Girl, You are Wonderfully Designed
It is just recently when I was watching some random videos online, then I came up to a video clip from the Miss Universe 2019 Competition, specifically in Question and Answer Portion. The host asked Miss Mexico about the question, "What is the most important thing we should be teaching young girls today?" The first thing comes in my mind is to teach them the value of good moral, to emphasize the importance of personality over beauty. But Miss Mexico gives a better answer in which she says,
It is very important to teach young girls today, the importance of their value. We see many perfection in social media: perfect lives, perfect bodies, perfect faces, perfect relationship, nothing is that is real. We have to teach them that who they are already amazing, who they are already worth it, because what they really are is not what it looks like, it is what they feel, what they act and the way they react to the world. I believe a girl, is worth for what she has to offer to the world, way more than the way she looks.

In today's generation, especially the young girls have a lot of privileges than how young girls in the old generation was. Girls these days, have the right to speak out, to choose what they want and to do what they love. In the matter of Globalization, the use of internet widen and as a result social media became part of our everyday lives. Being a girl, it is innate to attract fancy and beauty online, it also serve as a gateway for them to have someone who they can look at; like actresses, dancers, models, singers and other social media influencers. For me, there's nothing wrong in idolizing people in social media, as long as they serve as your inspiration to strive more to reach your goals and to dream high.
But then, in social media you can edit your life to make it perfect, which is so different in real life, you need to face what is real and to fight what is in everyday lives. Bashers is very common in social media, their only goal is to pull down others, acting like they are perfect which is not.
As young girls keep on defending real life in social media, they already set standards what is the perfect beauty and on how a perfect life is. As a result, if they can't reach that standard they end up building sadness, anxiety and finally depression.
Being a concern person, a parent, a sister or brother, we must show to them how important being true to themselves is. It's good to dream high but not in a way that they forget how important their value is. Everyone have it's own path and to know what they can do is better than to get stress about a standard that doesn't fit for them. I have heard a lot of young girls saying "She's so lucky. God's favorite", without looking at themselves that they can do more, if they just act instead of complaining. God is good and fair to everyone, but it is in our hand how we respond on it. Let us spread awareness to every young girl's that they are wonderfully made inside and outside.

Well-said and so excellent with your words😊 I definitely agree with you that modern girls right now are more intelligent, wiser, fast learner and amazing...however, due to high technology, modern girls are being prone to wrong perception and leads to immoral values...some dont have anymore values... juvenile deliquency ... the moral values really depends on the environment and the people that surrounds...It is still a must for parents to guide their children on what is right...
