fans are lined up and I grab their hands and stuff.

serena miller on November 12, 2008 9:54 PM

Yes, me personally I'm under pressure. I'm pretty much around the age were everyone feels pressure...espeically girls.like the average day puts pressure on me. Going to school, trying to do good on tests,and clothes.I'm a girl with so many dreams, thats all I think about. Like all the possibilitys and everything I can achieve.my dream is to be famous.haha its pretty much everyones dream. :) but I just want to show all of the other girls out there you can come from a small place like glendale wisconsin, and still achieve your dreams. And my most important dream is that my parents would be happy. That they would come home one day after work without yelling or sleeping. I want the best for them.but they also want the best for us.
Boys, are on every girls mind thease days...including mine.
Sometimes I just wish that I could be perfect, but no one is. I wish I could wake up for once feeling beautiful. But I can't. I want to be able to go to school withour feeling concious about what I'm wearing.
Being a 11 year old girl is tough. Ill be 12 in 1 month, and I wish for the almost the same thing every year. Some times I wonder why wishes don't cometrue like out parents say they will.
Sorry I'm getting off subject:/
But yes, I'm under pressure...seeing all the gorgous and talented stars like selena gomez and demi lovato makes me wonder how they got were they are today.
Just an average day...is enough pressure.

Cristal Ramos on November 12, 2008 10:01 PM

yes because guys won't like you if your not perfect or pretty

Yes, I feel personally pressure to B perfect. I mean come on there is always a cute crush to charm over and school work can make you feel like a big weight is on your shoulders.And the popular girls and guys are always picking on you to perfect with them or be a loser and different.

no i dont fell presured because like they say no1 is perfect so how do we know what to be like so just be yuor self and if poeple dont like you it is there loss

kalelee jadee hill on November 13, 2008 11:36 AM

when people just say your born perfcet it adds
alot of prasure but i don't because i know no 1 is perfect and you have to larn thatxoxo

I totally feel the pressure to be perfect there is a girl in my choir class who is always trying to be the center of attention. and just because she can sing she thinks she is better than everyone! i hate her so much!!! then the choir teacher just likes her more than anyone else. so to get the teacher to like me, i feel like i have to be perfect all the time! and then theres just plain old school. boys tease me because i'm overweight! and i'm thinkin OMG we are in the eight grade! grow up!! so yeah i always feel the pressure to be perfect.

jonasbrothersfan1 on November 13, 2008 1:09 PM

yes! i do feel pressured because of magazines whenever i see a really skinny celebrity i think that i have to be like them and look like them

I try not 2. I think when you to to a new school without knowing anyone or you move it's hard. You want to make friends by being that outgoing popular girl. But the important thing is to just say "The more I think about being that person the more shy and unlike that person I will become. I want people to like me for who I am and what I believe in"

another time it's hard is around guys. Especially if one asks out your friend or something and you've been crushing on him. Again I think it's important to just stay true to yourself.

yes it's easy to feel pressured around guys. Especially if one rejects you. but you (should) like the guy for who he is and if he doesn't like you for who you are then you shouldn't try and change and be perfect

it's also hard when you move. You wanna be all popular, but I think it's important to realize the more you think about being someone else the more shy and timmid you get. Again you want friends who like you for you are. Just be yourself.

i always feel pressured because i like a guy and his sister is in my class so i always feel that i have to perfect

Yea definitely especially with all the ads that say things like"hot" and stuff its totally pressuring. Also guys only look for well looks these days they don't really care for who you are. But the worst i have to say is being a younger girl in an older grade it sucks because nobody thinks your mature enough to date!!

yes there are so many cool kids. i have lots of friends but no boyfriend because i'm 11 and lots of people do and i want one and i feel everyone is staring at me because i don't have one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, ofcourse it is pressure to try to show the world that you are perfect! For instance, Miley screwed up most of her career, and now only 30% of people still love her! Nobody is perfect, but if you screw up one little thing the world gets mad at you!

Kirstiana Layman on November 13, 2008 7:51 PM

I totally feel that way. I'm pretty chubby,so the pressure is preety bad. Especially is Middle school.=P

i ve been having really hard times at school my firend likes these two boys i think there cute but albout a week ago i was asked out by a boy she like in the 6 th garde and yesterday she was asking this boy if he would go with her to a dance and he said no he asked me to the dance infront of her it made her cry

hi i kinda feel presure to do good in school because i want to get good grade and make my parents proud and i want tp help them more at home and i am really trying to do the best i can and i am really lucky to have great friends and parents. thanks j-14 wat u say in ur magaziene helps me alot!!!!!

No, because I really think that there is someone out there who likes you for you, and if you change all the people who liked you wont amymore. And if someone does like you and you become friends, then the whole time the friendship wont be the real thing. And I think that once you go to the extreme, you end up like Aubri up above me with the super long comment. I steer clear of lots of the people or things that make you feel that way. I really think that you are the way you are because nobody is friendless, only unfriendly.

yes cause i see all these people that are really thin and even though there are big people in the world doesnt mean that they are ugly they are just as beautiful as everyone else.

yes cause i see all these people that are really thin and even though there are big people in the world doesnt mean that they are ugly they are just as beautiful as everyone else.

Ya deffintly. Expecially the facial features.
like if i have a pimple i freak. And i think
people in the acting or singing carrer shouldn't
look perfect because there always saying that
there just like us but it's not true cuz they've got
the people to make them look flawless and perfect
in everyway.

Bianca: I dont mean to sound full of myself, but I am tall, skinny, tan, and have tons of expereince with boys. Really, I dont mean to sound conceited, but I just feel fine with myself.

Nina: I am just like Bianca. And no, Im not full of myself, but really, I am happy with who I am, and what is happening right now in my life. It just seems like right now Im having a really fun time with all the things life has to offer. And with me and Biancas rich parents we really are having fun. And no, we are totally not mean, just here to show how SPANISH BABES HAVE THE MOST FUN!

Tina: Well, Bianca and Nina, I would like to say having a twin is the best because there is someone the same age as you who knows everyone in the school.
Gina: I think being Spanish like Nina and Bianca would be fun, and being a twin is really bad.....Tina loves it.....I ended up with the better name..LOL. Who cares about being perfect????? I have Tina, and my other sisters that are twins that are older than me, Hailey and Bailey. And there is my older sister who doesnt have a twin, Alexandra Lynn-Ethel.

Wheres my sandwich that I was eating a few minutes ago???? I dont know what happend.....well....G2G..........find my sandwich.

i think Many teens And Young Girls Are Being pressured to be Perfect These Days, Because So many Girls Wanna Be Pretty, All That, And the Best. Most Girls Just need to be happy with how they look, because how you look is the best thing, not looking like someone else.

I think that there is a lot of preassure, but we all have to get past that. You want to be that bubbly girl but the more you think about it the more shy you get. Or if you succeed your secrets will come out eventually.

It's so hard to move schools and have no one like you and you just want to have friends, but do you want to have friends who like you for another person?

and the same with a crush. Girls can want to be pretty, and charming, and popular and everything to a guy, but if your just like everyone else then you'll never stand out

I've learned that when you try to just be yourself and throw away your pride everything works out.

No beacause im not perfect i make mistakes and learn from them and dont regret anY im not perfect and i never will B i dont tend to ;]

omg yes well alot of the people at my skool are realy judgemental so i feel insecure sometimes so i feel the need 2 be perfect to get the guys 2 leave me alone or just keep my name out of there mouth

omg yes well alot of the people at my skool are realy judgemental so i feel insecure sometimes so i feel the need 2 be perfect to get the guys 2 leave me alone or just keep my name out of there mouth

yes of course i'm pressured with boys, family, friends , plus i feel the need 2 look good every minute of everyday to get guys 2 like me , i feel the need 2 look skinny , pretty and popular .....and on top of all that i have schoolwork so i can have my family be proud of me i'm the youngest of three so i have to try to be the perfect little sister and pretend it doesn't bug me to be called ur daniel's little sister or ruth's little sister instead of my actual name ... i have many haterz checking everything i do so i have to worry about them to . uhh my life is complicated

you have so much pressure to be perfect
but i love selena and demi because they don't pressure you and they are not afraid to be themselves
they rock!!!!

Well, at school and at home, yes. But you know what? I make mistakes and I know how to prevent them from happening. But the thing is, when you are just by yourself you can forget about that stuff. Its life. Something was supposed to be this way. Like Aubri who basically has depression, someday something good is really gonna happen for her. Hard times come so you have something exciting at the end, because you fix the problem and know youve done good. And BTW Kassandu, you left your sandwich at my house! LOL!

Roseanna (: on November 15, 2008 1:24 PM

Yes, I do feel pressured. People are always telling me that I'm so beautiful, and I spend a lot of my time applying make-up, and doing my hair.
Without any of this, I look a mess! Even though my look is very natural. I feel so pressured to get up so early to get ready. This however, does not make me think that school is about being better or prettier than someone else, we have to wear uniforms and make up is no allowed.
I'm not vain! That implies that I love myself, I don't carry around compact mirrors to contantly look at myself.
Everybody has ways to feel better about themselves, I doll myself up, because I get such responces from it, and it gives me confidence! Without that, I feel naked and stripped of my confidence.

i do feel pressured.with family, friends ,school its like i want to be so perfect for everyone.The onlt person im real with is my best friend.My own family i act like someone im not.They dont know the real me.I have Been growing up a lot lately,But i still try to be perfect and it soo freakin hard!!!I want to be me the real me but im afraid.over the summer i wanted to be super skinny in time for school i thought it was the perfect time to almost stop eating.Thank GOD i got ahold of my self.I wish all this pressure would just stop!!!!!!

No, because of the people i look up to like Selena Gomez,she is always saying to love yourself the way you are and no one is perfect so every time she says something like that i take it to heart and put it to action!

yes everyday well not everyday but it seems that way but i dont feel like im being pressure i push myself to be perfect because i try to because i'm tryingto make better of myself.

Yes, isn't every girl? But you have to forget about the pressure, just think "yeah I'm perfect, cuz I'm me." And that will go a long way.

Yes..I feel like I have to go through all this trouble in the morning to impress. I am made fun of for having a big nose and all that stupid stuff. I pretend to not hear the person saying it but its hard not too.

Yes i fell that some times people want m to b perfect. i feel it the most when i scrue up at something and i get into truble with the rents. but dont we all feel that way about being perfect. that is what i really want to no. i guess as long as i do my best that is all i really have to do. i no that i make mistakes. at school we might fail a test and at home we can get into trouble with the rents but i really do try. that is all i can doo.

Yes, I do becuse peple make fun of me for beeing a bad speler. I am in sicksth grade and peple say I am not an avereg stodentt and that make me sad becuse I am very capabel I just have a hard time with speling. I have a normul amownt of frends and have a normul life, I just dont do wel in scholl. Their is a populer girl and she embaressess me abowt not beeing good at it that I am thincking abowt homescholl but my parents wont let me becuse they want me to be reguler and Im just noot.

no cuz when u grow accustomed to it u just dont even care

Joe's tru love on November 16, 2008 1:09 AM

IsAbElLa J. on November 16, 2008 3:43 PM

The only thing on my body that I am DEASPERATE to make perfect is..............................my eyebrows! I bey you thought I was gonna say boobies huh? Well no, that's gross. Anyway, I hate my eyebrows Cause they are so bushy and icky like! I hate it! But otherwise I'm perfectly happy with my looks...and everyone else should be too. If you think that not being absolutly hot means you're not going to have a good life or get married to a good looking guy then you're wrong. The only thing that will keep you from having a good life is if you stop trying! And it's really dumb and shallow to tell someone they're ugly just so you can laugh at them and have no one laugh at you. That's what I (and probably everyone else in the world) call being a stupid insensitive jerk! We all have insecurities and the is really no need to be extra saor depressed about them. Never ever change for anyone but yourself and only yourself! Otherwise you'll have something elese to be insecure about. Lack of selfconfedence!!!! And that's the worst thing to be insecure about!!! The piont is to be happy with yourself...don't change for anyone but you!
-Isabella Jackson

ughhh see why would they use a picture of SELENA GOMEZ? because she's perfect? that is the reason i hate her. i mean she thinks she's the centre of attention. & she just seems really fake and like "omgg im such a nerdd" like seriously get a life nerds dont LOOK or DRESS like that. K? Thats is the MAIN reason i like miley cyrus and demo lovato better than her. Theyre not perfect. and that makes them likable and normal.

$$CoUrTnEy$$ on November 16, 2008 7:25 PM

YES! I all was feel the pressure to be perfect but being perfect will change your feature because i went there i use to hang out with the popular cheer leading girls but if they tell you are a loser or a nerd or to get out of my way geek it will still make you perfect but there are just mad at you guys and when the popular boys or girls get older they will just be a geek and all of the not popular kid will make you popular know in a few years you will be popular


ps miley cyrus is stupid and she will be a nerd to!!!!!!!!!

