We all love ourselves no matter the shape, size or colour we are. But society seems to think that being black makes you different from other people. I know because I am a black teenager.

I am a teenager and everyone knows that when you become a teenager, you become more conscious of yourself /e.g your body, looks etc. Black people need to learn to support other black people instead of bringing each other down. This is my own opinion and I am not trying to be racist. Most of the time teenagers look at pictures of models and “apparently” models have “perfect” and “ideal” bodies. Remember guys there is no such thing as perfect. You are beautiful just the way you are.

For me everyone is unique and everyone deserves to be treated fairly the same way as other people get treated whether old, young, black or white. Lets make South Africa a better place.
