Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it. -Confucius

I picked this quote because I believe it is something people, especially teenage girls, should think about. People have a tendency to focus on flaws, whether they are their own or belong to someone else. The teenagers in this generation only seem to care about appearances. Suicide is growing ever more popular with teenagers that are uncomfortable with their appearances. Maybe we should look at this quote and realized that we are all beautiful in our own way. If you ever really think about what people say to you, you would probably realize that you mostly remember the negative stuff. Therefore, next time you have something negative to say about someone, think about how you may not see their beauty. Also think about how what you are saying could affect them. It is amazing how someone from centuries ago can grasp something so simple, yet so misunderstood by society today. But what do you expect when we are taught from birth, that beauty is what you see, when in actuality beauty is a person's whole self. This quote is beautiful and it explains everything and everyone in the world. Even the thing you are most terrified of, has beauty you just may not see it.