Of cousre i feel like that. i always look at myself in the mirror and just stare because im not the prettiest ever like selena gomez pretty'i just am who i am. but i always think will any guy ever want to date me [like in my class because there is some cute guys in my class].like they always like the girls who are skinny,with big boobs,big butts and pretty.like i always get made fun of because yeah im not the skinneist or the prettiest people call me ugly and chubby. i just cant stand it.
ps 7th grade sucks![[DRAMA DRAMA AND EVEN MORE DRAMA!]]

yeah i feel like that. i feel like no guy will ever want to date me because im not the prettiest, skiniest, dont have the biggest butt or boobs etc.its just i cant stand it.
ps 7th grade sucks!![[DRAMA DRAMA AND EVEN MORE DRAMA!XD]]

no 1 is perfect every one gets pressured or hurt in life even me

no 1 is perfect every one gets pressured or hurt in life even me

no 1 is perfect every one gets pressured or hurt in life even me

Yes, My best friend is so pretty and she is always getting all of the guys. And so it makes me want to be perfect. Because when we were younger in like elementary school i always had a boyfriend and hanging out with the guys and as i grew older i got very shy and stopped talking to the guys. So i just want to be perfect so i can keep up with my bestie.

FROSTY DRAGON 91 on November 16, 2008 11:03 PM

No i don't feel presure cause I am the shit!!
People that feel presure are fucking gay and normally
Fat chicks that no one likes cause they are wierd and
Rude to people and get no dick!!!!
Peace out mother fuckers =)

I SURE DO. THE THINGS IS THAT TODAY DAYS YOU OPEN A MAGAZINE AND RIGTH AWAY SEE SKINNY GIRLS. THE FACT IS THAT ONCE YOU OPEN IT YOU FEEL YOUR UNPERFECT AND WANT TO BECOME LIKE ONE OF THEM. IF THERE WERE MORE PLUS SIZE MODELS IN THE MAGAZINE I WILL PROBALY SAY "HEY SHE IS NOT SKINNY YET BEUTYFUL!"

I honestly think everyone has their own opinions on this but I truley believe that more than half of the girls do feel pressured. Skinny is in and everyone wants to be skinny. It has gotten to the point where I hate to gain weight because I want to stay how I am, because its perfect. Also I feel the pressure in my family because we are the "perfect family" and everyone looks up to us. And the other day my dad told me what I shouldnt wear but I honestly want to wear what I want to and It wasnt even inaproprate.

I honestly wish that it would all just go away! Stupid Media!!
Girls be yourself its the way to be and if people dont like you for you well then thats too bad for them!

we have to stick together in this we are all girls and we all go threw the same stuff.. we are all alike lets be there for one another!
Selena and Demi are so pretty !!

My name is Sasha-Sandra. I get made fun of for my name, so my mom said I could make up a two name nickname so I wouldnt get made fun of anymore. I picked Leeann-James. I thought that the combination of names flowed really good. But then they made fun of me for having a boys name. My mom said I could change it again. I picked Coral-Vivain. That one is better. There is pressure to have everything be perfect. I let my mom call be Sasha-Sandra again so she thinks I still like it. But everyone else calls me Anne.

My name is Kennedy Turner,I really do have the presure to be perfect!!! I hate it. why can't we girls just be aceppted for who we are?? I mean we all don't have to be alike to fit in!

ummm...yah
you are always under pressure in the morning trying to do you hair and figuring out what to wear. especially me, i hate my hair it is so long and thick and has split ends all through it. if i wouldn't have got it cut last week, i would look like a dirt ball! when i wear my hair up i feel like im bald. its soo embarrissing but i still wear it like that every day! but then other days ill straighten it to make it look pretty. but if i dont and i just let it hang, then im doomed, i am constantly trying to get knots out of my hair. oh and hear is another thing, my teeth, i am constantly brushing them like im going to the prom, and thenn when i dont brush them at least once a day, my breath smells like fish sticks. it is so disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes i feel pressured. i feel pressured to be the best in school. sometimes i feel like a failure when i cant get something the first time. then there is the pressure of looking a certain way! SKINNY and beautiful. I have glasses and i dont feel pretty with them. I also feel like im not skinny enough! But then i remember you shouldnt be worried about being beautiful on the outside but being beautiful on the inside! My cousin i hate to say it but she actually makes me feel insecure about myself because she is pretty and super skinny! then i go to my house and im an only child so i feel better about myself. So i try not to feel that way but sometimes i cant help it!!!
*your beautiful and dont let anyone tell you differently!!

well it might be so cool being perfect but im not saying you can be perfect.so i will say um a yes.cause it is... so so so so so soooo cool! i love being perfect!dont you?

WHOA WHOA WHOA GIRLS WHATS ALL THIS TALK ABOUT BEING SKINNY CUZ AT MY SCHOOL IF YOU DONT HAVE A FAT ASS THEN YOUR ANEREXIC ITS SO TRUE BUT ANY WAY SOMETIMES I DO SAY TO MYSELF IF I WAZ PERFECT I WOULD HAVE NO TROUBLES BUT ALSO NO FRIENDS CUZ EVERYONE WOULD BE HATING RIGHT?

ya, def. almost everyday. every girl wants to be beautiful, popular, funny, have an awesome bf, even i do! i want to be myself sometimes but its hard not to agree with the popular kids, and want to be rich and pretty. They all only wear the finest brands and every guy likes them and it seems like i wear ugly clothes, im ugly, and no one likes me. i even feel fat sometimes. but- the popular kids feel this way too and i found out some love my clothes and think im gorgeous. So dont be so hard on yerself (:

yeah i think that being a girl its self you have to deal with a lot not to metion the nature of growing up im not saying that boys have it easy either but i think that girls just go through a lot more than boys do

hey im having troble at school with grades and all that and theres a guy i like but he likes my best friend and she has a boyfriend so like every morning i spend about 2-3 hours on getting ready for school just for him i know stupid right not all he cares about is if you preety but i dont see why he likes her she can be sooo rude and mean.now the about school i used to be a straight a student but now that im thinking about boys my avarage has droped to a c avarage also i think that i have a ton of pressure right now because my life got way worse caz of my friend said that i cant like the guy because she lies him meanwhile she has a boyfriend. :S

i think teens have the most pressure because they always have to try soo hard to be preety and skinny.girls have no self confadence wat so ever and if they do they lose it from guys who judge.

Hey,
Well sometimes i think i'm being a liottle to perfect biy not all the time and hardly ever!!!!!!!!!1

Of course!

I feel teens are pressured everyday!

School, there's boys, you have to be pretty to have to wear the right cloths i mean you have to be perfect.

I choose to be myself no matter what, there is bound to be at least one guy out there for me(I think i found him btw

I feel the pressure to act older because I always have to take the mommy roll (my mom works a lot)and cook & clean for my little brothers. My big sis is such a baby she does not do anything she makes it hard by fighting with my two little brothers so I have to be mommy & big sis.

I dont pressure myself to be pretty. I mean you are who you are and I'm the girl with glasses and soon to be getting braces but no one picks on me and comes up to me and says you should be more prettier. Just like a said you are who you are and you should be happy with it.

I feel pressure to be apart of the popular kids!

I feel pressure to be apart of the popular kids!

i think that there are a lot of girls under pressure these days. i know i am. im trying to get skinnier in order to be a cheerleader. i get up at around 5 a.m. every morning just to do my hair and TRY to look pretty! omg dont you just hate this!!!!!!!!

wow there is so much that i can say about this but just one thing for now haha! it's so hard to try and feel pretty when your overweight :( i mean it's sad because no guys in the world will think your pretty if your not as skinny minnie as like selena gomez or demi lovato or miley cyrus or any other star or freaken person in the world it makes me sick that guys only go for looks now!!!! i wish that people would get to know you first before just going up to you and saying your ugly! or rolling there eyes or when your by the fence at a jonas brothers concert and they come out and they don't touch your hand because your hand is so fat you can't get it threw the fence hole :( well that's my say in this thanks for listening it feels good to say all this! haha!

i think the main reason girls try to b perfect is bcuz of guys.
guys r always sayin that we are fat or ugly or something. they only do that bcuz theyr friends are wit them. guys r soooo retarted sumtimes...

jordynnrocks on November 20, 2008 7:20 PM

yes becouse if i was perfect i would do the best in school i would do every thing right and i would all ways do the right thing. so yea that makes me wanna be perfect in every way and unforchuneutly none of us are prefect and thats okay becouse if we were perfect we wouldent learn any thing form or mastakes so thats proubly why we are NOT perfect so thats why would NOT want to be prefect to so think of all the stars that are not perfect like brittney sperse, miley cyrus and think of all the stars that think there perfect like miley cyrus again and selena gomez no ufence thouse who like them but they think that there perfect so even im not perfect i spell wrong and i dont care thats ok there's many thing that every ones good at it could be anything but every one has a talent thats why you should never make fun of of other people

yes! people are totally being pressure into being prefect. it may not be just by the totally amazing looking famous stars but it is alos pressured on by the people at school. the tighter the clothes the more pressure. and lately people have been wearing the tightest clothing.

i think there is definately a pressure to be perfect and to fit in
but really im in high school and its a whole new thing like im trying to just be me and noone is perfect no mattter who they are noone will ever be perfect everyone will have some kind of flaw to them its not tht easy to be perfect
everyone makes mistakes from time to time nd thts how we gorw and learn and everything if we dont make mistakes and think were perfect then were never gonna know truely how it is in life to try to get better in life

i definately made a new goal for 2009
and thts to be myself and now im not perfect but really how is

No way! i think that if you just be yourself then people will appreciate you for who you are. But, then again who I am is who everyone wants to be. I am good at sports, have a super hot bf, im in all pre ap classes, im a cheerleader, dance team, yearbook, band, and art i have like 50 bffs and they all love me! if you can acomplish that then u will be off to a good start! :)

no..nobody is perfect y should i try 2 b

yeah i do feel the pressure to be p erf ect. i mean, im the "anarexic" girl and i still get called fat. (im not really anerexic but im underweight :(...) but when someone calls you something for a long time, i guess you really start to believe it.... it sucks. "you cant kick me down im already on the ground"..........

Yes.
Everyone does.
I mean, who doesn't?
What with all the celebrities walking the red carpet looking perfect, flawless, and beautiful.

And it just bothers me,
Because each and every girl has a right to feel beautiful.
Because everyone is.

There's always going to be atleast one person who's going to think you're the most beautiful girl in the world.
I learned that just recently, actually.
And acknowledge that fact.
Because it makes your life a whole hell-of-a-lot easier.

Don't worry about what people say to you.
[Friends, family, people at school]
If they really loved you, they wouldn't be lying.
Listen to the people you care about, and that care about you.
They're always the one's that are right.

Anyone who has the nerve to tell you youre not beautiful,
Should burn in hell.

Yeah like i went to twilight movie and seen it (off course) and now nobody belives me and i left the ticket in londen with my dad

It depends... if you really care what others think then yes other wise no. Personally, I only felt that I needed to be perfect around the guy I like because of just how perfect he is, but then I found something out about him... He doesn't date! it made me feel a lot better, and now i don't feel like i need to be perfect anywhere or for anybody

I SO feel pressure to be perfect! I see people like Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus and want to be just like them! Their so skinny ans pretty! I would do anything to be like them, even starve myself :(.

Katiie P.

