I was falling asleep last night when MTV's True Life came on. Since the title was "I Hate my Face", I thought I was about to see the ugliest, most disfigured faces in history. Then I noticed it was just your normal insecure female seeking attention and approval, until I notice that their problems were much deeper. One sprayed water on her mirror so that when she looked into it, she can only see a glimpse of her face (which keeps her from being disgusted at herself). Her whole life is a mess because she hates the way she looks. She shops too much, still lives at home with her mother, and feels that she can't hold a job due to her ugly face. Personally I think both of them are a complete mess, and I've seen WAY uglier people than them, but at the same time that's how they see themselves and nobody can change that for them. It's truly a disease, and a horrible one to have.
The problem that I had with the show is that they both viewed Hiedi (from the Hills) as beautiful. That's sickening. This woman is has had over 10 surgeries to try and correct her imperfections and insecurities. She should not be considered a staple of beauty by any means. These girls look in magazines, and at television to tell them how they should look, and that's their first mistake. This is not a role model, this is an insecure girl with a lot of personal issues she thought she could hide from.
