Descriptive Essay About A Beautiful Girl

Decent Essays
I was jealous of Kayla Woodson from the moment I realized that for everyone, an individual’s physical appearance was much more important than his or her character. Kayla was one of those individuals. She was one of those pretty girls who got whatever she wanted. Everybody treated her like a princess, showering her with various gifts and attention.

According to me, she was a bully who harassed other girls who weren’t “pretty enough” to be a part of her clique. She was awfully mean to most of the girls in school. How did that make her beautiful?

The tapping on the school windows soon became a pitter-patter. People ran for cover outside and umbrellas were opened as the clouds spat out their beads of water.

They watch their mom’s getting ready, they play with their ‘perfect’ Barbie dolls, and they get a preconception that beauty is the act of being beautiful. No one ever has to tell them ‘beauty is this’ or ‘you are beautiful if you look like this’ but that is the preconceived notion that girls get when they notice the same features considered as beautiful. Here, is where society falls short in the teaching of young girls to love themselves. People conform to society's standard of beauty because they believe only one exists and it can be acquired if not already obtained.…

    Woman Femininity, or rather my best imitation, has always seemed to be forcibly adhered —reluctantly at best— to the façade of my person. It hung loose like the plaid pleated skirt I was forced to wear once a year for Christmas piano recitals, a tradition I resented almost as much as the garment itself. “It will make your mother happy, I don’t ask for much,” I heard ad nauseam, as I pleaded with my mother, grandmother, and aunt to let me wear the relaxed khaki pants I wore for every other event formal enough to cause me to change out of jeans. No matter how valid any points I made using my elementary schooler rhetoric, I was met with the same response. “You’re a girl, just look pretty this once.”…