That always happens to me. I always try and make my hair look like Miley Cyrus and it never works out for me. And people shouldnt feel like they are the only one who feels like that. Because everybody goes through it. And the best thing is that.. you should always be yourself, and thats the most important thing. And being perfect isnt the greatest thing. Everyone has their bad days and nobody on this planet is perfect......=]

Yeah, I think everyone feels pressure to be perfect, either to impress a boy/girl, or to be popular or something. But, I think trying to be perfect is a part of life.

Yes, I do feel pressured to be perfect. But who is perfect?? Nobodies perfect. But I do feel like I have to skrink myself to be somebody Im not when it comes to meeting new people. They want you to be gorgeous. But whos to say that your not gorgeous? I think that people who pressure others to be "perfect", has alot of problems. They think that they are perfect.. thats what I call low life. They have nothing better to do but to make others feel like pooh because they dont look or act like them! But yes, I do feel pressured, but really, I shouldnt. Imma just do me and people dont like it.. then BOO!!! :)

I really feel the pressure.I see all these girls in magazines that are so pretty and I wish i was like them. I know the pictures are edited but this media craze to be size zero fake and beautiful with sugery has gone to far.Pictures are photoshopped to make even really pretty or handsome celebrities look not even like themselves I try hard every day to look my best , i put on make up spend ages with my hair and decide what to wear . Mostly sometimes to impress say someone at school I like or other people at school.Its stupid but its all the pressure getting to me and other girls.

:( x

i pressure mys my mom & dad dont pressure me i pressure me to be perfect and i dont no y i am me
and i am sorry to me shyanna for pressure mys to be perfect no 1 is perfect. and now i f good to just
say it

she is so good

I think some girls are and can be caty but you never know when its about you and you just feel like you do this so they don't say this.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? on November 24, 2008 8:18 PM

i really don't care because i' may be bigger than some people but your beatiful in your own way. i'm tierd of those popular girls who think there better than you but after you've been through it long enough you will evintrually learn to egnore them.

~**BrItTaNy MaRiA**~ on November 25, 2008 11:38 AM

yes! lots of girls are so worried about do they look good? are they skinny? also all girls worry about what boys think of them! girls would do just about anything to get their crush to notice them. i always think does my hair look ok? is my make up natural? its just a girls instinct to worry about little things like that, but you are beautiful in your own way.

yess!! sometimes i feel like im not good enough for guys to like me. I just blow it off and hold it in but i feel so pressured to wear a lot of makeup and and all that stuff. I'm just going to wait until high school to get into boys. I know im beautiful in my own way and nobody can change that.

she looks hooooooooottttttttt!!!!!!!!!!

Who doesn't? In my school, we're full of skinny, pretty girls and if you don't apply to 'The Perfect Figure', you're dateless, backstabbed and sometimes, friendless and often teased. All of those 3 things apply to me and I'm sure-other girls. But it's different here. People will insult you for no reason. And they barely realize you're hurt.
It's become so bad for me up to the point where I've begged my parents to move but they can't until 2 years from now.
2 years of this? Will I survive till then? It's uncertain. And everybody will say I'm fine just the way I am, but no matter what anyone says, I still know that I'm fat, ugly and unlikable.
I like listening to Everything I'm Not by the Veronicas, because it reflects me a lot.
If the words 'Messed Up' was in the dictionary, you'd see my face. I'm ugly, people are racist to me, nobody ever liked me more than a friend plus my hair is all messed up and never stays straight and goes frizzy nonstop.
What's worst is me becoming ugly affected my behavior.
When I was young, I had perfect hair and weight. I was a quiet but smart student. I was pretty, no doubt, but even then no guys minded me. Then I became fat and ugly and the hair....that's when the quiet and smart student in me became the tomboyish prankster I am today.
And guys here really do care only about looks.
I should know, cause I have a pretty, thin best friend who has the same attitude as me, even worst, but is pretty and always has boyfriends and is rarely single. And the fact she keeps talking about me behind my back is far from helping.
I don't get it.
I was a perfect child back then, why did God have to change me? I don't know. Maybe I wasn't meant to be happy.
I wish I could take up homeschooling too except that my parents are never home anyway.
That's why my dream was to become famous so then I would feel useful and prove them all wrong.
I'd just feel better if my dream came true.
Besides, I write a lot of songs about my feelings mostly.
But the chances of that happening are 1 in a million.

ALL THE TIME ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!


I think that everyone does at some point

If you don't you are lucky!!

I think the pressure to be perfect is really big now a days. A perfect example would be Miley Cyrus. She's not perfect. Everybody expects her to be perfect like little Ms. S. Gomez. It's cool to be your own person and do your own thing. If Selena lieks to be perky and perfect, that's her issue. If Miley likes to be tough and lead a rocky life, so be it. I highly doubt their actions affect you, unless you're a follower. Some people hate on Selena because she's RUMORED to be dating Nick Jonas. I'm not saying they're not. If they are, congrazt. If not, it is what it is. People think just because they like Miley they can't like Selena or just because they like Selena they can't like Miley. um, hate to break it to you, but you can like more than 1 Disney starlet. Don't worry! It's not against the law!

okay...
im not exactly pressured to be perfect or try to be
but i know a couple of my friends try to be.
i tell them you realy shouldnt because its just a waste of your time... AND NOBODY is perfect...
but they always end up saying my parents say i need to have my grades perfect.. and need to look almost perfect or perfect for this guy.. im like seriously why pertend to be something your not.. cuz your realy not being yourself and that means the guy wont exactly like you for you... he'll like you because your "perfect" and what if one day you wake up late and have to ketch the bus? and have no time for all the makeup you wear and the guy sees you for your natural beauty and doesnt like it? BUT THEY NEVER UNDERSTAND!

no i do not feel the pressure because i am not that kind of person and nobody is perfect anyways so i suggest the people who think their perfect they need to grow up with their immature self i cant stand it when people act like that it is showing that you are just into ur self and do not care about friends and family

i do feel like i have to be perfect everyday because of my sister. she is popular prettty and SKINNY! i do not feel pretty everyday and i hate everyone loving her and not me. Everyone thinks she has the perfect life

I do all the time. Really, no one is perfect. People may judge you. About your size, clothes, religion, and other struggles. But yet, the people who are saying that to you, probably are going through similar situations. I know because i am large. My father passed away. And people make fun each year. But i fight for what i need. It made me fail math, lose interst in what i loved the most. I didnt tell people what people were saying about me. The smart thing to do that if someone is bothering you, tell someone, a trusted adult, and dont feel like your the smaller, or weaker person. Selena and Demi are great role models, they dont care about what other people think, they can be whoever they want to be. And it really doesnt matter if your perfect. because if you have friends and family that accept you, for you, that is awesome. If you ever have problems or need advice, im always open to talk. my email is Bop2thetop1220@yahoo.com

yes and it is a lot of presure .like sit up in your seat and stuflike that!

Yes i doo

okay i dont wanna be perfect sometimes I ALWAYS WANT TO BE PERFECT!!!!! i mean the girls at my school are so pretty and the boys are HAWT but the boys are so hard to get cause they only date "PERFECT GIRLS" i wish i was famous like every other girl... >.> but sometimes you wish you were dating the HAWTTEST boy in school i wish i could be living my most wanted dream to come true everybody thinks i have a great voice but if i had a good voice why aren't i famous yet?!?!?!!? a girls life is hard to live every thing is like oh im the it girl and your not cause your ugly or something BLAH BLAH BLAH i hate how people can be so picky and im kinda serious!! as im writing this comment.....this paragraph is coming from my heart deep deep deep DOWN in my heart please if any body wants to get to know me add me on msn jzarkha@hotmail.com

I aint under pressure i think i'm fine the way i am just FINE

I FEEL IN UNDER PRESSURE ALL THE TIME,IT CAN BE HARD BUT USALLY I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT PPLE SAY ABOUT ME BUT YES IT CAN B HARD! NO MATTER WHEATHER YOUR IN MIDDLE [ME,8TH GRADER] OR IN HIGH SCHOOL IT CAN B SUPPER HARD TO TRY TO B PERFECT. NOT THAT I AM CUZ I NOT.

yes i do becuz of all these stars who look so perfect u start to yhink y dont i look like that

you have no idea the pressure im under. my moms an alchoholic my brother has anger management problems its my first year at a new school and people are already calling me names. the stars are so selfish with their perfect lives I mean what about the kids in africa with aids? miley and demi and selena just sit back and gossip about how they wont be able to a show tonight because of a small blemish.:(

sometimes i do. but then i really dont. i have my friends to back me up. them popular pplz dont have real friends to do that. they will push the one person they think they can count on to the limit and BAM shell crack. and ditch her. and then shell b all alone and try and make u suffer. well dont fall for it. its stupid.

Yes I do. BUt not alot. I thnk that no matter how pretty or confident you are everyone has times when they think that they need to be better or perfect.

just be u no one else be your self i be my self and u girls and guys who think they are all that gess what YOUR NOT!!!!!!!!!!! so be nice!! if any one wants to talk im at sierrarocks@yahoo.com

yes i do from all at school you all always tease every body one time they put a loser sign on my jacket

yes i do from all at school who all always tease every body one time they put a loser sign on my jacket

Yes...i do feel like i need to be perfect. And the reason for that is the media. All the young celebrities our age make it seem as if there sp perfect and lucky..every girl out there wants to look like them believe it or not. Some girls starve themselves to be skinny,spend money iiresponsibly to dress like them, or even do other things to themselves to feel like there speacial in any way that they can. I honestly don't want to go ito don't want to go nto details bou't that.

Yes...I do feel pressured sometimes...but as long as I stay true to myself and my BFFs, that's what matters the most..:)
Do you agree?

Angie and Paris on November 28, 2008 8:24 PM

Angie: Noooooooo! Why should you be pressured about something that doesnt even exist?

Paris: Yeah! Nobody thinks that they are absolutly perfect. Maybe they dont feel pressure, but they dont love EVERYTHING about themselves. And believe me, the most popular person feels pressure and dont like everything about themselves.

I totally feel that way! I love Selena Gomez (not like literally) and I feel like I need to be like her, perfect skin, perfect style, and perfect publicity, and my life is the exact same opposite. You can describe my life as Jordan Sparks's song "One Step At A Time"! I really wanna be perfect and impress a bunch of people and hopefully become famous and meet Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas some day, but my life is sooooo not perfect that way!:(

i do sometimes but not all the time. inside i want to be famous but i have learn that i am fammous cause all my friends & family knows my talent and i learn that is famous. i have also learned that i am rich because i have people who love me a lot.

I feel a lot of pressure.
I sit in my room dark and alone
where nobody can see the tears I shed.
I tremble when I wake up.
I shake through the day.
Hide the dark place in my mind by putting
on a smile.
I write about my life
of being depressed and scared.
My mom works all day.
Gets home at midnight.
She has an alchol problem
and throws away the money she gets.
My stepdad can grab enough money
to put some bread on the table.
I dont open the shades in my room
I cant stand the rainy place we live in.
Ask God up above, why am I like this?
I walk through the halls.
Nobody knows how I feel.
Im scared to go to sleep.
Im scared to drive and fly.
I walk down to a parking lot in the store
by my house.
I stand in the middle.
I look at the sky.
Im lonely. Im gone for
two hours. Mom hasnt gone looking
for me yet.
I need help.

The people who think they are perfect are the ones who arent. If this makes sense, being different is normal. If people were exacly the same, that would be weird. Life isnt like that. We cant all be the same way because we have to be able to please one person. And we are, if you know it or not. To dream about the person you want to be wastes the person that you are. Dont dream about being that person, be that person.

Yes, all the time! Whenever i don't do something right my parents say do better next time, which is just a little push. But, with all the "beautiful" people out there it's hard not to feel just right. Which is why i feel this way when someone else looks prettier then me. That gives me the extra push to say ok i need to work on my looks a little bit harder you know?

I sometimes feel pressure. But you need to focus on being yourself and what your values mean to you.

yes i do feel prussered into being perfect like u here how all girls so that they have to be skinny or pretty and popular to be perfect and if ur not like any of the then ur not perfect so i have been really stressted latly just try to be perfect and i do feel prusered to be perfect.

