When you hear the words The Ugliest Woman in the World, what comes to mind? Is it someone disfigured or someone with an unattractive face? Well, in reality, Lizzie Velasquez is a confident, beautiful woman who has been fighting rare disorders: Marfan and lipodystrophy syndromes, risking death every day. Her positivity and enthusiasm for life are contagious, but unfortunately, this isn't enough for our image-obsessed society.

We live in a world where beauty standards define your worth as a person, whether it be your skin color, height, weight, facial features, or body shape. In other words, if you deviate from the norm even slightly, people will not hesitate to label you as ugly. What does this do to people who are already struggling with genetic disorders or physical abnormalities? It makes them feel worthless, isolated, and outcast from our society.

Statistics show that one in five teenagers considers cosmetic surgery to feel better about themselves. We are raising our young impressionable minds to conform to unrealistic expectations that merely add fuel to the fire.

But we are gradually transforming into a more diverse and accepting society, and it is time to start accepting and emulating models like Lizzie. Society needs to recognize that beauty comes in all shapes, colors, and sizes, regardless of your appearance. The pursuit of holiness in soul, mind, and spirit is what we should strive for, and this does not rely on facial appearance.

Ladies need to realize that beauty is diversity, creativity, and enthusiasm, not perfection. If Lizzie Velazquez can live and enjoy life, then why can't we? Bringing further attention to people who stand out because of their appearance will elevate their confidence and assuage low self-esteem.

Finally, discriminatory labels on looks or body type must stop, including the commonly used phrases like real or fake. Negative labeling plunges its victims into negative self-identifier.

In summary, our culture has done much harm by developing shallow standards that victimize many of us, including those like Lizzie Velasquez, who courageously overcome obstacles and nonetheless find great, albeit unconventional, beauty inside themselves. Today's lifestyle requires society to open the door to a fresh perspective so we accept one another, create healthy environment and boost healthy relationship. With this thought, let society spit shines their spectacles to see and praise unique inner beauty going forward.

It's time for society to learn that beauty is not skin deep, but is a quality that comes from within. Instead of praising superficial qualities like physical appearance, we need to celebrate the inner courage and resilience of women who face enormous physical and emotional challenges, yet live life with extraordinary zest and determination.

'The Ugliest Woman in the World' is a classic example of a woman who boldly challenged society's shallow standards of beauty and chose to redefine her own sense of worth and value. Her story is an inspiration to anyone who has been told they are not good enough, pretty enough or smart enough. It's a wake-up call for us to stop objectifying women and value them for their intelligence, talent, creativity and above all, their humanity.

We encourage all our visitors to strive to eliminate prejudice against those who are judged in society only by their outward look. We hope you take this message out into the world and create a better environment, one that validates everyone as equal and worthy.

Thank you for reading and we hope that you will consider what great people can be hidden behind pale looks next time you encounter a person who does not fit the traditional mold of beauty. We must remain compassionate towards others and do our best, on all occasions moving forward, to see the amazing things that set humans apart as individuals.
