As Salaamu Alikum,
There is nothing more saddening, desperate, and painful than a girl posting her video on YouTube asking the people this question: Am I Ugly? I do not get it; why go around asking complete strangers to validate your shallowness or confirm your insecurities? Why further lower your self-esteem and your value by letting people judge you when the final judgement comes from Allah? Why care about what other people think when the only thing a person should worry about is pleasing Allah?
I am just now learning that I do not need another person's approval and permission to be happy. Too many times when we give people the power to determine our worth and beauty, it winds up being used against us and eventually it winds up hurting us. Furthermore, it sets the tone for a lifetime of self hatred and taking that self hatred out on other people. Remember that hurt people hurt other people. I am truly concerned that the Internet has opened new doors for girls to expose themselves and to be exposed. Instead of posting these videos, I posted the video below to help girls learn what truly matters.