I think that people feel pressured everyday...what people really need to focus on though is being themselves...and people are gonna like you no matter what.

YES I TRY BUT IT HURTS ME AND MYSELF TO TRY I CAN NEVER DO OR BE PERFECT I WISH PEOPLE CAN HELP ME THAT LOOKS PERFECT

Yes, becasue everyone has either perfect hair, perfect body, or perfect style, or all three like Salena Gomez

I definitely feel the pressure to be perfect and I'm not comfortable in the skin I'm in. I want soooooooo badly to become an actress but I feel I would have to get a complete makeover, like brows plucked, teeth straightened, face cleared of blemishes, i bite my nails and I also feel like I would need to lose some weight. I would say that ESPECIALLY now, the pressure of everyone's appearance is greater.

oh yeh it is hard being perfect thanks for having someone the same

ya i do you because i try to act like every on else and that does not go great at all.

Yeah, you might always try to be like the populars and fit in, but sometimes it doesn't work well. My advice to you is just be yourself...there's no better.

YES! I think that I need to lose a few pounds, but everyone I ask "Your so skinny" or "Your thin" they dont understand. I have about three zits right now, and they are volcanoes. I feel like everybody is staring at them. About my hair...somedays it looks good and somedays it is extremely frizzy. I have big jugs, and sometimes I get teased because my boobs are big. A lot of people in my class are flat chested or have a little bit of boobs.

Just be yourself...its more than enough. If you are yourself then people will like you for you.

I do feel pressure, but when people tease you, it says more about them than it does about you.

Each and every girl has a right to feel beautiful. You are beautiful, dont forget it. If you think your ugly, you arent. You are your biggest enemy. Its time to stop that. When you try something, most people point out the obsticles. Make it your job to point out the postives.

yes always bc well my friends i have to keep up with and homework and studying :P I HATE STUDYING AnD aLso BoYz U aLwAyZ have to lOok cUtE and stuFF all of us i think have stress one point sum more than others though!!! and i have tons of friends its hard to hang out with everybody whhen some of my friends dont like sum of my other friends so yeah its really hard to do stuff when ur all stressed out and stuff!!!! :D

I feel I have to be perfect because there is this
girl and her name is Vanessa and she is like perfect
and I feel im not. I have a crush on this guy his name is Logan .H he is Vanessa's ex but she has another
boyfriend his name is Micheal and he is HOT!


DEBBE

heyy ya cause u have 2 look cute ANYWHERE u go u also got 2 look cute for boyys ttyl hav fun

heyy ya cause u have 2 look cute ANYWHERE u go u also got 2 look cute for boyys ttyl hav fun

Yes because sometimes you feel like you have to look like girls in magazines and on the big screen but i think you should just be yourself but if you feel like you have too look perfect anyone you should have to look perfect for yourself everyone has too look good you'll never know who you could run into

yes I do because I know Im not perfect and nobody else is, but some people just look perfect and i dont!!! it makes me mad!

Courteney H-S on November 30, 2008 7:18 PM

I don't really like being perfect. I'm just a crazy outgoing girl alot of my bff's think im totally weird sometimes but they are too. We sometimes pick on the preps(Morgan J. Shae M.) because they think they are so perfect. Being perfect is not always the best thing to be, I TRIED to be perfect. But then I relized it just wasn't me. So I just act how I act. Now people eccept me for my own personallity instead of a made up personallity

Mrs.JoeJonas♥ on November 30, 2008 11:04 PM

I never liked being perfect. Every time I tried to be perfect it always wen't wrong. I just act like my self. The silly,funny, sweet, outgoing gilr I am. My friends and family like me the way I am, so I don't need to be perfect.

well....i depends...nobody is perfect but i will always try my best to be as close as possible!!!!!!!!1

I do feel very pressured to be perfect because I fell like the only girl in the school who doesnt have a boyfriend and its realy depressing. It was really bad when i went with my friend and here boyfriend someplace it made me feel lonely and stuff.

I dont feel pressure to be perfect. At school, I tried to be perfect, but it didnt feel right being perfect. Im outgoing and active and I talk to everyone, but really, being popular is over-rated. You HAVE to be perfect, skinny, and have a boyfriend. You think its hard trying to be perfect, the popular people have to be perfect. Thats why you shouldnt feel pressure. You have to act like them to be popular, and in my opinion, the popular people shouldnt be popular because all they do is make fun of other people.

I think that all girl are pressured to be perfect, by boyfriends, parents, friends, teachers, coaches, and even our selves. I, also, tink that we should be happy with who we are, and that is the best that we can do and just ignore rude comments. Even Miley Cyrus said that she changed for Nick, becouse he said that he liked her better in highlights, so she changed her look. Us girls should stick together and not change who we are becouse someone told us to.

~Brittanyface~ on December 1, 2008 4:38 PM

OF COURSE IM PRESSURED,EVRYONE IS!!

yes. I feel the need to be perfect all the time. Not just my looks but my school work to. I see skinny girls everyday at school with there cute boyfriends and I wish that I could have that to.

yes, of course! everyone feels pressured at some time in their lives. looking at selena gomez and miley cyrus, it makes me feel like i'm not pretty.

Mileyfan162 on December 1, 2008 6:18 PM

When I feel pressure to be perfect, I look at Miley Cyrus. She is my fave celeb. We all have flaws, and she admits to having them, which I think is the best a celeb can do. She is honest, like in a magazine she talked about not knowing who to hang with, and things like that. She is a normal teen, and acts like it! Selena and Demi are the same way, but in a 'now look where I am' thing. Miley is Miley Cyrus for God sake who doesnt love Mi?

I am afraid my friends will say I am to skinny.I am pressured to be the way they want me to be.

Yes i definitly feel the perssure to be perfect! You we are pressured on a daily basis by parents,teachers and peers to be perfect. Especially nowa days with tv and celebritys people feel the pressure to be just like the stars they see on tv! I think that television gives a very un-realistc view of how people should look and act, people should just be themselfs and be happy with who they are but that is easier said than done! Also girls feel alot of pressure because today boys are very shallow not all but most are and make girls feel like they should be pretty and done up all the time just to impress them. The presure of perfection sucks!!!

I think that television gives a very un-realistc view of how people should look and act, people should just be themselfs and be happy with who they are but that is easier said than done! Also girls feel alot of pressure because today boys are very shallow not all but most are and make girls feel like they should be pretty and done up all the time just to impress them. The presure of perfection sucks!!!

Omg, I do think we are. SO many girls now a days do so many things to try and pretty and skinny and perfect. I know that I don't not have the skinniest body in the world, but I'm not too bad and even then other girls the same exact size as me call me fat and ugly and that no ones ever going to like me. That just disencoureges me because with all the things that I want to do it involves being the perffect image. Like if I wanna sing or act I have to lose weight first or they edit me to look more petite and it just hurts to know I'm not good enough for others. Hopefully one day these people will see beyond body image and look at what people really can do and what they will accomplish.

I dont feel like i have to be PERFECT
But skinnier, not like those models , those human stick figures but not too skinny, not to fat
and really pretty with PERFECT teeth! :/

i dont feel like i have to be perfect but i do want to look skinner and have pefect teeth is that like so wrong a lot of people tink i am perfect just because i am going out with the most cutest boy ever but im not perfect i mean i know that i am not perfect some people say i am and others say im not but i dont really give a flip because i am me no one else but me and that is the only person i will ever be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

I did then i was like why do i have to stress myself out trying to look good for myself and for other people. I should be happy the way i look cause lets face it nobodys perfect . We can look good without being perfect. Rember our inner beauty is important too. We dont want to be like those girls who think that they are all that and they look down on people we just have to be comfortable in our own skin

johanaly vega on December 5, 2008 10:41 PM


dear selena i have never done this befor. so let me in
on you bye.

I'm always so scared for being ugly or my skirt is messed up or something!! I'm scared embarresing myself and then my bf dumps me!!!!!! -Kelly :)/:(

yea i do feel pressured by a lot by family friends and even my bf! i know no ones perfect but don't you ever get the urge 2 say " U DON"T RULE MY LIFE!" to your friends? i do a lot of times and its frustrating! I think real girls aren't perfect and perfect girls aren't real. i feel like i wanna be myself around they people i love but you know its hard your parents just want the best for you and your friends just wanna fool around and have fun. Its like you can't decide and i don't know which one to pick. should i go with the good grades or go have fun and don't care what happens!it feels like i'm being pulled into so many directions! I don't like it all like other gurls my age dont!

yes it feels like everyday you have to be perfect or no one will like you

yes when i go to school and see all these gurls that are pretty and have boyfriends i get jealous and want to look like them because i dont want to be ugly and guys not like me

I feel the pressure to be perfect and flawless and skinny everyday. The POPULAR girls in my school are beautiful and get any guy they want and are flawless and skinny!!!!!! In my school, you're a loser or your one of them. One of them meaning the girls that think they're perfect. Some of those girls I am friends with, and others I just want to...UGH!!!!!!!! But I learned that the only way to deal with it is to ignore their comments. If a person has ALWAYS been mean to you (or used to be your friend then turned on you) and then just out of-the-blue acts like their your BFFL, I'm not telling you to not be friends in return, but, be careful with what YOU say and do and what THEY say and do. But most importantly, JUST BE YOUSELF!!!!!!!
Who cares what THEY say???? All that matters is what YOU say!!!!! Right????? I know that you've already hard this before.... but it's true!!!! If someone makes fun of you, they probably are jealous, because, they only have friends because they're pretty or popular or they're just....
well....jealous. And if you have a crush.... well, that's a different story!
Now, with a guy, that's when it's crucial to be yourself. If you dont he'll find out and tell everyone your a posuer. If you are yourself and he likes you... he'lln tell everyone you're a nice cool person. If you dont know if he likes you dont use messengers or notes or IM or texting or calling or any of that!!!! Just go up to him and say 'Hey. Um, well, I kind of like you and I was wondering if maybe you like me to? And... or we could hang-out sometime. You now, just you and me?'
Now, I'm not saying you have take my advice, but I've made these mistakes and did and said stuff I shouldn't have and now I'm trying my hardest to get forgivness from the people I've hurt, so, yeah. So don't EVER feel pressured to be perfect or any thing. And if you do, just laugh and say whatever, because beauty is in the inside not the out!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think there is so much pressur from the celebraties to be perfect, skinny, beautiful, and exactly like them. more and more kids are becoming anerexic from the stars, just look at Kira Knightly! shes ruining kids minds! over weight kids thrive to be like her, will they ever stop? celebraties are brain washing the kids to become skinnier! and when they say, "im so fat" though thery're so skinny, they make it like there fat. that ruins kids minds!

MileyFan957 on December 6, 2008 11:10 PM

I feel like I have to be perfect even my best friends make funm of me and make me think im a loser! ppl always think I never talk and i'm the quietest person in the whole school but I KNOW thats not true and I've come a long way from shyness so it makes me feel really bad!and also im only like 10 and Im already starting to get oily skin and zits!
So u should make an artical about how to make ppl not think ur shy and quiet
and how to get rid of acne zits pimples oily skin or wat ev PLEASE

no, I know that it feels like these days everyone has to be skiny, where this and that, have your hair a certain way, where this brand clothes. and nobody can be themselves. Its hard to go to school knowing that someone is gonna cretisise u on how u look! sometimes its my bff that makes fun of but all i know is, in the end the only that has actually been making fun of me is me!

yes i do feel pressure . i dont wanna be just the pretty face, boy magnet, hot bod, ect. girl. i wanna be normal. i hate going to school. this is cause i get good grades, and people are mean becuase they are jeaalous. i wanna be normal!!!! EVERYONE want to be my BFF. they want to casue i might be dateing a guy they like and they want that excct guy. omg it is so hard

I think that every teenage girl has the pressure on them to be so called "perfect". People care so much what they look like, how skinny you are, does that really matter? I know i am constantly looking at myself in the mirror not liking what is looking back at me, but you know noone can be absoltuely perfect. The unrealistic things magazines ((of course not J-14)) are showing teenagers of what they are "supposed" to look like can be sickening. Teens are starving themselves just to be skinnier. To be "happier" but who ever said that being skinny and gorgeous lead to happiness? Then school starts adding onto the pressure and of course, boys. But how much can one person handle? I think that the pressure to be perfect is one thing that would help everyone if we could live without it. Girls are looking down on their selves or on others. I, myself, find the pressure of being perfect constantly creeping up on me. It gets to be too much. Trying to maintain an A average while keeping up with afterschool activities and social time it gets hard to stop to critisize yourself, and when you do it just lowers your own self-esteem. Perfection is impossible to reach, yet we all try so hard to reach it. Why? Because of the pressure, because of those certain girls in school who whisper and talk about you, because of that boy that makes you smile just thinkin about, because of our "idols" that look so gorgeous in magazines. If we could all just stop and see what we are doing to ourselves i think some would realize how stupid it all is. Teens are landing in hospitals for starving themselves or getting plastic surgery to become something they aren't.
Perfection isn't everything. Pressure can control your life. Don't fall into it. It can hurt. Live you life. Have fun. Be crazy. Be who you want to be. It's your life. Don't let other people control it.

yea kinda sorta in a way but i feel pressure frm othr girls sayin im perfect hmm.not really.theres always the othr girl thats always purtyer than u!!!=)wer all purty in our own way!!how cheesy!jkjk ahahahahahaha!!

