On Monday, we were joined by some people from the Dove Skincare Company. They came in to talk to us about self-esteem.
We started by watching this video. It highlighted to us that what we see in the media is often unrealistic, over-edited and an inaccurate representation of everyday life.
In groups, we discussed how this video made us feel: ‘upset’, ‘let-down’ and ‘disappointed’ were just a few common responses. We concluded that beauty is not what you see on the outside but what makes us who were are on the inside. At the end of the session, we made a pledge to ourselves to stay self-confident over the coming years.
