We don’t know other perspectives until we hear others or explore the media and form our own opinions. It can really change how we view things.

It makes people feel as if they’re not good enough because of all these famous/rich people. They compare themselves to them and only think about negativity. I used to compare myself to famous people on how they look really good but that was during my early ages and now I like how I look.