Uhhh, well yeah. But it isnt too bad. Just put on makeup and wear baggy clothes that makes you look skinnier.

Hi again. Im perfect. You arent. Im better because I eat peanut butter as a snack. Out of the jar.

Yes a lot everday. I feel pressure to be good at everything; school, sports, with friends and family... People at my school goes up to me and are like: I wish I was like you, you are so perfect: perfect body, perfect smile.. But what they dont know is that I am the worst with myself: I think I am so fat ( people says that Im too skinny) wich I dont understand It seems that anymore I cannot take a compliment because the pressure of being perfect is so high... :(

I feel pressured to be perfect at everything. I'm always afraid to mess up while playing basketball and volleyball and I'm always scared that I never look my best.

ya i defentily feel the presure cuz when the most popular walks in and ur crush asks her out well you feel that she is perfect and ur not :( so luclky my friends are always there for me thanks to all my bff even though sometimes you dated my crushes so ya and by the way that is not my real name right it down cuz i dont want anyone to know the embarssing stuff i go throgh so ya ....

I think that Im fatter than all my friends, but when I say something to anybody they say you are so not fat and that I dont understand.

no, i don't feel the pressure. i like myself the way i am and i can accept that. if others can't then that's their lost!

Being different is akward. I am Mexican in America, so I feel left out because of my heretige. I am accepted by other people, I just need to accept myself.

ASL3Y GARCIA on December 9, 2008 5:17 PM

I don't really care what people think of me you they just critisize others ,because their jelouse they didn;t care like me. Some people especially girls put to much pressure on themselves so look all perfect for guys. Sometimes guys don't pay attention to our bodies or our looks they look at what'a inside -feelings. :}:} You should be comfortable in your own body and not just look at the example of those skinny models in the magazines,come on their the 1's starving themselves not you.!!!! So enjoy life by being you don't let no one or nothing make you change your atitude or awsome personality --endless you want to ::}}
Guys are interested in layedback girl who are cool : just be yourself!!!!!!!!:];]];]

I LOVE UR MAG !!!!!

Yeaaah, I feel Pressured alot to be perfect. What pressures me the most is the girls out there, that look perfect, pretty, skinny, e.t.c. But I just try to remind myslef, they are not perfect in anyway. This world, is very judging. But I just try to look at most things positive. For example, dont look in the mirror, and think 'my thighs are too fat, I have cellulite, my eyebrows are to thick.' Dont do that. Look in the mirror and be thankful for who you are. Focus on the good things. And there might be some people who look perfect, but there not. Nobody is perfect. More then half the population of girls feel pressured in some way, to be perfect. But we shouldn't. If you really think about it, who cares what you look like. Just enjoy life. You live it once.

okayy ill admit i do care wat ppl think....ALOT!
but i'm like rly skinny and for all u ppl who are sayin skinny= popularty u are sooo wrong!! i'm kinda popular but not as popular as i wanna be so be proud of who u are stand tall and don't be afraid to be urself ppl will notice and like u for who u are!

STAY BEAUTIFUL♥

hi at is very good at it...........ahhhhhh.

I do care about what people think about me. I want them (especially guys) to think I'm beautiful.

I think everyday girls everywhere are being pressured no matter how small it is. I will always be pressured to be perfect. Although I may feel beautiful, someone may come along, and there I am, wishing I had their clothes or hairstyle.

YES! everyday! Girls think that they are to fat when in fact they are very skinny. this upsets me a lot. I'm not saying that I am the skinniest person but if you are happy with your life... who cares right?!

tAyLoRrOxUrSoX on December 12, 2008 8:30 PM

yes! i mean, pop. girlz alwayz make u feel like a big fay lozr. and that jessie girl at the top- iz like sooooooooooo a pop. girl. u can ttly tell. she iz soooooo mean. u can tell that 2.

Not really around my friends and stuff but when it comes around boys I feel ttly pressured!!! Mostly around the guy I like. OMG! :)

Not really around my friends and stuff but when it comes around boys I feel ttly pressured!!! Mostly around the guy I like. OMG! :)

occasionally. i mean, there are celebs out there that actually speak what is on there mind and are famous for the all the right reasons. others, i think, are just doing different things to get attention for themselves. this being said, the celebs that try to get attention draw it in all the wrong ways, making it seem like girls need to be skinny, preppy, & drop-dead gorgeous looking to get friends or even a guy. when, in reality, they arent even that. the computers and cameras these days edit everything out for them. they have a zit? you wont see it, 'cause the computer make their skin silky smooth. their smile isn't practically pearl white? the computer changes the coloring. so occasionally, i do feel the pressure to be perfect, but its those other people in your lives to make you realize that you dont have to be skinny or popular to be beautiful. and those are the people worth sticking with.

of course i do i fell pressure to look perfect to be perfect around popular girlz and hot guys,to get good grades,to have a better body i just wish that for once all that s*** wouldn't matter!!!!

I do feel the pressure because i am kinda over weight, but i am friends with all the boys and that kinda makes me cool but not rly and all the girls make fun of me and idk wat to do? I rly need help I had a bf for a day! He didnt want his friends to make fun of him. i cant be the best girl no1 can! i think there is tooooooooooo much pressure in this world!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Who doesnt. There are 2 kinds of people at my school.
there are the pretty skinny flirty girls who get evry guy and everything they want and still complain about their lives
.Then theres us girls who acctually get acne that we cant cover up and boobs that are normal sized and stomachs that may be a litt less than flat and are always teased by the populars because we arnt always sucking face with some hot guy. Did it ever ocur to them that mabey we like ourselves and dont need a pile of cash and a hot guy to feel important. Why does there always have to be that opne gruop of girls who make every one else feel awful? people should be able to feel good about them selves but theres to much PRESSURE!!!!!

i do feel pressure. no guys or people like the people that are always alone at my school. to be popular, you have to be skinny, pretty, and at my school people ALWAYS cuss. ew i hate it. why can't people look inside, not outside

i do feel pressure. no guys or people like the people that are always alone at my school. to be popular, you have to be skinny, pretty, and at my school people ALWAYS cuss. ew i hate it. why can't people look inside, not outside

i always feel i need to be perfect because all of my friends are amazingly beautiful and feel like im the outcast.

Yeah! Everybody tells me I need to do better and be perfect but when I think about it, its like no one is perfect!

Anna: Kind of. Everyone feels pressure sometimes, but I have all my friends like Katie, Leah, Cara, Linda, Molly, and Becca!

Katie: Thanx Anna. And yeah, pressure spreads like a cold. Your friend feels it, all of a sudden you feel pressure too!

Cara: Same as Anna

Leah: When I am I just call up Rebbecca, Anna, Katie, Cara, and Molly because they feel the pressure.

Becca: Same as Anna/Cara.

Linda: I dont feel pressure I am different and I respect that. I can see why people feel pressure, but I have a job and it is to have fun and not care what anybody thinks.

Molly. Same as Anna/Cara/Rebbecca.

yes i think so beacuse we get told to do stuff and the pressure of being perfect is getting crazyer everyday because i feel we can never be our selfves

Here is a saying that I like to remember: You arent kind to someone because they are nice, but because you are, meaning that being kind to people who are nice is nice.

And when your mad: Swallowing evil words unsaid has never harmed ones stomach, meaning that after you say something evil to someone you get that feeling in your stomach, if you swallow it before you say it it wont give you that feeling.

And just to keep going: If your on the right track and you just sit there, youll get run over, meaning to keep going.

Hope these quotes help!

of course
obviously im a girl and im pressured to be perfect
ever since i found out that the guy i like likes the prettiest girl in my school so i felt like i was not good enough. i soon realized he wasnt worth changing over he may be hot but hes shallow

botton line stay true to who you are

-savanna

hey i don't mean to be rude but who is jenna?
In other words whats ur last name?

*Hey*

omj live up to who you are and dont worry about what people think about you or what you wear i always have those problems i always think i am not pretty enough so i have to make myself pretty by dressing up and tryin to make myself pretty , love yourself or who you ae and not for what others want you too

i hate the pressure girls are put under for entire reason . its not right that all teenage girls have to walk around under a spotlight and with such high expectations. im am person who doest care what people think of me and i am very honest. i think all girls are beautiful for who they are and its not fair to be juged under the hollywood spotlight.

I sometimes feel the pressure to be perfect but i'm the kinda person who thinks everyone is equal and they should be treated with they same respect you would treat anyonther girl. All girls are beautiful and special in there own way and no one should treat other girls badly because there not exactly popular or rich or whatever.


WHATEVER pplz!

Yes, because every time I think or look at Selena Gomez it makes me feel how I'm a grain of salt in a huge ocean. Selena is my fave actress and rollmodel, so it makes it worse. I just wish that I could meet her in real life, so I wouldn't feel so alone in this huge country. I just wanna be friends with someone who is famous or get on a TV show, its hard when you live in a low-life state like Connecticut! So I really dream to be perfect, but its really hard! I just wanna be like Selena!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

NO WAY! O golly joy, dont even get me started. I hate those stupid idiots that think that they are not good enough to begin with. You know, the ones that stuff there bras and wear too much makeup..... and dont even make me start on being mean to become popular. I dont even talk to anyone who is mean to be because they wanna be popular! Just today this new kid and two other "popular" (notice the quotation marks) kids took my friends diary and read it in front of the entire class. NOT COOL! It was in FACS class, and my friend Dana was helping make cookies, and when she came back there she found them READING HER DIARY! I hate those butt holes. They only did it because they know that she is not strong enough to stand up for herself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, it was the hour before lunch and when I saw her crying and she told me what had happenend........I ALMOST KILLED THEM! I went over to there table and I yelled in his face that if he ever coem anywhere near my friend Dana or anyone that I even PARTLY like as a frined that I would INJURE him. I swear I almost choked them! STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOTALLY ONTOP OF GETTING UP AT 530 ITS STRESS

I am always feeling pressured because everyone thinks u have to be skinny, pretty, and preppy to have a botfriend and if not ur out of the picture :(
and its not TRUE

I am always feeling pressured because everyone thinks u have to be skinny, pretty, and preppy to have a botfriend and if not ur out of the picture :(
and its not TRUE

i need help my bf and i are going out but he has not kissde me yet but these boys are telling him to kiss me should i kiss him or wait for him to kiss me?!?!?!?!

Yeah i think that you should wait to kiss him because
he would think you are moving to fast so wait 4 him to kiss you

yeahh,
its so hard cause if i dont wear eyeliner,mascara,and eyeshadow
i feel ugly,
and people say im skinny but i just stair at myself and cry cause i know im not skinny.
you always have to worry about.
how you look.
how your hair looks.
your outfit.
makeup.
everrryythingggg.
boys dont have any of that.

I dont agree with you lori. I think that some people can truly be happy with who they are and not want to change, even if you are fat or dont have the latest trends

yeah, i always feel perssured to be perfect!
like if i dont do my hair right or wear the right makeup then people will make a smart comment.

