I have a friend who is very pretty, intelligent , beutiful personality, bright smile and just an all around great person. She works very hard. Two jobs, while trying to raise 4 children alone. Ages 5, 9,14 and 17. Unfortunatly for her at one point in her life (around 10 yrs ago - she's been 10 years clean) she was using cocaine and it has left her with scars in her face that are a result of the drug abuse (porifirated mucous membranes, permenant rash) In public, people will stare to see if she's tweeking or something. I can tell It makes her very uncomfortable or even insecure at times. She's constantly looking for beuty products to help with her skin. I told her to ignore stares or just stare back, as a result to my advice, it's gotten a little confontational. Why is it that society pre-judges a person based on what they "see" instead of getting to know that person? Could it be that most look for fault in others to justify thier own insecurites? How can I get her to see this?
