3 . It's all about ME!
“Me”. It's a small word with big meaning.
一 Psychologist, Dr Hart
| Jade, 24, accounting manager As a song in Ugly Betty puts it, “It's a pretty person's world”. I understand this more than most, as I'm a plain - looking girl who'd love to look good. So, ever since I discovered selfie (自拍) apps that could remove my freckles, enlarge my eyes and even slim my jawline, I've become addicted. I spend hours every day editing my selfies, posting them and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times for comments. Dr Hart says: The image Jade presents to obtain the praise of others is false. |
| Anthony, 21, college student I never really cared about my appearance. When I first moved into my dormitory at college, this made my roommates quite confused as they saw me in the same clothes day after day. Last month they registered me for a TV programme, A New You. Dr Hart says: It's true that inner beauty is very important, but external beauty shouldn't be completely ignored |