People say that you have to be pretty and skinny and have the best boyfriend to be perfect.......but not everyone is perfect!!

The other day i was wearing these tight jeans and my "friend" made a smart comment and said i was olny wearin them to make my butt look bigger.... and i really wasnt tho.I just wore them because they looked good with the shoes i was wearing. But usally i wouldnt even care about what shoes i was wearin... i just pay attion to that noww cuall my friends laugh at me cuz i am not he best matcher.....

i really dont no what to do.....everytime i try to be the best and be perfect there is always one little thing that is wrong

However i really dont care anymore...i just listen to my close friends and wear what i really want and not what everone else want me to wear!! =)

tiffani hamilton on December 21, 2008 11:42 PM

I sooooo doo!!! Im only a 6th grader but all the style is about is skiney jeans!!! I dont have money to keep up with all the lastest treands . And seeing miley cyrus and all the other celibritys shoe us u can be waring sweats and a hoodie is ok then no one will have to feel preshared into doing things. If j-14 had a advise callem bye a real celeb. we wouldnt feel preshared. I would like having like maybe jordan spearks!! you could call it the speark of your day i would read it. I choose jordan spearks cuz she is chubby but is still beautiful and a insperation. Telling us no one is perfuct but as long as they no who they r they r perfuct.

My name is Cassidy.
i always feel like i have to be perfect to make friends and like im always ugly if i dont try.
And i always also feel that i am not good enough for this guy.

Gina Trevino on December 22, 2008 1:04 AM

i do because 2 me all the gurlz that we some/most teen gurl want to be like like demi selena & miley r so skinny(not in a bad way) & pretty & look perfect all the time that we see them that we think we should look like that & in my case a guy i have a crush on lovez selena gomez & now i really feel like i need 2 look like that
well thatz how i feel :]

i don't feel like i gotta be perfect but i always like 2 give the best of me... i really hate it when i feel i could have done something way better than i did!

no, nobady is perfect but you can do your best by stand up hight and be like oh yeah i rock no matter what :)

Yes..All the time.My friends expect me to follow them and be in the crowd.I feel like if I dont do it, they might not want to be my friend anymore.

omg yes!!!!!! i do cuz it seem thats alll the boys want is thin girls

No. I am not pressured to be perfect, cause I dont care what anyone says about me. I learned to look in the mirror to see myself as perfect, because I was made in the image of God.

Falon Nicole on December 22, 2008 8:10 PM

Yes i think all girls do. If your not skinny or pretty none of the guys will like you at school. I bet girls get up way to early just to do are hair and makeup so no one can make fun of them if the dont look like a superstar. trust me i do know how it feels to be unperfect and sometimes i think to myself why am i so ugly nd then i reilize it just takes time to get to know the real you

I don't feel pressure to be perfect. Perfection isn't everything, so I'm just left thinking, "Why worry about such a little thing? It's not what's important! Just let it slide already!"

i never in my life felt perfect cuz i always do course and i never win stuff in my life so whats the point of feeling perfect for my life when no one is perct all ppl do mistakes and all ppl have diffrent rights ppl have diffrent religon so if som1 here feels like they r perfect they r so wrong even popstras of celbs aren't perfect even if they think they r cuz in the past they have done lots of mistakes and we did alot more......but i have never felt pressure to be perfect cuz whts the point of feeling perfect its just a little prob and its not improtant lol im talking to muchhh.....XDD

Halie: yes, because people are so judgemental, you are either in, or you out. Middle school is tough because so many people want to be the center of attention, and will do anything to be in the spot light. To make themselves look better, people will make fun of others, not caring if it hurts their feelings.. I try to be myself, no matter who is looking at you, and thats important. However, i sometimes try to impress people by the way i look, still being myself, wearing my clothes. It is not always easy being in [our] posistons..It makes it bad enough that girls will tease you, but what about the guys?? Heck yes!! They want a.....girl and will make fun of you to your face, i dont wanna be the girl that the guys notice in the, bleh, ew! way..

well sometimes. all my friends are skinnier than me. and when nobody else is around i feel skinny but not in front of my friends i dont. i no that no one is perfect and i dont want to be. but i dont always feel like im pretty. even though everyone tells me i am. i dontt really no. but i just think positive and then i get through my thoughts. normally.

i want 2 feel perfect i want 2 b skinny and pretty!! i dont xactly want to b popular but u know i want people 2 lyk me!!! =]

I FEEL PERFECT SOMETIMES

i feel pressured everyday to look my best. you see all these pretty girls on tv like demi selena miley nd so many more u cant help 2 think dat u want to b them. it gets hard sometimes. i been wearing makeup 4 a long time. even though i know i should fell my best nd all these stars keep tellin me dont change a thing about u ur beautiful da way u way bt still they put on the dress, nd makeup nd go struttin. doin photoshots nd all that too. everyone feels pressured

selena you are cool

selena you are cool

selena you are cool

selena you are cool

I totally feel pressured to be perfect. Who wouldn't!
I mean looking at Super Models on T.V. or seeing one of your friends having the life you want and its all PERFECT! But sometimes being un-perfect is fine. I mean like when your hair looks weird and your clothes don't match. You may just get a compliment from someone SUPER special. But it all depends what you feel. What you think.

Girls always wanna be perfect and always get self-concious about there lookeven though they look amazing!!:D!!

there are days when you're confidence is so high no one can knock it down and you can wear whatever you feel like and you can work it and feel confidence and comfortable. but there are days if anyone looks at you a certain way or acts or says something you dont like you feel unpopular, unperfect, loser, uncomfortable it goes on... but it deosnt gotta be like that dont let it bother you or get to your head and think of something else that keeps you're mind off it bc's its pointless to even think about it.

yes, i feel like it has effected this socialty school, music industry, the media, everything and everywhere you go its there. it changes your the way you look or think if you let it get to you. constantly worrying about what people think or say isnt something you wanna keep doing. well you shouldnt but media forcess all this pressure on young teens. it shouldnt be abused in this way, it shouldnt be about fashion, what the look like, how the house looks like, who are they dating or married to, how did her wedding dress look like? how much was it? how much was their house etc.

media tells how perfect you should constantly be looking like. i worry about about how i look every single morning take half an hour just to get ready because i feel like i half to look a certain way. well thats wrong theres something wrong about that.

the message there sending us to always look perfect and the pictures are always 100% photoshopped why should you throw this message out that we always half to pay so much money to look they way you actually fake to be like ?

I DONT BELIEVE A HUMAN BEING SHOULD HALF TO BE PERFECT BECAUSE NO HUMAN IS

I don't really get pressured to be perfect. Actually, I do what I like. So what I'm different? Nobody can possibly be perfect. Everyone has some quirks. i'm short.

i definatly feel pressuredeveryone calls me fat my mom my dad my ant even my own grnd mother and that was befor i wheghed what i wheigh now thes guys in my neborhood everytime i walk past them call my fat i have been beat by people that i love,i have been sexualy harassed,im ugly fat i have frizzy hair my mom dosent care she thinks im a draa queen all my dad cares about is his stupid game i have no sister old enof to talk to around i have millions of secretsim holding i hate all the pressureits all botteled up all i have is one great frend that i can always talk to but im stilll pressued we barly had any money last summer

I don't want to be perfect.
I like the way I am right now.
Yeah,maybe life gets complicated sometimes
but think about the good things you have.

Yes.. I am pressured! I think everyone is pressured about anything! For me, I get pressured with parents, the people around me and the beautiful people on tv or in magazines. But I know that no one is perfect and famous celebs are just like regular, everyday people and everyone has their moments in the light. So when I feel pressured about anything, I just think that no one is perfect and just be happy with myself..

No one is even close too perfect and everyone has their moments in the light so they could shine.
People should not be pressured about anything even though people are.
You should be happy with life, who you are and the people that care about you.

I know I am.

Yes I'm presured. Everyone says I'm skinny,pretty,small. I have a boyfriend and He is hot and he rides my bus.I am in 6th grAde and I am 11.I go to john Glenn new concord Ohio. Yes I am very popular but I am really nice, I am not so mean like other popular people. But if you get me mad I will get mean and start crusing. But I am really nice. I have tons of friends I just can't add them all because. Their are too much.

some people like Selena Gomez change for peopel to like her
and if i had the chance to tell her i would tell her that fans liked her better when she was the tom boy from Dallas and she LOVED converse and now we see her shopping wearing a dress !
whats with that ?
she use to look like you would want to meet her she looked like she was a normal girl now shes all GLAMED UP !
i dont like her anymore !

that makes people feel the need to be like her
people are changing and wasting the money they dont even have for what so they can look more like SELENA GOMEZ ?

sometimes i feel pressured to be perfect at like school but i no that will always hav my family!

I definitely do feel the pressure to be perfect. I think every girl does. Except mine is a little different than others. I think I'am way to skinny and I get embarrassed that i don't fit into a lot of things and that when i walk into school everyone looks at me and think that I'm anorexic or something. I tried to eat a lot to gain weight but i just nothing seems to work. I just learned to love being naturally skinny.

I definitely Feel the pressure to be perfect. I think almost every girl does. I feel pressured at school mostly, Sometimes at home. But school i mostly feel the pressure to be perfect. I've Always felt that way I'm very self consious and i've always wanted to be considered "popular" But ive never even been close. And i try so hard to be "perfect" well as perfect as i can be but i always end up so far from it.

yeah, kinda. but i enjoy being different so much more! I love to stand out so much, being myself is just so much fun! i dont WANT to fit in, it more amusing to be stared at.

mostly its girls who feel like they have to be pressured to fit in.like i always have the pressure to be skinny and pretty and tall i started working out when i was like 10 years old and thats young.i even sometimes feel like starving to death.or just go on a diet but its life risking just to fit in and be just like al of the cool,cute,tall,skinny,people like for example popstars,moles,acters,dancers,famous people all arround.girls go crazy about how they look i even have to half a back up make up bag in the car with me.also most girls do this becouase of guys and to impress guys.but they only like tall beautiful SKINNY girls.guys once even came up to me and said i was fat and i let thoughs things get to me.i have really frizzy curly hair too so guys at my school like girls with straight hair.i dont get y guys have to be picky it doesnt matter whats on the inside it matters whats on the outside and if a guy ever says like your fat or you not pretty don't just walk away(well maybe if a teacher or someone is standing there)but come back at them dont let that small little word ruin your world.like the guy who called me fat i came back at him and said well then i sure know why you dont have a girlfriend because your a selfish,anerexick,buttwholed,jerk who can't tell up from down.then he said i was ugly so i said well then why are you the one who is stuck without a date and if you keep acting like that way to girls then you'll grow old and have 30 cats and die alone.now was that harsh.................................NOOOOOO.and i take teasing seriously so y do guys do this stuff its either there flriting with you or they just dont have anything better to do.but one thing is right here us girls can and will never find out what goes through guys minds.

honestly i don't feel pressured by anyone. i mean all the ppl in society can either love me or leave me i reely don't give a care:)

i dont feel the pressure anymore because i think i am perfect the way i am

I really wish I didnt let celebritys looks get me down but i cant help it! Even though my family and friends say that for my height (im very tall) im the perfect size....but when i look at pics of celebritys who are like 7 years older and look skinnier...im not so sure. I do exersise a lot and eat pretty good but i still ccant help feeling fat!

most girls feel the pressure to be perfect because of how celberties look, how they might not feel secure in their own body or how guys look at them I feel pressured every day. Every one around me is skinny, has a good complexion and seem like their comfortable being who they are, but everyone has there own flaw. So I've learned to just love myself for who I am and the little things I don't like about myself, I can change in a healthy way. Most girls,all shapes,colors and sizes feel pressured to be something there not but the best you can do is be your self. (:

i feel so pressured, i cry every night. knowing that im ugly, and all my friends say that im not. but knowing that a few years ago i had a "friend" that was saying that i was and saying i need braces and new clothes.[i have buck teeth and she made fun of that!!]
she was saying that i was a bad singer, even though she knew that i wanted to be a singer. i feel like really fat even though im losing weight by the week! i want to say that im pretty, but everytime i try tears come out and i cant say it!!!
and espically guys only take chicks for looks and not personally..

so yes i guess you can i feel pressure by being prefect!! :(

teamtaylor_4eva on December 29, 2008 7:34 AM

YES!I definitly feel pressure, i noe im fine the way i am but i just cant help thinkin wat people outside would think of me if im not perfect.sometimes i get alittle selfconscious without realizin it i feel embarassed for no reason at all.......that duznt mean i have problems...

