A video I wish I would have found years ago

Dove Amy

I came across this video last semester and it literally warmed my heart. It brought me back to my middle school and high school years when I wasn't very happy with body or myself. I still remember always wanting to be something more than what I was...prettier, smarter, skinnier. It took me awhile to become content with my body and I think that is something a lot of young girls struggle with. I believe this video is trying to state that we are our worst critic, we always find a million things to critic when in reality there is absolutely nothing wrong.

I find the video so inspirational to teenage girls because they need to realize they are beautiful no matter what. I think that Dove did a great job with this video because it causes viewers to connect with the situation and it provokes emotion. Dove's beauty campaign can be the first step in stopping insecurity among women. Putting their videos on the web is great because their messages can spread like wildfire. I love the fact that it is something you can send to a friend or family member to brighten up their day. I think that every woman should watch this video as a reminder to embrace not only the beauty of others, but the beauty of themselves.
