Not exactly noticeable > abilities, are they? 1. Your image of yourseld DOES change other people's opinions of you. If yer down on yerself all the time, other people WILL feel that way towards you. If yer confident, they'll see that. I'm sorry, but that's undeniable. Everyone is more likable when they're happy, and you're happier if you love yourself. 2. "better life" is a silly concept. Everyone's way of valuing things is different. The people whose lives you envy want a life like someone elses, who want a life like someone elses and so on.

Take care and Have a Good night :) I apologize if I've > offended anyone. I disagree, i think it does help people to note their good points and highlight that in their lives. If yer good at art, you can talk about that and, to an un-arrogant extent, show it off. This makes other people notice that, which in turn makes you more well liked, which.. you get the idea. Just my opinion... Summer - -- "Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out, is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basketcase, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 20:37:51 -0700 From: Karen Miller Subject: ET: For all of the beauty, physical attraction, and anything else with looks post hello and merry meet to all! I mean not to a fend any one but why in the hell are we doing this? I agree with a lot of you that looks are the basic of society and imperfections are all that a person see's in themselves not how pretty there hair is or how, how lucky they are to always have clear skin or to have a skinny face. Look all of us are going through the hell of life right now. Some of us think about death while others worry about what to wear to a party or to a club.We all mean the same thign yet say it in different ways.I want to know one thing about this beauty thing for all of you...... have you ever gone so far as to hurt your family while you hurt trash and rip yourself apart? ahhh never mind this talk will still contuie and we will still hate are selves for what we look like even though we know deep down inside it doesnt matter we still will care. holly "have you ever loved somebody so much it mades you cry have you ever needed something so bad you cant sleep at nioght have you ever tried to find the words but they dont come out right" Brandy have you ever ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 20:55:35 -0700 From: moonsong@ix.netcom.com (Us) Subject: ET: "perfect" I was just thinking, who and what really DEFINES what perfect is anyway? How is blonde hair more perfect than brown? Does a girl have to be a 36C to meet the standards of perfect? How come blue eyes are better than brown, and green better than blue? Do you have to look like a freakin' swimsuit model to be perfect? It all depends what your perspective is.