Yeah,I fell pressured,especaily becaus I have a bobyfriend and tons of friends.But you dont have to be pretty have good clothes anfd be skinny to fit in,all that would matter to me is if i coulsd have a friend who likes me for who i am,not for what i look like .

I don't feel pressure because nobody is prefect. Even if your a modle your still not prefect.

everyone feels pressure to be perfect at one point in there life. everyone feels lyke they have to be skinny nd pretty to be "cool" but if being cool means losing urself wuts the point. i think ihts great to just act lyke urself cause EVERYONE is perfect just the way they r!!!!!!

theres this guy i like but i think he likes this girl Ansley theyre both popular and i no she likes him so i alwys feel like im not pretty enough or cool enough or even outgoing enough its really frustrating

I think it is pressure to be perfect. I look around at my school and everyone has their makeup done and the best clothes and perfect hair. I feel kind of jealous because I don't look perfect like them. I have acne and glasses and I feel like im the only one that has that problem(even though I know there are other people).

I say there is alot of pressure from boys and family but come on its life..................RiGhT?

Summerlovin' on December 30, 2008 1:11 PM

Of coarse i feel that same pressure as that. but i TRUELY -DEEP DEEP DOWN INSIDE - know that nobody is perfect!!!
DO NOT let that pessure get to you!!! :)

Summerlovin' on December 30, 2008 1:16 PM

if you could not put this on were everybody could see please?
i just have a suggestion for you and im not good with the computer!

P.S. THANK YOU IF YOU DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-love ya j-14!!!

Im not saying that any of you do this, but sometimes the pressure is so strong that you take it out on other people and it spreads the pressure like the flu. But calling someone fat doesnt make you any skinnier. Calling someone dumb doesnt make you smarter. Calling someone ugly doesnt make you prettier. Making someone feel bad doesnt make you feel any better. My point is that you can tell other people about their flaws, but that doesnt make your flaws go away.

Yes. Who doesn't feel the pressure to be perfect? I look at magazines and go " Oh my gosh she's so pretty and perfect." I hate the fact that I'm compared to other people....girls in my school go " Why can't everyone be like that popular girl over there? she's a cheerleader, she's pretty she's dating the cutest guy EVER.." it's not fair because most of the people in our grade feel as if they don't measure up and they don't have the confidence to walk down the hall like a model..or talk to that cute guy because they're afraid....afraid that they aren't perfect enough.

Yes, i love this guy and my feel like in order 2 get his attention and 4 him 2 notice me that I have 2 b perfect! I love u!!

Yes, i love this guy and my feel like in order 2 get his attention and 4 him 2 notice me that I have 2 b perfect! I love u!!

i tryed to hard to fit in in my school but then after i heard la la land my demi lovoto it inspired me to be my self and after i just be my self one of my guy friends from last year sall me in the hall way and he said "erin is that you you look fine". I used to be all giry and hood but then i be my self and be the skater girl that i am by changeing my hair like how i am and byeing converses i just fitted in when i be me self i just thank demi for making that song and changing my life she is a true role model

i think everyone feels like they need to fit in and look skinny and pretty and stuff.. that's y i respect the ppl at my school who dress crazy and dont care wat other ppl think!

yes. everyone feels pressured to be perfect, and fit in. i think that even when you try to embrace yourself, and who you are with all your flaws people end up shooting you down. we cant all be exactly like our favorite tv star, we cant let those types of people get to us. i think is immensely tough though

To me, the media is the greatest pressure. Everytime I see adds for victoria secret or other name brands all I see are stick skinny beutifull models. Thats not what pressures me, I am proud of my weight and who I am, but seeing less and less skinny models makes me want to be even better at being me so people who arnt so skinny can be portrayed as beutifull on the media. So my only pressure is to be an even better person everyday, and get as close to perfect as I can, so people like me can be reconised in the media.

i do feel the pressure to be perfect because about 1 or 2 years ago i wasn't the best looking person and i was called ugly. but now i dress differently, got a haircut, straighten my hair, and wear make-up...sometimes i don't even remember who i am and i hate that. if i go back to how i was i'm not sure if it'd be the same =(

we all should know no one is perfect its retarded for people that thinks their all perfect and nothing will happen to them, and next thing u know it, something happens, Selena Gomez i dont like her but she acts she's all perfect sorry fans but she does if u look at her pictures she's tring to hard if she tries less and stops lip singing she will be awesome

Yes i do I feel like I need to be like everyone else skinny, popular, and have a boyfriend. boys dont even like me i hate it everyone makes fun of me except for my friends

I don't really need to feel perfect 24/7, i mean, everyone makes mistakes. You can look good without being perfect and perfect is boring.

Actually, i'm not under pressure at all about being perfect, cause first, people would take you as you are and second, perfect can be REALLY ANNOYING

I do not feel pressured to be perfect by my friends. But sometimes you can feel it from guys. Some boys will be like she's ugly or she wears to much make up, etc. When really you do not need to be perfect. No one is perfect. Just be the best you and thats enough.

totally like girls have it so much worse then guys,guys like fit in automaticly and girls have to work so hard and if we arn't perfect we get made fun of i have been called a twig because i am so skinny i have a fast matabilism i eat so much caus ei hate i think i am pretty but i got called ugly only once and i never let it go so now i try way to hard to look my best and i am not that tall for my age i am almost 5 foot and i am 14 some boys still like me but i don't want to ever be called ugly again
girls are more emotional then guys and i don't ever want anyone in my class to see me cry so when someone hurt my feelings i hurt theres and i hate that so i try so hard not to and they tease me even more i know they only do it cause they like me but it really hurts
i am pretty smart but i have this thing if i am not the smartest in the class i feel stupid it is like a competion in my school so i have to study my brains out so i can prove that i am really smart
you see girls can be competitive and if a girl in my class is smarter then me they will rub in my face
i am pressured at about everything to be perfect

nobodys perfect unless there superfical....
some people need that said to there face...
and some people need to be reminded.

Yes,I Do feel the pressure to be perfect!
because,everone knows i am perfect!
On tests,On Friends,On Everthing!
People Who Dont Feel Like This Are Really Lucky.
I Mean Im Only In 3 Grade.But,Everthing Is Super Hard!

JocelyneGreen on January 10, 2009 12:09 PM

yes,definintly all the time when i think oh the people at my school wont like this shirt or they will think im a brat because i got a 899 dollar coach person and its not a knock off so they will think that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JocelyneGreen on January 10, 2009 12:09 PM

yes,definintly all the time when i think oh the people at my school wont like this shirt or they will think im a brat because i got a 899 dollar coach purse and its not a knock off so they will think that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely do NOT feel the pressure to be perfect. I am already perfect. I have had 21 boyfriends since my first year of high school. I am now on my last year. And when I was a freshman I went out with 6 seniors, and got asked out by 4 others. I am perfect, perfect, perfect!

I am pressured to be perfect, I want guys to like me and notice me!

Yes! When I go to school then all the popular girls always look better than me, can get HOT bfs, and I think why can't I be like them? The last time I had a bf was last year, and he USED ME!!!!!!!!! I will never talk to him again, but I am pressured to be perfect.

Nobody is perfect. Heck, some people have cancer, but are they still confident? HECK YES!!! so like I said, nobody's perfect. Even your crush and that girl who thinks she's all that even though she's not. I'm not perfect either.

i cry alot

i cry alot. peace out homies. its ok 2 b different.

i cry alot. peace out homies. its ok 2 b different.

i cry alot. peace out homies. its ok 2 b different. It makes u, u

Ya 100% No doubt!!!

There is too much pressure to be perfect out there. Its ok to different. You cant compare yourself to other people because something will always be different. Your hair and your body doenst matter. Just be happy with yourself. And your body and hair and makeup, none of that matters. If you want the great hair and body, do that for yourself, not to be popular. Being popular is sooo over-rated. It seems like they are so perfect and get everything they want, but they dont. Their life can be a lot harder than you think. Its the people who think that they are perfect are the ones who are the farthest from being perfect. Do everything for YOU not for ANYONE else!

yes i do feel like i need to be prssure to be perfect
i see all these girls at my school with coach purses pretty clothes i try to be exactly like them and look cool, but it never works out nobady would be my friend

everyone tries to be perfect so all the people who say " oh i dont try to be perfect " ur lieing dont pretend like u havent! love yall P.S girls stop lieing

ever 1 whants 2 be perfect but its hard..
because its like this boy but he dont like you because he likes some other girl.that is the same thing happend 2 me i like this boy at my church but he like girls with big boobs and stuff like that..do yall know what im sayin....some 1 out there has 2 know what i am talkin about.........

In reality, there is NO such thing as perfect, so why even feel pressured to be perfect? I think as long as people try their best and respect others that's as close to perfect as they can be. People should also be themselves instead of trying so hard to fit in. Personally, I'd rather be hated for who I am then loved for who I'm not.

I feel it because my best friend is saying that i'm ugly and other mean things behind my back to my other best friend.:(

Brittany Robinson on January 11, 2009 6:21 PM

Yes I feel the pressure to also be perfect. I'm the oldest daugther and my dad makes me feel like I need to set an example for my younger sister and so I am trying to get straight A's but being a junior and trying to get straight A's under pressure is not easy. Then there's I dont want to eat because I like how my body is and then I watch shows where the stars are like tooth picks and its just too much

I sometimes feel the presure 2 be lyk my friends or 2 be lyk a snob or something lyk that lyk be pressured in2 something im not.

sometimes i feel like i need 2 b perfect for a guy to like me those bi*ches!

Yes all the time. My parents are so strict they like flip out when i get a B.The only fun i actually have is on my computer,cause i have no other electronic games or anything.

yea i am i no i am not but i wish so many things and the only time i feel goo dabout my self is when i am with my friends but not all my friends get along so they all whant them to pick me and i trie to be nice like the most popular girl in school but she has so many friends sigh

No. I don't feel pressure to be perfect. I don't think looks and stuff are everything. think about education and your life! Maybe think about the magazine, J- 14! Just maybe have perfection be at the least of your worries.

Sometimes, yes, with all the media out there advertising these super skinny girls. I feel like I'm overweight every time I turn on the TV or look through a magazine.

