Your perception VS others

From the title, I'm guessing that you already know what I'm going to be talking about. If not... Google it!
All joking aside, here is the meaning-

   the way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted.
3. 
   

The type of perception that I am on about is the second one. Moreover, how people perceive themselves.

Many people on a daily basis look at someone and make a judgement. Before you all go, 'I don't make judgements, I'm all about equality and I accept everyone!', THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEAN. I mean, you might look at someone and think, 'I like that outfit' or 'I think they should style their hair differently'. That is a judgement. The word has such a bad connection to other things, that the minute in which you suggest it, everybody get's their hackles up. 

Another situation that most people go through, is having a bad perception of themselves. This could be physically or emotionally. Although you may see someone as being healthy, happy and an all round good person, they may hate the bits that you love about them. They might want to change their nose or the colour of their eyes, their leg shape or even their height. Usually, it is because people have told them that they need to look a different way to fit in.

What needs to be taught to children and adults is that what they have, they should be grateful for.
What REALLY needs to be taught is to accept people for their quirks, their attire, their heritage, their height, age, voice. Everything. Their entire person. But the real question is, would there be this problem with teaching children acceptance (even more so than we already are) if they already accepted themselves?

I know that I go on about this far too often, but it is a situation that I hold close to my heart. I don't think I see myself as a victim of bullying, or even a survivor. I see myself as a person who has been there. done that. If I can help, I will!

On a slightly more upbeat note, have a wonderful week and enjoy starting college, Freshmen!