Sometimes, yes, with all the media out there advertising these super skinny girls. I feel like I'm overweight every time I turn on the TV or look through a magazine.

yes i do. u r pressure somtimesbut other times no

im 99.99% positive that EVERY1 is pressured into feeling like they have 2 b perfect. NO1 is!!...every1 is beautiful in their own way. you may not hav a model's looks but honestly, models aren't that pretty either. they hav lots of makeup and they r WAYY 2 skinny!!. another thing.....if you feel like you have 2 b gorgeous 4 dat one guy 2 like yiou...its nt worth it...there is sum1 out there that likes u jus the way u r!.....DNT CHANGE 4 NE1!!!!....its nt worth it....u will change 4 dem && wen that "fling" is over....u'll wish u hadnt changed.....belive me...u will hav pressure to be "perfect" but what i ALWAYS keep in mind is:

{NO1 is perfect. every1 has IMPERFECTIONS and our IMPERFECTIONS are what make us PERFECTLY US}

try nt 2 let that pressure get 2 u and remember:

♥♥U R GORGEOUS JUS DA WAY U R!!!!♥♥

-ashlerz {perfectly imperfect♥}

I am pretty sure alot of people are pressured to be perfect. But Just dont listen to what other people say. Just be who you are and if they dont like it tough. You shouldn't change who you are because someone else dosen't like you. at least thats what I think.

well i dont only because im considerd a loser at school cuzz well if i wanna be silly il be silly and im not populare because aparently the ppl i hang out with at school arnt "cool Enuf" and they did offer to make me populare at the price of not baing me and giving up my sisters/BFFLS and i dont see the reson to give me and them up to be a snobby egotistick person when im fun care-free and loving but when i need to be im a bit protective of my friends and the thing i've done to keep my friends safe no way im given them up now lol so yeah why would i wanna be so stressed to be perrfect when i have the most awsome and silly super some times rude friends but hey even when there mean there fun haha
Love:the Care-Free Sometimes Shy sometimes not always her self, Daylynn

yea and the reason is because of to girls and three boys

yes! i feel that way alot... sometimes i feel like being someone else better then me! but then i have to realize that i just have to be me and do the best i can and then i feel better, alot better with who i am.

i feel that way...sometimes i feel like if i'm not nobody will like me...for me it's hard to be me

i think that everybody feels pressure to be perfect. almost nobody in my family has gone to college and my parents are pressuring me to get into a good college and get a usefull degree. i want to be a film producer but my parents want me to be some boring accountant or something. i just want to scream at them that they are putting down my hopes and dreams.

no, if your trying to impress someone they should like u for who u r not for who your TRYING to be

I don't like to be perfect because my friends like me for who I am and we don't like people who try hard to be someone their not. I don't dress to impress boys so if they like me their not going to get a girl who dresses up just for them. So girl just be yourself around boys and they will like if you be yourself!

of corse i feel preasured like al da time its like every1 want me 2 b perfect my friends,family,teachers,every1 so wen i mes up its like the whol world is coming down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!every1 wants me 2 do something and wen i do do it right and giv a 150% at.....wat happend to 100% or 90% y 150% ????????????????????


dnt b hattin

I AM ALWAYS FEELING PREASURED TO BE PERFECT BUT I SHRUG IT OFF. I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK OF ME&&IF YOU DO YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME PROBLEMS IN LIFE.ALWAYS THINK WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT,I HOPE ITS NOT ME, DOES MY HAIR LOOK FINE DO, I HAVE SOMETHING ON MY SHIRT, DID I SIT ON SOMETHING,BUT IF YOU SHRUG IT OFF YOU START TO NOTICE THINGS DIFFERENT,YOU GO UP TO THE PEOPLE AND TALK TO THEM. MAKE MORE FRIENDS.YOU HAVE MORE CONFENENCE WHEN YOUR CONFORTABLE. YOU NOTICE YOUR MORE POPULAR BEING YOUR SELF THEN NOBODY BUT A WANNA BE! BECAREFULL WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH IF YOUR PREASUED YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR FRIENDS.ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO TRY SOMETHING NEW.

Dah! I sooo like this guy and my bff does to. I don't know if I should bump up my style or leave him for her.

yes of course every 1 at my school expects me 2 know every1 2 care about how i look and go on as many dates as possible i been asked but i never say yes cause i way2 young and i dont see da point people r always pressuring u 2 do some thing u dont want 2 do and be some 1 ur not

I try to keep my hair nice.. never works.. but back to the point. I know I'm not perfect, and I guess I accept that. ' Sall good.

Populargrl on January 17, 2009 4:13 PM

I dont feel presured to be perfect because...........

Yes,Definetly.Most girls are constantly feeling pressured to be perfect to wear cooler clothes or wear make-up.I do feel pressured sometimes but it`s normal for girls all the way from 9 to Adult ages.The popular girls are alway made fun of behind their backs but they never care ay my school.Just keep your head up high and you`ll make it out of middle school!

xoxoxoxo

Melody/Amy on January 18, 2009 4:40 PM

YES! i feel that everyone in this whole wide world is pretty much being preasured to be "perfect" there is no such thing as perfect but people believe yes, it is. you are preasure to be pretty,skinny,tall,cool, whatever that people are doing. and it gets really annoying cuz then no body really get to show who they are and what they like if they are being preasured to be the same as everyone else.

I agree with Miley Cyrus. Thats how my best friend Madi and i are!!

YES YES YES!!!!! of course i do!!!!!!!! for some girls, like me, the pressure comes from guys, they're always checking you out looking for something wrong wit you, and to show em off, i just feel i have to B perfect in every way. my IMAGE is the most important thing to me, and i HATE that about myself!!!!!!!! but it's all because of all the pressure that's layed on us........

Miley R. Cyrus on January 18, 2009 9:17 PM

Talor thank you! You see how to be happy about youself! This is Miley (IM NOT LIEING)

Populargrl on January 18, 2009 9:43 PM

Angie girl looks is everthing. You kinda have to be self centerd like me and just THINK your perfect. Were cuter clothes and add a touch of lipgloss get good grades makes sure no more boys dump you then your perfect belive me it works for me!

Kevin Jonas on January 19, 2009 11:59 AM

Yeah i have a lot of pressure to be perfect because well my brothers have it all but no one likes me at all so yeah i try to be perfect but still not even my girlfriend likes me she cheats on me and she doesnt even bother to lie anymore she just says im gonna go cheat on you and walks out the door.

Yes, because some people never get the idea
of just accepting you for who you are. & then you feel the need to be a totally diffrent person. But i never let stuff like that get to me. Just be yourself, & people will love you for who you are.

yes so much.Do you know how much i have to try to be prefect. You have no idea.

yes so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girls go2 skl everyday worrying about what other people will say nd think about them. Girls should know that it's not all about what other poeple think about you. I don't think that any1 should have an empression on any1 else. Whether it's a good1, or a bad1, it doesn't matter. The only people you should want2 act for is no one. Be your true self. Live your life aye aye aye aye......

love ya misses *_*

hi this is Ŧ i Ÿ L Ø R!!

½ evil

i do not feel pressure to be perfect. at my school there are people who get along, people who dont, and most everyone is friends and has best friends, but there are always people you wont get along with. there are no cliques, no popular people in life who dont have drama. at my school everyone has drama, everyone has happy moments, so its a 50/50 thing. Its gotta rain before theres a rainbow. :) I will never want to be perfect. Cuz then my life would be boring. remember this, if we all looked "perfect" we would all be tall, blonde, and skinny. i am skinny, dirty blonde, and kinda short. but i like myself just the way i am. i have the worlds greatest friends. The only thing about my life i would change is that i get my heartbroken alot. but other then that i am perfectly me. No one else can be that.

Not really, because first of all, no body can be perfect, and i realized that you don't have to be like everyone else, and just be yourself, because people will like you for who you are.

Being perfect isnt really perfect
when people say are you perfect they think about your looks. You can have perfect hair, but what if you have bad face features, you could have perfect grades and be preetty but people can think your a brat. Perfect people are the ones that are the nicest and most thoughtfull being perfect dosent mean you are preety. It means that you are a pefect friend that has a good heart.

No, because no mater what my family will always love me. I don't feel like i have anything to prove. I just be myself, and I'm not perfect!

hey nobodys perfect in life you can make mistakes but you always learn from them but if you have like pefect grades it really feels great for that accomplishment

i feel that everybody is trying to be better then everybody else so i think ppll try to be perfect! they try to kinda better then each other in away i think

i feel that everybody is trying to be better then everybody else so i think ppll try to be perfect! they try to kinda better then each other in away i think so i think we girls feel more preesure then boys

yeah all the time. usually skinny people are popular at my school but im skinny and some of the guys make fun of me and theyre best friends are skinier than me and they never get mader fun of.

hi i dont really know the questin so ummm thanks by

yes i do feel Pressured to be perfect.See all my life I was never that girl that was pretty and skinny.I have been overweight my whole life.I have a skin condition on my neck and i am not pretty.Everyday my family tells me why cant i be more like the girls in the tv or in movies.Do you know how that feels?I have tryed everything to look like them but intodays world your not perfect unless your skinny and pretty

i personally feel a HUGE pressure to be "perfect". i am the youngest of 2 much older brothers and they constantly pick on me and my looks get the most attention, i am infact a pretty girl i just have a few extra pounds i feel need to be taken care of. it is hard living my life, i make it seem so perfect around other when infact im getting to the point where im down right depressed. i have tried even starving myself and/or pukeing.. i just dont know what to do anymore. i have tried going fartherand at this point im scared for my well-being.

duh!everyone dose i alwas feal like im not the pritty but i learned that i should be happy with my self and so should everyone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only feel the pressure to look good, but not to be perfect. Perfection does not exist, no matter how perfect they may seem, they aren't. Everybody has flaws, even famous people. They are just like us, and you have to stop trying to be exactly like them. It doesn't matter if you are short or tall, or really skinny or fat. Be who YOU are. I am short, and i really don't care i like my height!

I used to. That was until I realized that you can't live a life with someone who doesn't love you for the real you in it, and you can't live a fufilled life without being the true you 100%. Trying to be perfect is OVER-RATED!

I don't feel the pressure to be "perfect" beacuse nobody can really be perfect. I'm my own person and I don't need to be like everyone else. I have my own style than everyone else and I don't care what people think of it or of me.

Somtimes I feel like you always have to be perfect.But I fond out that you really dont have to be perrfect.

I do feel the pressure to be perfct because everyone put pressur on you. The pressure makes you put more pressure on you. Finally you actually have to do it.

So you really have alot of pressure on you.

I think pressure is bad.

Jayce volleyball star on January 24, 2009 4:58 PM

Yeah, I feel the need to be perfect! I mean what girl doesn't? When I am with my bffs I am the biggest slob and I have to care of how I feel or act, but when I am near my parents, a big group, or a guy I like I have to be perfect no matter what I have to do!

I do feel pressure to be perfect. Especially at school and around boys. And since i want to be an actress i have to be perfect or at least i feel that way.

Of course cuz peeps say i have to lose weight and stuff all the time..

Uh YEAH! Of course, because ,like, first of all theres tons of models out there that are barely a size zero that look like a twig. Then theres thethe fact that you hardly ever see plus sized girls on TV I mean there just as beautiful as the rest of us.If young girls like me only see size zero people on TV then some of us starve ourselves to look like them.Hello give plus sizes a chance to.

Jennifer Lopez on January 24, 2009 10:26 PM

Yes, everybody being pressure to be skinny, pretty and even poular! I use 2 be like that before I realize that nobody is perfect so know i love myself even throw am not skinny are even popular are not that pretty.But that doesnt hold me back from being who i want 2 be in life. so now am standing up for girls out there that they feel like they need 2 be perfect. And I want 2 say 2 them if u love yourself inside & outide u wont care what people think are what people say about you. And just keep ur head high and still Love YourSelf who you really are!!!

yes because all these girls think they are perfect and preps and popular, im popular but i dont brag about it.

its TONES of pressure. Spelling, reading nd s.studies when people STARE at me the MOST

i think yes because selena and demi always go out perfect and i think they are very bad role models and miley cyrus is the preson i would look up to and i think miley is more natural and she wears things that not just her to wear and i think selena and demi can look fake then everyone copies

Rae Poalnco on January 26, 2009 12:14 PM

I do feel the presure 2 be perfect!! My older family members always get mad at me if i do something wrong or set a bad example.But the thing they don't understand is i make mistakes 2 in sports and wit friends.So yes i do feel the presure 2 be perfect


XOXO,
Rae Polanco ;0

i do feel the pressure sometimes!!!! like when at skwl when you see these older children with there make up on and straight hair you always hear them saying "i wish these brats would grow up".

Yeah! but in that pic Selena looks like she is trying a little 2 hard.
I still luv Selena though she rocks!

I know I shouldn't but sometimes I do! but I always remember like Hannah Montana says "Nobodys Perfect I Gotta Work It"! You can always strive 2 be perfect but that takes a while! SELENA GOMEZ IS AWESOME!!!!

I never feel the pressure to be perfect. u should always be urself and if somebody calls u ugly or fat u shouldnt care wat they think

i think everybody does and i think it's just horrible we all say we want to stop it and we think it needs to stop the things we do for prefection so why hasn't it stop already i know i am trying to be perfect in my own was and i think that the inside of our bodys is all the same just not on the outside i mean we all have the same oragans and all but being perfact is being healthy and happy

Most def! there r a ton of pretty girls in my grade and they flaunt it. They r always talking about how hot they r or how ugly they r. They make me feel like i should go live in a hole!

Sometimes I think boys can be weird because when they like you they talk funny and they st st st urder and they never get what they wanna say be cause that is what they do!!!
